Description

PHY 317L — General Physics II Meetings: MWF 10–11a in PAI 4.42! Unique #: 55390! Lecturer: José Alvarado! Office: TBA! Email: [email protected]! Office hours: TBA! Teaching Assistant: TBA! Email: TBA! Office Hours: TBA! Required Text: Essential University Physics, Volume 2, Third Edition, Richard Wolfson, Pearson Addison Wesley (2016). Older editions are ok.! Overview: This is the second part of a calculus-based technical physics sequence recommended primarily for premedical students and others in the biomedical sciences. The course covers optics, electricity and magnetism, and selected topics in modern physics.! Course Prerequisites: Physics 317K and 117M with a grade of at least C-.! Course Corequisite: Credit with a grade of at least C- or registration in Physics 117N. ! Homework: Eleven homework assignments will be given during the term. The two lowest homework scores will be dropped. There will be no credit given for late homework. Students are encouraged to work together on the homework. You must, however, submit your own work for credit. Homework is due on Fridays (dates given in the table below) and must be turned in before the start of the lecture (10a).! Exams: Two midterm exams will be given during the term. They will take place Wednesday February 27 and Wednesday April 10, 7-9p. Location: BEL 328. There will be a final examination, scheduled by the university. It will take place Saturday May 18, 2-5p. Location TBA. No makeup exams will be given. A makeup final examination may be given only in documented cases of illness or emergency. The exams are closed-book. A single 8 1/2” x 11” page of your notes and calculators may be used.!

Grading: The final score is determined as follows:! " 15" Homework! " 25" Midterm 1! " 25" Midterm 2! " 35" Final Exam! Course grades will be determined by assigning cutoff values which define the boundaries between letter grades. Cutoff values will not be determined according to a prescribed distribution— that is, the number of As, Bs, etc. will not be limited to a formula. This course uses +/- grades.! Final exam bonus: If a student’s final exam letter grade is higher than their course grade, the final exam letter grade replaces the course grade.! Discussion sections: There will be optional discussion sections held by the TA. Times and location TBA.! Quest: This course makes use of an online system, the web-based Quest content delivery and homework server system, maintained by the College of Natural Sciences. This homework service will require a $30 charge per student for its use, which goes toward the maintenance and operation of the resource.! Please go to http://quest.cns.utexas.edu/ to log in to the Quest system for this class. At some point during the second or third week, when you log into Quest, you will be asked to pay via credit card on a secure payment site. You have the option to wait up to 15 days to pay while still continuing to use Quest for your assignments. If you are taking more than one course using Quest, you will not be charged more than $60/ semester. Quest provides mandatory instructional material for this course, just as is your textbook, etc. For payment questions, email [email protected]. All course materials and course communication will be handled through Quest. Check for announcements at the top of your Quest page. Course materials may be found under the Course Resources link in the left column.! Extra Help: Extra TAs are available for coaching on the 5th floor of RLM. Check the bulletin board near the coaching tables for schedule. For-hire tutors are also available, please contact Kelly McCoy ([email protected]). You may also get help at the Drop-In Tutoring Center in Jester A315A (https://ugs.utexas.edu/slc/support/drop-in).! Special Accommodations: The University of Texas at Austin provides upon request appropriate academic accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. Accommodations may be requested from the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, Services for Students with Disabilities. Please contact Kelly McCoy ([email protected]) to arrange testing accommodations (e.g. extra time, a separate exam room).!
