* * * * *
Course Format: The course schedule is designed so that coverage
of a new topic begins with your reading the assigned material in
the textbook and review of the notes posted on the Physics I web
site. The next class period, your professor will give you a short
lecture on the same material, and answer any questions you may have
about what you have read. Following the lecture, the instructor and
volunteer teams will work on problems relating to the topic of the
day. You will then work in teams on an activity in class that is
related to your reading and the lecture. The class activity should
help to clarify the topic further. Your homework assignment (listed
on the schedule for the date when DUE) is based on the material
that was covered in the reading, lecture, and activity for the
previous class.
Homework: There will generally be written homework due at the
beginning of each class. (We number assignments by class due.)
Because of the large number of homework papers to grade, students
should submit the homework in the format explained below and on the
Homework page of the web site. Each homework set consists of five
points of problems selected from the book. The problems are
generally listed in order of increasing difficulty. Regular
Problems are worth one point each. Challenge Problems are marked
with an asterisk (*) in the Schedule (see below) and are worth two
points each. You can hand in more than five points of problems, but
your grade will be a maximum of five per assignment. If you expect
to get a high grade in Physics I, you should do at least one
Challenge Problem per homework assignment. (A few assignments have
no challenge problems because the five regular problems demonstrate
important concepts.)
Classwork:
1. Problem(s) of the Day: After the lecture, we will spend about
10-15 minutes solving the Problem or Problems of the Day. These
will be brief multiple-choice and numerical exercises, similar to
homework and exam problems, based on the lecture that was just
completed. One or more teams of students will volunteer to work the
problem(s) in class with the instructor’s guidance. In some cases
the instructor may work out the Problems of the Day in front of
class instead of volunteer student teams.
2. In-class activities: Our Physics I course is based on
learning through activities, so this is an important part of the
course. You will be assigned to work in teams on experiments and/or
problems in class. Each activity has a corresponding Word document
that will be posted on the Physics I web site shortly before the
first section works on it, and left there the remainder of the
semester for you to review. There will be a limited number of hard
copies to use in class, but these should not be written on as the
same copies are used for all sections. Each member of the team will
answer the activity questions on her/his own sheet(s) of paper, but
will work together on the activity. The activity papers will be
collected and graded. Your ability and willingness to work as part
of a team will be evaluated and considered in assigning that grade.
In-class activities which are missed cannot be made-up without a
written medical or other valid excuse as per RPI policy. Under
special circumstances and with prior approval from both of the
instructors, a student may attend another section and complete the
activity there with one of the teams. Generally, it is not possible
to make up an activity unless you can make it up in another
section. The reason for this is that most activities require
particular equipment to be set up prior to the class and are
designed to be done in a group. You will be allowed to drop one
activity grade – this will be your lowest grade or a 0 if you
skipped an activity without a valid excuse. Even if you are
excused, you are still responsible for the material in the
activity. Students must collect all graded activity papers from the
undergraduate teaching assistant. All students should hold onto all
graded papers. No questions about activity grades will be addressed
without a complete written record.
3. In-class exercises: Exercise problems (they are like exam
questions) will be given as part of many activities, typically at
the end. You can discuss these with your team members and anyone
else, but when you hand in the activity for that day the work on
the exercises must be your own, not simply copied. You will be
graded on your reasoning and explanations, not just getting the
correct numerical result. This part of the activity replaces the
in-class quizzes that we have used in Physics I in past
semesters.
Academic Integrity Policy: Academic integrity is one of the
cornerstones of RPI. Students taking courses at RPI have a right to
expect that their work will be evaluated fairly with respect to
other students. They have a right to expect that other students
will not attempt to enhance their own grades or the grades of their
friends by cheating. Professors have a right to expect that their
students are honest and submit work reflecting their own efforts.
In an atmosphere of academic integrity, students and professors are
on the same team trying to achieve the same learning
objectives.
If you attempt to cheat, you are placing yourself in a position
where you are at odds with your professors and the vast majority of
your fellow students. Some RPI students have discovered to their
lasting regret that there was no graceful exit strategy when they
were caught cheating. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and
we will treat it accordingly.
The first occurrence of academic dishonesty will result in an F
for the course.
The development of teamwork skills is a course objective in
Physics I and II. Hence, all students are expected to participate
actively in a collaborative group when working on the in-class
activity. However, each student must turn in her/his own activity
write-up containing only work to which she/he contributed. In other
words, we expect you to participate on the team and not just copy
other people’s work. Activity write-ups from groups of students
will not be accepted. No student will submit an activity in the
name of any other student who was not present. This is considered
cheating by both students involved and will be handled according to
the policy for academic dishonesty stated above.
Discussing homework problems and getting help with them is
permitted and encouraged. Looking at someone else’s solution to
learn how to do it or to check your own solution is permitted.
However, simply copying a homework problem from another student or
any other source is cheating. You need to understand the problem
and solve it yourself.
