Physics 220 - Principles of Physics 3

Spring Semester 2008


Instructor: Cheryl Davis
Section 1: MWF 8:00 to 10:00, 215 ESC
Office Hours: MWF after class and by appointment N313 ESC
Phone: 429-9658
e-mail: Cheryl_davis@byu.edu

Course content: Physics 220 is designed to introduce you to the core concepts of electricity and magnetism and to help you
develop sufficient physical intuition and quantitative experience to apply these concepts to simple problems relevant to modern
science and technology. You are expected to finish the course better informed about the inner workings of the world around
you and better able to make decisions that depend on that information. Coupled with faith and motivation, a familiarity with
the foundations of electricity and magnetism will help to prepare you for a successful career and meaningful service.

Text: Serway and ?, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 5th,6th or 7 th edition, volume 2.
Packet: Available in the Bookstore. This contains the labs, What does it mean to Integrate? by Ross Spencer, Study Guide,
Formulas and Chapter Summaries by Ross Spencer, sample exams, homework problems.
Clicker: You should buy a clicker from the bookstore. We will use it daily in class. You will need to register at
http://gardner.byu.edu/220w/quizid.html or the link on blackboard.

Course ID Numbers (CID#): You will need a CID number. For most of you it will have been e-mailed to you. You will use
this to identify yourself for Homework, Labs, quizzes, and exams, etc. If you did not get one by e-mail you will need to
generate one at http://gardner.byu.edu/cid/ or by following the link on blackboard.

Math Preparation: Mathematics is the language of Physics and is required for quantitative understanding and prediction of
the world around us. Math 112 and 113 or equivalent is required for this course. Aspects of math 214 and 343 are discussed
in class but these courses are not required. You will need a simple scientific calculator that can at least do trigonometric
functions. Graphing calculators can be helpful but are not required. Calculators in this class should not be used as a substitute
for knowing how to do it your self (showing your work is required on written quizzes and exams).

Time: This is a time intensive class. Please plan on it requiring at least 20 hours per week. Time spent to really learn and
understand the fundamental concepts, problem solving approaches, and integration of math into your thought processes will
make everything else you do in your chosen field of study much easier. The concepts in Physics 220 are cumulative, even more
so than in other science classes. Don’t let yourself fall behind.

Course format: The course will consist of: lectures, warm-ups, quizzes, written quizzes, homework, Study Guide, labs, and
exams.
Lecture: While our weekly classroom time is called lecture, I have no intention of lecturing. We will use this time to
clarify concepts from the reading, do demonstrations, and work problems.
Warm-up: These are simple pre-class assignments consisting of simple questions based upon the assigned reading. They
are available on blackboard and will need to be completed by 8 am before class (This means do them the night before). I will
look at responses before class and then respond to them in class. They will be graded on the basis of reasonable effort. Three
will be dropped before calculating grades.
Quizzes: What the score system calls quizzes is the scores from the clickers. We will use the clickers nearly every day.
This gives me feedback in class on what you are thinking and understanding.
Homework: Homework will be turned in “online”, follow the link on blackboard or go directly to
http://gardner.byu.edu/220w/homework.html. Please look at the “submission tips” link in the course materials section of
blackboard for a more information. The homework assignments are in your packet and on blackboard as a single pdf
document. The written questions will have one or more blanks with a number next to it. You will have a personal set of data
for each of those blanks (link above and download your personal data sheet). There will also be a link on blackboard for where
to submit answers (same as above). Everyone will have different numerical answers. Numerical answers will fall within the
range indicated at the end the homework question. Some are quite long; do not wait until the last minute to work on them.
When you submit homework, you will be told if it was correct or not. For incorrect answers you will (in most cases) be told
the correct answer and given a new set of data for that problem. You can then resubmit a new answer. Homework can be
submitted a total of three and only three times. Do not resubmit answers you have already gotten correct, leave those spots
blank. After the due date it is late and worth 1/4 of the points. Three late assignments will be forgiven and counted as on time.
Several homework problems will be neatly written out and handed in during class (assignments with written portions are
marked with an * on the calendar).
Study Guide: Study Guide (SG) units walk you step by step through representative homework and exam problems. Work
through the study guides frame by frame. Cover up the solutions as you work the problems, and correct yourself as you go.
While you do not submit SG answers online, you are expected to report if you completed the study guide assignment as part of
your black board warm up.
Labs: Each week there will be a “walk in” lab that will need to be done. The equipment will be set up in room S415 ESC
and will be available any time the building is open. Most labs will be available for a 1 week period, beginning on Saturday
morning and ending on Friday night and are due by 9:00 pm on Friday night. There are exceptions to this so please check the
schedule. Hand in the write up in the slots just inside the door of the lab room according to the first digit of your CID number.
Exams: There will the five midterm exams and one final. All will be in the testing center. Two hours is the average time
spent per exam. You may use your copy of Formulas and Chapter Summaries, a scientific calculator (no PDA), and scratch
paper. It is common for several of the exam problems to come right out of the sample exams in the packet. Each exam will
include problems requiring calculus. I will hand back the midterms in class the day after the exam closes. At this time we will
discuss the exam together. At the end of class that day I will take written requests for appeals. This is the only time I will
accept appeal requests. Check the calendar and put exam dates on your schedule now! Exam 1 is a math review test and
carries only half the weight that the other midterms.

Scores and Appeals: http://www.physics.byu.edu/Courses/Grades.aspx is the link where you can check your scores.
Experience has shown that while we do quite well at recording scores correctly we are not perfect. You will save us both some
potential pain if you check your scores regularly and follow up on any problems. Appeals are best handled by writing a short
note explaining the problem and giving it to your instructor. Grading appeals are time sensitive and my willingness to give
them serious consideration rapidly drops with time.

Tutorial Lab: Teaching Assistants are available to help answer physics related questions in the Tutorial Laboratory (N304
ESC). The room is open when ever the building is open but it staffed only during certain hours. Please check the posted
schedule (it can be found online). The tutorial lab is not a study hall. You will get the most out of the TAs help if you have
worked on the problems before coming and getting help.

Collaboration: You are encouraged to form study groups. However, there are a few cautions. The person that learns the most
is usually the one doing the explaining. If you find that you are always on the receiving end of an explanation, you should
either assert yourself more or find another group. Working together to understand is encouraged. However, any work you
submit should be your own. Exams are not collaborative and you must be able to do that work independently.

Conflicts: Please contact your instructor as soon as you know about any circumstances that will keep you from meeting the
class schedule. As soon as possible is best. We can work around many difficulties.

Grades: The following weighting of points will be used. The anticipated grade breakdown from those points is also shown.
