Students will demonstrate knowledge and solve problems involving electric charge, electric field, Gauss' Law, electric potential, dipole movements, capacitance and dielectrics, current, resistance, electromotive force and direct-current circuits.
Students will demonstrate knowledge and solve problems involving current, resistance, electromotive force and direct-current circuits including Kirchhoff's rules. Students will demonstrate knowledge and solve problems involving magnetic fields, magnetic forces, and electromagnetic induction including Ampere's law, Faraday's law and Lenz's law. Students will demonstrate knowledge and solve problems dealing with alternating currents, inductance and alternating-current circuits. Students will demonstrate knowledge and solve problems dealing with electromagnetic waves and Maxwell's equations. Students will demonstrate knowledge and solve problems dealing with the wave nature and propagation of light including reflection, refraction, dispersion, polarization, interference and diffraction. Students will be introduced to and develop a basic understanding of the modern theories of relativity, quantum mechanics and cosmology. Students will demonstrate their mastery of these areas through performing laboratory experiments, collecting and analyzing data, computer simulations, classroom discussions and by solving problems. Course Outline: Chapter 21-37 (if time is allowed) Course Goals: 1) To understand the fundamental concepts & principles of electricity, magnetism, and light. 2) To develop systematic and effective problem-solving skills 3) To acquire knowledge and techniques that will be useful in other endeavors - academic or otherwise. Student Evaluation Method: Exams (3) 40% Homework 20% Quizzes 10% Lab Reports 10% Final Exam 20% Grading Scale: A: 90 100% B: 80 89% C: 70 79% D: 60 69% F: less than 60% Homework: Problems assigned from the textbook. HWs will be assigned everyday. One HW will be graded in each week. Late homework is only accepted under special circumstances with the prior consent of the instructor. There may be a penalty deduction for late submission. Each assignment will be graded and returned. The normalized of total homework score will count as 20% of the course grade. Copied homework will be challenged. I will give 0 point if you wrote only answers without showing how to find those.
Exams: There will be three exams during the semester, and each will cover 4-5 chapters of material. The exam grades will be averaged to count as 40% of the course grade. The problems will be based on the assigned in the homework. No make ups or late submissions are allowed. Quizzes: Everyday, students take quiz for ten minutes before starting class. All quizzes will be graded and returned to students. Lab Reprots: Every student must write a lab report in each lab. Lab reports can be written by either printed computer typing or handwriting. Submissions of Lab Reports are due two class days after the experiment was performed. (Labs missed due to absences cannot be made-up)... Final Exam: The final exam will be given on Tuesday, August 21st, from 1:00 pm 2:50 pm. It will cover material from the entire semester, but it will also emphasize material from the last 4 weeks of class. It will be a closed book exam which will count as 20% of your course grade. The time and date of the final exam will be strictly adhered to. There will be no options to take the final exam at any other time or date. Attendance Policy: Regular attendance is required, and I usually drop students who do not attend class. If you cannot avoid an absence, you are responsible for all information and material discussed in class. If at some point you should decide to drop the course, please discuss the matter with me before doing so. Withdrawal Policy: Withdrawal from the course before W day (see current catalog) will result in a final grade of W on the student transcript and no credit will be awarded. It is the student s responsibility to initiate and complete a request for withdrawal from any course. Note: As this course is primarily for science and engineering majors, you are expected to act professionally and to take responsibility for your own learning. Not only does this mean showing up for class on time, but the expectation extends to how you conduct yourself in and out of the classroom. If you continue with this course of study you will certainly see this material again and build upon it in future courses. Hard work now will pay off later! ADA Statements: The LSCS is dedicated to providing the least restrictive learning environment for all students. The college system promotes equity in academic access through the implementation of reasonable accommodations as required by the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title V, Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) which will enable students with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all post-secondary educational activities. If you require reasonable accommodations because of a physical, mental, or learning disability, please notify the instructor of this course as soon as possible and preferably before the end of the first two weeks of class to arrange for reasonable accommodations.
Academic Integrity: Lone Star College System is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic community. In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student s exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as one's own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation, a faculty member will take disciplinary action including but not limited to: requiring the student to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or F for an exam or assignment, or assigning a grade of F for the course. Additional sanctions, including being withdrawn from the course/program or being expelled from school, may be imposed on a student who violates the standards of academic integrity.
