Physics 143 - Farmingdale State College

Instructor: Dr. L. Makarowitz (Lupton 200A)

Text: "University Physics" Thirteenth Edition by Young and Freedman

Lab Manual: "Experiments in Physics" Second Edition by Nolan and Bigliani

Grading Policy:

Your grade in PHY 143 will consist of 75 % from your performance in the theory portion of the course, and 25 % from your performance in the laboratory.

Grades in the theory portion will be based on four large examinations (each worth 15 percent of the theory, with no exams dropped) and a comprehensive final examination (worth 40 percent of the theory). All exams (including the final exam) are traditional problem-solving exams, in which all work must be shown. Students must work independently on examinations, without the use of formula sheets, texts, notes, or other aids (except for a calculator).

Information concerning the laboratory portion of your grade will be provided on a separate sheet. You will receive a single grade for this four-credit course.

The last day to withdraw without penalty is November 2, 2012.

PLEASE TURN OFF ALL MOBILE PHONES COMPLETELY BEFORE ENTERING THE CLASSROOM AND LABORATORY. A tentative schedule of topics follows.
