There may be some additional homework problems assigned during the class. Old exams will be on file in the library as an additional source of problems for the student. As with any university course, student preparation is essential. The student is expected to read the material in the text before the corresponding lecture, and is expected to review the appropriate material, including handouts, before lab. Failure to take a scheduled exam will result in a grade of zero.
Lab reports are due at the beginning of lab, one week after the completion of the experiment.
Missed labs must be made up, and any missing lab reports will result in the student receiving an F for the course. A copy of the equation sheet will be made available to the students in advance of the exams so that the students may better prepare for the exam. Any needed constants will be provided by the instructor. It is strongly advised that the students use the equation sheets as they do the homework, so that they are familiar with the equations and their appropriate use. Plus and minus grades will be assigned as refinements of this scale.