When you take an examination, any type of collaboration is
considered cheating. Sharing information about the exam with
another student who will take it in the future or is currently
taking it is considered cheating for both students. Taking an exam
in the name of another person is considered cheating for both.
Copying answers from another student’s exam without his or her
knowledge is considered cheating only for the one who copies. Using
prepared crib notes or a book of any type during an exam is
cheating. (You will be given the same formula sheets that you will
find below when you take the exam.) Altering or adding to answers
when you submit an exam for a re-grade (see below) is cheating.
If you get creative and think of a new way to cheat that is not
specifically mentioned above, it is still cheating. If you are that
creative, please put your talents to better use.
Exams: There will be three major (1 hour) unit exams in this
course. They will be held on Tuesday Oct. 4, Tuesday Nov. 1, and
Tuesday Dec. 6. Exams will be held from 6:00 PM to 7:25 PM. Rooms
will be announced.
In each exam, including the final, you will be given a formula
sheet. You are allowed to use ONLY those formulas (or equations
that you derive in writing on the exam paper from those formulas)
in the solution of exam problems. It is permitted to use standard
math facts or formulas from algebra, trigonometry, etc. Constants
will be provided on the formula sheet or in the problems as
needed.
We give you an hour and a half for the exams but we aim for one
hour’s worth of questions. Normally, there are multiple-choice and
true/false questions, graphing problems, and homework-type
problems. To make sure that you get all the partial credit you are
due – not to mention making it easier to grade – please present
your work in a neat and logical format. You must answer each
question on the same page as the question, front only.
There will be no make-up exams, but there will be conflict exams
for recognized RPI events such as athletic games. The difference is
that a make-up exam is a different exam given at a later date,
while a conflict exam is the same exam but given at a different
time. If you know ahead of time that you are going to miss an exam,
for any reason, tell your instructor. Often these problems can be
handled. This semester, Physics I was scheduled with a block of
time for everyone on Tuesdays from 6-7:25 reserved for exams,
reviews, and other purposes as needed. In theory, the need for
conflict exams should be minimal. If you have a learning disability
recognized by RPI, you should come to a conflict exam so that we
can give you extra time, even if you don’t have a schedule
conflict.
You may use only the following items to work on the exam: pens
(black or blue only), pencils, erasers, rulers, straightedges, and
calculators of any type. (Note that any communication between
IR-enabled calculators is cheating as explained above. You may not
store crib notes on alphanumeric-capable calculators.) Personal
items like Kleenex, water bottles, and candy are OK, but please
don’t hide crib notes in them. Laptop computers, PDAs, cell phones,
pagers, music players, knives, scissors, scrap paper, note cards,
white-out, glue, tape, and staplers are prohibited from use during
an exam.
You may not unstaple the exam. You must put your name on every
page. If the exam comes apart or you seem to be missing any pages,
or you notice anything else that you need to bring to our
attention, please raise your hand and summon a proctor immediately.
Students who promptly and honestly notify us of a problem will not
be subject to any academic integrity penalty for the situation
reported.
Exam Re-Grade Policy: If you think there was an error in grading
your exam or adding up the points, it is up to you to bring the
error(s) to your instructor’s attention within one week of getting
the exam back unless you have an RPI excuse. Use the cover sheet,
front and/or back, and write which problem(s) you think should be
re-graded and why. The instructor will take your exam, check it
out, and give it back in about a week. Please ask only your own
instructor for a re-grade. Exams that have been written on after
being handed back, except on the cover page, cannot be submitted
for a re-grade. Under no circumstances will a re-grade be
considered for an exam after the next exam or final has been
given.
Final Exam: The final examination is optional. However, if you
miss one or more unit exams, excused or not, the final is
mandatory. If you are satisfied with your grade after all
activities, homework, and unit exams are complete, then you are
finished with Physics I. (See the next section for how we determine
grades.) However, if you are not satisfied with your grade,
particularly if you have one or more low unit exam scores, you can
attempt to raise your grade by taking the final. If you do take the
final and hand it in for grading, it counts as two unit tests,
giving you an effective total of five exam scores. We drop the
lowest score of the five scores, computing your exam average from
the best four. Taking the final does not guarantee you a higher
grade; it could lower your grade if you do poorly.
The final exam lasts three hours, but we aim for two hour’s
worth of questions. The format is similar to the unit exams, but
twice as long.
The final exam date will be scheduled by the registrar. We do
not know the date of the final until quite late in the semester. We
have often been scheduled on the last day of exams. Hence, until we
know the date of the final, do not plan to leave campus before the
end of the final exam period. No special arrangements will be made
for students who cannot take the final at the scheduled time.
Physics I is an introductory course and so if you have a conflict
between our final and another final, you will likely have to
reschedule the other final.
Grades: Your course grade will be determined as follows:
Exam Grades:65% (3 unit exam average orthe best 4 out of the
optional final counted twice plus 3 unit exams)
Homework Grade: 10% (drop 5 points worth)
In Class Work:25% (drop 1 activity)– Broken down 7/10 for main
activity, 3/10 for exercise grades
Remember, there are no make-up activities, quizzes or exams and
no late homework will be accepted without a written excuse or prior
arrangement.
