Students are encouraged to try these practice exams. These practice problems are meant to act as means of self-assessment, and their scores will not affect the final grade. Math Skills An operational knowledge of basic college algebra, trigonometry and calculus (differentiation and integration) skills are essential for your success in science and engineering courses. The following are good websites for self-assessing your understanding of these topics as requisite for your introductory physics courses It is highly encouraged that you visit these online math tutorial sites to fortify your grasp of basic math skills. Please make use of the self-assessment tools and tutorials within the referenced sites. A very helpful site for Math and Physics are: COURSE FORMAT Online Lectures and Quizzes: Online lectures link is posted on Moodle. The online lectures cover the corresponding sections of the text and the solved examples listed in the course schedule. It is important to study and understand the step by step solution of online examples in order to be able to solve the test questions on Expert TA. One of the main advantages of this textbook is the large number of solved examples that cover all topics included in the course. Pay attention to these solved examples! - 2 -

3 Online Lecture Quizzes (submitted in Mastering Physics) There will be 16 online lecture quizzes. Study the corresponding sections in the book, review the recommended solved examples in your textbook, and view any online lecture notes posted before answering each quiz. You have only two submissions in each question to discourage guesswork. Due dates All online lecture quizzes are due every Monday at 11:00 am. In-Class Meetings: Students will come to class 2 times every week: one in-class Lecture Review Sessions and one Problem Solving Session. All Lecture Reviews will take place in Burson 121; Problem Solving Session locations differ for different sections - please consult Banner for exact meeting locations. INTERNET ONLY SECTION STUDENTS (SECTION 002) DO NOT HAVE IN-CLASS MEETINGS. Lecture Review Session time is used to summarize content, clarify concepts and deal with misconceptions, subtleties, connections and applications. Students are encouraged to participate in class by asking/answering questions and clarifying doubts. During Problem Solving Sessions, examples will be solved and problem solving strategies will be reinforced. Online Homework and Practice Problems: All Homework and Practice Problems will be posted on Mastering Physics weekly. Students are encouraged to attempt Practice Problems before attempting Homework problems. Online Weekly Tests and Topical Tests: There will be a test each week containing 4 questions on Expert TA. Weekly tests must be attempted between 9AM and 5PM every Friday. There will also be 3 Topical Tests throughout the semester. These tests will also be administered on Expert TA. There will be NO extension of deadline or make up on any Quiz, Homework, Practice Assignment, or Weekly Test. However, lowest 2 scores of each category will be dropped in consideration for the fact that it is inevitable that some students will miss completing certain assignments due to various personal reasons.

Without maintenance of high standards of honesty, members of the instructional faculty are defrauded, students are unfairly treated, and society itself is poorly served. Maintaining the academic standards of honesty and integrity is ultimately the formal responsibility of the instructional faculty; and this responsibility is shared by all members - 4 -

5 of the academic community. UNC Charlotte strives to create an academic climate in which the dignity of all individuals is respected and maintained. Therefore, we celebrate diversity that includes, but is not limited to ability/disability, age, culture, ethnicity, gender, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status. Students have the responsibility to know and observe the requirements of The UNCC Code of Student Academic Integrity (Catalog p. 275). This code forbids cheating, fabrication or falsification of information, multiple submissions of academic work, plagiarism, abuse of academic materials, and complicity in academic dishonesty. Any special requirements or permission regarding academic integrity in this course will be stated by the instructor, and are binding on the students. Academic evaluations in this course include a judgment that the student s work is free from academic dishonesty of any type; and grades in this course therefore should be and will be adversely affected for academic dishonesty. Students who violate the code can be expelled from UNCC. The normal penalty for first offense is zero credit on the work involving dishonesty and further substantial reduction of the course grade. In almost all cases the course grade is reduced to F. Students are expected to report cases of academic dishonesty to the course instructor.
