FINAL TEST (Chapters ## 1-12)
Grading Procedures The course grade is determined by the following components:
10% Activities in the Lab
30% Two Midterm Test Grades
55% Final Test
5% Student’s Class Activity, Attitude, Attendance.
A tentative grading scale is:
A > 90, A- >87, B+ >84, B >80, B- >77, C+ >74, C >70, C- > 67, D+ > 64, D >60, D- >57, and F < 57.
Course Policies Homework is NOT graded but ALL exams will be largely based on concepts showing up in
homework problems.
All lab scores will be used in calculating your lab grade. No lab scores will be dropped.
You MUST complete a MINIMUM of 80% labs to pass this course.
Lab Report is due to the beginning of the next Lab.
Make-up exams will be given only for excused absences consistent with
CCNY policies.
Please give me your attention during lecture.
I will do my best to start and end lecture on time.
Advice The payoff for doing the homework is a better understanding of the physics and,
consequently, higher examination scores. I HIGHLY recommend that you do all the
homework, Lab Reports, and any supplementary problems.
Student Conduct All students must be honest and forthright in their academic studies. Please see
Rules and Responsibilities at CCNY for descriptions of what
constitutes plagiarism, cheating, and academic misconduct.
Electronic Devices All communication devices should be turned off BEFORE beginning of class sessions:
any case of using such devices will be considered as infraction.
Absolutely no cell phones for calculations in Class. Only BASIC calculators
can be used during the Tests: no calculators with memory.
Absolutely NO FOOD in Class, please!!!
