For example: homework question 140-01. ) phone: (610) 430-4084 office: Schmucker Science South 229 OFFICE HOURS: My scheduled office hours as of the first day of class are listed below. I reserve the right to adjust this schedule to reflect unforeseen circumstances. Please note homework assignments are due on Thursdays. Monday Wednesday Thursday 1:00-2:30 pm 1:00-2:30 pm 2:00 pm 3:00 pm Office hours are available by appointment for students with an ongoing conflict with my scheduled hours. REQUIRED COURSE MATERIALS: Physics, James S. Walker, 5 th Edition with Modified Mastering Physics A suitable lab notebook. Students should see the lab syllabus for details. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Physics 140 is a continuation of Physics 130, which covers electricity, magnetism, electrical circuits, optics, and quantum physics. We will cover electric forces, fields, and potentials, circuits, ray optics, wave optics, and modern physics. Physics 140 is primarily a service course for students in biological and health science fields, so we will emphasize applications to these fields. A laboratory portion of this course will provide hands-on experience with these phenomena and give a glimpse into how scientists discovered the physical laws covered in the lecture. Prerequisite: A good working knowledge of the material in PHY130. STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (SLOS): 1. Students will demonstrate an ability to analyze problems involving electrical forces and fields. 2. Students will synthesize the new concepts of electrical potential energy and electric potential (voltage) with their knowledge and understanding of mechanical energy. 3. Students will demonstrate an ability to both categorize and analyze electrical circuits. 4. Students will demonstrate an ability to analyze problems involving magnetic forces and fields. 5. Students will demonstrate an ability to synthesize magnetic forces with their understanding of uniform circular motion. 6. Students will demonstrate an ability to summarize and interpret Faraday s and Lenz s laws. 7. Students will demonstrate an ability to synthesize the electromagnetic wave description of light with their understanding of mechanical waves.
8. Students will demonstrate an ability to analyze problems from geometric optics involving thin lenses and mirrors. 9. Students will demonstrate an ability to synthesize their understanding of mechanical wave interference with interference of electromagnetic waves. 10. Students will demonstrate an ability to analyze problems using the uncertainty principle. This set of student learning outcomes will be assessed via performance on exams, and homework sets. Please see course schedule for details. SCHEDULE FOR A GENERIC WEEK: Monday (1 st meeting): Lecture on new material. Monday (2 nd meeting): Either a second lecture, a recitation where we work on problems together, or a review session. On weeks where we use the 2 nd meeting for lecture Wednesday is a recitation. Tuesday: Out of class work and study. Wednesday: Either a lecture or recitation (see description of Monday). Labs meet. Thursday: Labs meet. Homework due at 11:45 pm online. Friday: Lecture on new material. Saturday: Work on homework? Sunday: Work on homework? This course requires a significant time commitment. Typically students need to commit ten or more hours per week o the course. ASSESSMENT: I will be using the D2L grade-book feature to post course grades. Please check it periodically. Laboratory (15%): Please see laboratory syllabus for details. Homework (15%): Every lecture has two homework assignments. One assignment is for credit. The other assignment, which wills be clearly labeled practice is not for credit. This assignment is for additional practice. All of the assignments from the previous week are due at 11:59 pm on Thursdays. During a regular week the assignments associated with the previous week will be due. Regular Exams (50%): Four regular exams will be given during the semester. I will keep your highest three scores. o If you miss a regular exam : If you miss an exam for a University Sanctioned Event you must notify me in advance so that we can arrange for you to take the exam in a manner consistent with its integrity. You must also provide some form of documentation (performing arts program, competition schedule etc.) In all other cases a missed exam will be treated as your dropped exam. o If you have an OSD letter pertaining to exams: You are responsible for making the appropriate arrangements prior to the exam date and time. Final Exam (20%): The final is cumulative and will require synthesis of concepts from different parts of the course. The dates and times of the final exams for this course (as set by the registrar) are listed below. You should plan to be available for the entire finals week. We have in past semesters had to reschedule finals due to weather related events. Our final is scheduled for Wednesday 5/9/2018 from 10:30 am -12:30 pm. It will be held in Merion 112.
I will be using the official WCU scale for grades, see http://catalog.wcupa.edu/undergraduate/academic-policiesprocedures/grading-information/. However, I reserve the right to adjust the weights of individual components, or the scale to account for unforeseen circumstances. ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY: The pace of the course is such that your undivided attention will be required for the entire lecture and lab period. Please set all electronics to silent or vibrate mode and put them away. If you would like to use an electronic device to record or annotate lectures please read the intellectual property statement and then talk to me. D2L/MODIFIED MASTERING PHYSICS: We will be using two online platforms for this course Modified MasteringPhysics, the publisher s homework system, and D2L. Homework assignments are to be performed on Modified MasteringPhysics. To allow for structured note taking I will post my lecture slides prior to class. These slides intentionally leave some information, such as example solutions out, and provide space to fill that material in during lecture. It is your responsibility to check these resources periodically for any updates and announcements. THE COURSE ID FOR MODIFIED MASTERING PHYSICS THIS SEMESTER We will be using Modified Mastering Physics this semester. The course ID is: pfeil63845 ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance is taken is taken for this course. Attending lecture, while highly correlated with success in this course is not graded. DISABILITY STATEMENT: If you have a disability that requires accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), please present your letter of accommodations and meet with me as soon as possible so that I can support your success in an informed manner. Accommodations cannot be granted retroactively. If you would like to know more about West Chester University s Services for Students with Disabilities(OSSD), please contact the OSSD which is located at 223 Lawrence Center.

Official university communications, including those from your instructor, will be sent through your university e-mail account. You are responsible for accessing that mail to be sure to obtain official University communications. Failure to access will not exempt individuals from the responsibilities associated with this course. UNIVERSITY SANCTIONED EVENTS: If you will be participating in a University sanctioned event during class or an exam you must notify me in advance. Please see the discussion of University Sanctioned Events in the general catalog. PHYSICS TUTORING: Physics tutoring is available through LARC (610) 436-2535. In the past peer tutoring has also been available from SPS (the Society of Physics Students). If SPS tutoring becomes available this semester I will make an announcement. These should be considered in addition to my office hours, which are the first place you should stop for additional help.
