Rationale
This course ( second
in a sequence of three) is appropriate for students who are considering a major
in engineering, mathematics, or the physical sciences and plan to transfer to a
4 year institution for a BS degree. It is also appropriate for any student who
wants to increase his/her knowledge of electricity and magnetism, kinetic
theory, thermodynamics, thermal energy and heat transfer by using calculus.

2. Calculator
B. Special notes:
(tentative)
Test 1 covers chapters 17,18,19,20
Test 2 covers
chapters 21,22,23,24
Test 3 covers
chapters 25,26,27,28,29
Final exam covers all Chapters
.
2. If the final exam grade is greater than
the lowest houry exam ,it
will be worth
50% and the lowest hourly exam will be
dropped.
(no make up tests will be given)
3. Lab work must be turned in on time.
C : EXAMINATIONS:
There will be 3 major exams given in advance during the semester. No
make-up exam will be given .
Absence from these exams will result in a zero grade. A comprehensive final will be administered
during final exam week. This is a requirement of the course..Exam
Questions will be asked from deductive reasoning from the material presented in
Class,Home Work and Reading assignment.
Students can bring a simple scientific calculator for the exams.
Cell Phones/Palm pilot or any other electronic devises of any kind will
not be allowed during the exams .
HOMEWORK:
Homework assignment
will consist of:
1 . Reading sections in the text
2. Answering questions
3. Problems
It is essential for students to do assignments on a daily basis. Selected problems will be discussed in the
class as time and demand permits. The
reading assignments are made in advance of the lectures that cover the reading
material. The lectures are designed to
reinforce the students reading not for the students to learn the entire course
from the lectures. It is extreamly important for the
students to carefully and perceptively read the assignments before the
lectures. Some elementary material that needs little explanation will be
assigned for reading and not covered in the class.
LABORATORY WORK:
Report should be done neatly. Late reports will not be graded.
PREPARATION AND
PREREQUISITES:
Students are required to have completed the appropriate prerequisits Math/Physics courses or their equivalent to be
enrolled in a course. Students who have
not completed the prerequisite courses are ineligible for enrollment in a
course and will not be given a final grade if they do not withdraw. Students should either be concurrently
enrolled in the required Math course or have completed it or an equivalent
course. Students are required to have a
working knowledge of the topics involved in the prerequisite courses
and all their prerequisites at least at the level of having passed
the courses at the B level. If the student feels insecure in his/her
depth of knowledge in these areas it is recommended that he/she immediately
undertake a brief but thorough review of these subjects in lectures, but the
student will be responsible for knowing the material. All the exam problems
will be similar to the homework assignments, the example problems in the book
or example problems worked out in the lectures.
C. Tentative test dates:
Test 1 ( 2 /26/2008)
Test 2 ( 4 /8/2008)
Test 3 ( 5 /8/2008)
Final Exam (
5/15/2008)
COLLEGE POLICIES FOR COURSE SYLLABI:
ESSEX CODE OF ACADEMIC
INTEGRITY
Academic honesty is
expected of all students. Work submitted
by students as their own must be their own and materials taken from any other
source must be clearly identified as such.
Falsification of data, plagiarism, copying from others in class,
obtaining advance information about exams, and other violations of academic
honesty are not acceptable. The usual
penalty for academic dishonesty is failure on the paper or exam or failure in
the course, as determined by the instructor.
The instructor may recommend a more severe penalty, such as dismissal
from a program or from the College.
The college
recognizes that clear, correct and concise use of language is a characteristic
of an educated person. Instructors
should consider the quality of writing in determining a grade for a written
assignment. In some instances, poor
writing can be a sufficient cause for a failing grade on a paper, and in
extreme cases, a failing grade in a course.
All students are
expected to attend class regularly and punctually in order to derive maximum
benefit from instruction and to contribute to learning in the classroom.
Each faculty member
will determine the specific attendance policy for each course and will monitor
attendance accordingly. At the faculty
member’s discretion, absence from class may be the basis for academic failure.
Students are encouraged to seek help from their instructors whenever
they encounter academic difficulty (either during scheduled office hours or by
appointment). In addition, the Student
Success Center in E312 has information about free tutoring provided. Stop by or call for more information
(410-780-690).
Should it become
necessary for the College to close or alter its times of operations,
announcements will be made after 6:30 a.m. on WBAL radio (1090 AM) or you can
call 410-682-6000. Should the College’s
opening be delayed, faculty and students are expected to be where they would
normally be at the announced opening time.
