PHYS 2210-01 and 10 Discussion Sections You MUST be enrolled in one of the discussion sections, section 2-9 or 11-18. The only way to enroll in Physics 2210-01 or 2210-10 is through enrollment in a discussion section. You are required to attend the discussion section in which you are enrolled. Discussion sections meet on both Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Assessment Test on Tue. Aug 25 At the request of the Dept. of Physics, The TA s will administer short assessments during Discussion Section on Tue. Aug 25, and will be returned to you on Thu. Aug 27. There will be a PHYSICS test and a MATH test I will discuss the results in class later this week. Based on the result of this test you may wish to drop this class and take PHYS 1500 as preparation for 2210 instead. If you never had a high-school physics course or equivalent then the Dept. of Physics recommends that you take PHYS 1500 instead. If you never took calculus you SHOULD NOT be taking this class. Taking both 2210 and 2220 at the same time is academically suicidal.

Physics 2210-01 and 2210-10 Final Grade Your letter grade in this class will be determined individually and automatically by the best one of three combinations of numerical grades. 1. 5% pre-lecture + 5% checkpoints + 30% homeworks + 30% midterms + 30% final exam 2. 50% midterms + 50% final exam 3. 100% final exam *** pre-lectures, checkpoints, and homework are administered via online system of smartphysics WARNING: Typical Exam Average in this class is 55-60% Default Grading Scale: cutoffs 0-39.9% 40.0-44.9% 45.0-49.9% 50.0-54.9% 55.0-59.9% 60.0-64.9% Letter E D- D D+ C- C GP 0.0 0.7 1.0 1.3 1.7 2.0 cutoffs 65.0-69.9% 70.0-74.9% 75.0-79.9% 80.0-84.9% 85.0-89.9% 90.0-100% Letter C+ B- B B+ A- A GP 2.3 2.7 3.0 3.3 3.7 4.0
Midterm Exams All midterm exams are in FMAB during regular class time (50 minutes). You must take the exam during your registered lecture time. We will take the best 3 of 4 midterms. NO make-up exams. Missing an exam counts as zero score. MIDTERM EXAMS Dates Midterm Exam 1 Fri, Sep 18 Midterm Exam 2 Fri, Oct. 09 Midterm Exam 3 Fri, Nov. 06 Midterm Exam 4 Fri, Dec. 04
Final Exam The final exam for this course is NOT given by the usual class-time table The final for PHYS 2210, Fall 2015 is on Tue, Dec. 15 at 3:30-5:30 p.m. Locations: TBA (the University does not let us schedule final exam rooms until well into the semester). This is a University departmental scheduled exam with separate scheduling from the usual exam schedule given at http://registrar.utah.edu/academic-calendars/final-examsfall2015.php (see bottom of that page)
Exam Rules Allowed: Ordinary (including graphing) calculators One 3 5 index card of formulae (both sides) for midterms, one 8.5 11 sheet (both sides) for the final exam Not allowed: Any electronic device with communications capabilities, Any textbook, notes, or any document printed or written. Midterm Exam regrading: You must fill out a regrade form (downloadable from Course Web Page) for each problem you want to have regraded. Submit this with the original exam page to your discussion TA. The original grader will then receive it and regrade the whole problem Beware that we randomly scan exam papers for comparison
smartphysics Course For PHYS 2210, we use: 1. Online Pre-Lectures (animated lessons, completed before lecture) 2. Online Check-Points (quizzes to check knowledge, completed after lecture) 3. Lectures (derivations, examples, demos) 4. Online homework exercises 5. Printed textbook
Use of smartphysics You will VIEW PreLectures before class.
Use of smartphysics Next, you ll complete a CheckPoint quiz after lecture to CHECK your understanding of the PreLecture.
How we ll use smartphysics Next, you must complete assigned homework problems. *Each assignment contains multiple problems, and each problem can contain multiple parts
Printed Textbook READ the Textbook as needed for review. It is designed to compliment the smartphysics web site (www.smartphysics.com). There are two volumes available: Mechanics ISBN: 1-4292-7270-6 Electricity and Magnetism: ISBN: 1-4292-7239-2
Possibly Useful Online References My Lecture Notes for PHYS 2210 from 2003 (handwritten, based on Wolfson and Pasachoff, Physics for Scientists and Engineers) http://www.physics.utah.edu/~jui/notes-phys2210-2003.zip College Physics from Openstax College Algebra based open-source textbook (none exists yet for calculus-based) Google search openstax college physics https://openstaxcollege.org/textbooks/college-physics
Supplemental Textbook Go to half.com or other used book vendor and order a used, ~10 year old edition of one of the following standard textbooks 1. Tipler and Mosca, Physics for Scientists and Engineers (vol. 1 example shown) 2. Serway and Jewett, Physics for Scientists and Engineers 3. R. Wolfson and J. Pasachoff, Physics for Scientists and Engineers. 4. Halliday, Resnick and Walker, Fundamentals of Physics 5. D. Knight, Physics for Scientists and Engineers.

Pre-lectures (blue) 2. Check-Points (Green) 3. Homeworks (Red) There is one of each for every unit
Polls for Canvas We will be using Polls for Canvas (early release) for in-class polls Available for ANDROID and IOS phones and tablets https://guides.instructure.com/m/22678/l/237896-what-is-the-polls-for-canvas-app
Computer Algebra System In this course I will be working some of the examples using a computer algebra system called Maxima Created in the late 1960 s early 1970 s by the Department of Energy by a team that included Stephen Wolfram (founder of Mathematica) Students are encouraged to try Maxima Current version is a free package available for: Windows, Linux, MacOS Android but NOT IOS (iphone and ipad) Online version for almost any browser http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ Google search for maxima algebra
Downloading Maxima http://maxima.sourceforge.net/download.html The installation programs will install two programs 1. xmaxima 2. wxmaxima For simple tasks like what we do in this class: xmaxima is the one we want to use.
Online version of Maxima http://maxima-online.org/ Google search for maxima online
