Description

Syllabus PHYS 1147: Physics for Life Sciences 2 Course ID for masteringphysics.com :MPFOTOVATIAN4558343 Lecturer: Prof. Assad Fotovatian Office: Dana 004 (office hours will be held in www.zoom.us) Email: [email protected] Cell Phone : 978-729-1155 (Text only please) Lecture hours: Mon, Tue, Wed, and Thu 1:30 pm-3:10 pm Room: lectures will be held in zoom. Zoom meeting ID will be provided for each day. To receive a grade, you must be registered for: PHYS 1147 (lecture) PHYS 1148 (Introductory Physics Lab - IPL) Office hours: Mon, Wed, 4:00pm-6:00 pm (office hours will be held in zoom. Zoom meeting ID will be provided) Appointments will be scheduled for those students who cannot make the official hours Textbook: Physics Principles with Applications, 7th Edition, Douglas C. Giancoli, Pearson. A hardcover version of the text can be purchased at the NEU bookstore. An online e-text version of the text is also available for purchase at masteringphysics.com. Note that you do NOT need both the e-text and the hardcover text—you only need one. (The 6th Edition is also acceptable but please note that the homework problems are different than those listed here.) Course description and objectives: Physics for Life Sciences 2 is a one-semester algebra-based physics class in Waves, Electromagnetism, Geometrical Optics, and Optical Instruments, and Nuclear physics and Radioactivity. Students will investigate the principles of introductory physics in a guided inquiry environment through lectures, demonstrations, and problems. Upon completion of this course, the students should be prepared to demonstrate knowledge of the basic concepts and an ability to interpret and solve elementary problems in the areas of waves, electricity and magnetism, light, geometrical optics, and nuclear physics

Course organization: Lectures: Attendance to the lectures is not mandatory but strongly recommended. You are expected to read the text before coming to class. Reading assignments will usually be from the textbook following what is in the Syllabus, but they may be from handouts, or from pages on Blackboard. (Lectures will be given in zoom. Lecture videos along with the “notability” generated Pdf files will be posted on BB) Homework: Homework will be assigned online in www.masteringphysics.com. You will need to purchase access code in order to be able to access the homework. Access to masteringphysics without the ebook is $68.95 Access to masteringphysics including the ebook is $115.95. Access to masteringphysics plus paper book (loose leaf) is $216.95 if purchased from the NEU bookstore.

PHYS 1147/Summer 2 - 2020

Course ID for masteringphysics.com :MPFOTOVATIAN4558343 Quizzes: There will be quizzes twice a week. (see attached schedule). The lowest two quizzes will be dropped and will not count toward the final grade. There are no makeup quizzes, so a missed quiz scores zero and will be one of the two dropped quizzes. Examinations: There will be one midterm test during the session and a comprehensive final exam. The tentative date for the midterm test is July 27, during regular class time. The final exam will be on Monday, August 17. The schedules are subject to revision; the changes may be verbally announced in class. Students are responsible for information given in class, even if they are absent. Labs: The lab is a separate course (PHYS 1148) and you will get a letter grade for it depending on what you have done in the Lab reports. We will count your grade in the lab course as 15% of this course. This will help many of you considerably. Any question regarding the lab must be addressed to the lab instructors or the lab coordinator. Office Hours: It is strongly encouraged for students to attend office hours. Study sequence for a typical week In class: Monday: first lecture on the week’s topic Tuesday: second lecture (go over homework problems) & a quiz (on masteringphysics) Wednesday: third lecture on the week’s topic Thursday: fourth lecture (go over homework problems) & a quiz (on masteringphysics) At home: Monday-Thursday: finish week’s homework problems Thursday-Monday: finish assigned reading for the next week Grading : Grade distribution 15% Lab 15% Quizzes 15% Homework 25% Midterm Examination 30% Final Examination Final letter grade: Your course grade will be determined both by your overall score, calculated according to the above percentages, and by your score on exams, homework and weekly quizzes alone, weighted in the same proportion as above. The following table indicates ‘target’ overall score ranges corresponding to various course grades Score 94-100 90-94 85-90 80-85 75-80 70-75 65-70 60-65
