  1. Welcome to Physics 1120 General Physics II

  2. What’s the Point? • Physics is basic • Physics explains things • Physics is the secrets of the universe

  3. What’s this about? • Electricity and Magnetism: • Static charges • Circuits • How electrons carry energy • How motors and generators work

  4. First Last Your Name Who are You? • Please clearly write your first and last name on the tent card • Please bring your tent card to every class

  5. Group Work Introduce yourself to your group. Identify something memorable about yourself your home town your family your name or anything else associated with you Tell your group and write it down. Then tell everyone.

  7. Standards-based grading Scored on standards, not points The more standards you meet, the higher your final grade

  8. Meeting the Standards Last assessment matters Don’t blow off early assessments: learn! If lots of folks miss a standard, I’ll re-quiz If you personally miss a standard: Work some more problems See me for a re-assessment I want you to succeed.

  9. Quizzes In class May be announced or unannounced Assess on standards (no numeric score)

  10. Scores on Standards N Not assessed I Not eligible for reassessment E Eligible for reassessment P Progressing S Satisfactory • S is the only score satisfying a standard • Other scores tell what needs to happen

  11. Textbook • Textbook; Serway and Vuille, College Physics, 9th Edition • Lab manual: course pack

  12. Lab Physical Science building room 129 (southwest room of north hallway) Labs begin Wednesday Hours: TWR 1:10–3:00 TA: • Subash Kattel

  13. Absence Policy • Contact me beforehand if foreseen • Contact me ASAP for emergencies • Arrange make-up upon return • No make-up or re-take for items missed without approval • Labs pro-rated if make-up impractical
