I and my students need to both contribute to the learning process. I want to give my students the opportunity to enjoy physics as much as I do. Problems will be assigned to enable you to apply the physics' concepts in a mathematical manner to problem situations. One of the two-period sessions will be used for a lab activity related to the physics' topics being considered. The above procedures provide opportunity for me as the instructor and you as the student to each contribute to the learning process.
Attendance is taken.
When you are absent, you cannot benefit from my instruction and you cannot contribute to the class discussions. Assigned work still needs to be completed and due dates still apply. All work must be submitted to satisfy requirements of the course. Tardiness is very disruptive to me and your classmates. It is also disruptive to you since you have no idea of what occurred before you arrived.