Laptop Computers: Your laptop computer will be used only during
Problems of the Day and activities. Generally, each team will need
only one laptop computer running the LoggerPro software available
on the Studio Physics CD. Some activities will not require a laptop
computer. These are activities with only a Word document and no
other files listed. Days when you (or a team member) need to bring
your laptop are marked on the schedule.
All student laptops will be closed during the lecture part of
class. Your instructor may give you permission to use your laptop
to follow the lecture notes if you cannot see them well from your
seat. Please don’t allow your laptop to be a distraction during
lectures.
Because you will be working closely together with people of
diverse cultures and backgrounds, please do not have wallpaper,
screen savers, and other pictures visible on your laptop that you
would be embarrassed to show to your grandmother. This is the same
rule of common sense and courtesy you will find when you are
working in any major corporation, university, or research
laboratory.
More About Homework: Our homework problems are taken from the
required textbook, which you should have purchased as a package
(new or used). Putting down the right answer for a homework problem
gets you zero points. We give you all the answers. Your job is to
show how to get the answers using the principles and equations of
physics you have learned. It is up to you to present your work
neatly and in a style that makes it clear to the grader that you
knew how to get the answer. It is not up to the grader to decipher
your messy work. Because of the large number of papers to grade,
there will be no “re-grades” of homework. Missing a few homework
points is not a critical problem. (See “Review Problems” below.) If
you feel your homework is being graded consistently incorrectly,
please see the course director.
The first page of each homework assignment and activity should
contain the following information:
NAME
CLASS DUE BY NUMBER
SECTION NUMBER
DATE DUE
If you do not include your section number and the class due
number, you may not receive proper credit.
Answers, notes, and hints for the homework are published on our
web site. You should always check this, since sometimes we are
looking for the answer in a slightly different form than the book
asks. And sometimes the book’s answer is wrong!
Review Problems: On the Homework page of our web site, you will
find a list of review problems for each of the three unit exams.
There are 10 problems in each set, for a total of 30 problems. They
range in difficulty from moderate to challenge. You can choose to
complete and hand in any, some, all, or none of the review
problems. Turn your review problems in at the front of the exam
room just before you take your exam. Make sure your name and
section number are on the front sheet or you may not get credit.
The format for review problems is the same as for homework. Each
review problem is worth one point. These points are bonus points
that we will use to repair points that you lost on homework. In
addition, the same bonus points will be applied a second time to
repair points you lost on the activities, up to three points per
activity. (Activities that you totally missed don’t count.) We do
this to give you an incentive to study for the exams and to apply
the principles you are studying to problems similar to the problems
that will be on the exams. All bonus points count for the entire
semester no matter when you earned them.
Expectations: If you are registered to take Physics I at RPI,
then by definition you have the academic and intellectual
prerequisites to do well in the course. However, whether you
actually do well (or not) will depend on your diligence. Over the
years we have been teaching, we have discovered several common
problem areas that can hinder a student’s success in Physics I.
(This applies to your other RPI classes as well.) Here are some
words to the wise:
1. Come to class and participate. Physics I is an activity-based
course, meaning that we assume you will be doing most of your
learning while participating in the activities. If you are not in
class – both physically and mentally – you are missing most of the
learning. Some students get the notion that they can miss half or
more of the classes and still pull out a decent (or passing) grade
by doing really well on the exams. That does not work!
2. Do the homework. The homework problems were specifically
designed to reinforce the material that we covered in class. The
regular homework problems are straightforward examples of the
principles and methods we just learned in reading and classroom
work. The challenge problems in a homework set will make you think.
You will find that many exam questions are similar to homework
problems.
3. Get help early if you need it. The first two items above can
and should be done in collaboration with your fellow students. They
are your first source of quick help if you get stuck on something.
But if you are coming to class every day and making a good faith
attempt to do the homework, and you still aren’t “getting it,”
contact your TA, professor, or the course director as soon as
possible for extra help. Physics I builds as it goes, with later
concepts depending on earlier ones, so if you are weak on something
near the beginning of the semester, it will affect your success the
whole way through.
4. This isn’t high school. Most students at RPI had a decent
high school physics course. At first glance, the list of things we
study is similar to what you may have covered in high school
physics. However, we cover these topics faster, more rigorously,
and in greater depth. Our problems and exam questions tend to be
more complex and require better understanding of the underlying
principles than most high school physics problems. Simple methods
that may have worked for you in high school, using memorization
instead of understanding, will not suffice for Physics I. One
example is the old trick of finding an equation that contains all
of the parameters in the problem and using basic algebra to solve
for the one you don’t know. In Physics I at RPI, this trick works
only for the simplest homework problems and will not get you very
far on exams. Keep an open mind to learn the principles and methods
as we teach them in Physics I and you should do fine.
