San José State University Physics 51, Electricity and Magnetism, Section 2, Spring 2015 Course and Contact Information Instructor: Office Location: Telephone: Email: Office Hours: Class Days/Time: Classroom: Prerequisites: Peter Beyersdorf Sci 235 (408) 924-5236 [email protected] Tuesdays and Wednesdays 1-2 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:30-11:45 am Sci 253 Grade of C or higher in Physics 50 and Math 31 Faculty Web Page Course materials such as syllabus, handouts, notes, assignment instructions, etc. can be found online via the Canvas learning management system course website (https://sjsu.instructure.com/courses/1138840). You are responsible for regularly checking with the messaging system through Canvas to learn of any updates. Course Description A calculus-based treatment of electric charges and fields, magnetic fields, DC and AC circuits, electromagnetic radiation. Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. demonstrate critical thinking 2. use algebra, vectors and/or calculus to correctly solve Electricity and Magnetism problems 3. work with dimensionally consistent quantities and indicate appropriate units in written work 4. translate information between real world problems and the mathematical relationships that describe them 5. describe the solution to problems using clear logic and/or diagrams 6. demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between electric charges and current and electric and magnetic fields 7. correctly solve problems involving the behavior of simple electrical circuits Required Texts/Readings Textbook Young & Freedman “University Physics” Mastering Physics access code (for volume 14 of the text) Course Requirements, Assignments and Grading Policy SJSU classes are designed such that in order to be successful, it is expected that students will spend a minimum of forty-five hours for each unit of credit (normally three hours per unit per week), including preparing for class, Electricity and Magnetism, Physics 50, Spring 2015 Page 1 ! of 4 ! participating in course activities, completing assignments, and so on. More details about student workload can be found in University Policy S12-3 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S12-3.pdf. Weekly online homework will be assigned via Mastering Physics (www.masteringphysics.com instructor code BEYERSDORF2015). We will have in-class quizzes about once per week each on a different subject based on the homework. These quizzes are only available in class on the day they are given - there are no make-ups. Your grade on the quiz will be based on successfully demonstrating you’ve achieved the 7 learning outcomes shown above. Your class grade will come from your average score on your quizzes. Any extra credit points will be added (each point is worth 0.5%) and then your score will be adjusted based on your lab grade (see below). A score of 60-64 is a D-, 64-67 is a D, 67-70 is a D+, 70-73 is a C-, 73-77 is a C, 77-80 is a C+, 80-83 is a B-, 83-87 is a B, 87-90 is a B +, 90-93 is an A-, 93-97 is an A, 97 and up in an A+. At the end of the semester during the final exam period you will be able to retake the 3 quizzes that you got the lowest grades on (it will be different questions on the same subject) to replace your original scores. If your lab grade is in the top 1/3 your class grade will be bumped up by a maximum of 5%, if it is in the bottom 1/3 of the class it will be bumped down by a maximum of 5%. NOTE that University policy F69-24 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/F69-24.pdf states that “Students should attend all meetings of their classes, not only because they are responsible for material discussed therein, but because active participation is frequently essential to insure maximum benefit for all members of the class. Attendance per se shall not be used as a criterion for grading.” Classroom Protocol Place your personal electronics in quiet mode, and refrain from using them in the classroom for non-class related work. University Policies General Expectations, Rights and Responsibilities of the Student As members of the academic community, students accept both the rights and responsibilities incumbent upon all members of the institution. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with SJSU’s policies and practices pertaining to the procedures to follow if and when questions or concerns about a class arises. See University Policy S90–5 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S90-5.pdf. More detailed information on a variety of related topics is available in the SJSU catalog, at http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/catalog/ rec-12234.12506.html. In general, it is recommended that students begin by seeking clarification or discussing concerns with their instructor. If such conversation is not possible, or if it does not serve to address the issue, it is recommended that the student contact the Department Chair as a next step. Dropping and Adding Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drop, grade forgiveness, etc. Refer to the current semester’s Catalog Policies section at http://info.sjsu.edu/static/catalog/policies.html. Add/ drop deadlines can be found on the current academic year calendars document on the Academic Calendars Electricity and Magnetism, Physics 50, Spring 2015 Page 2 ! of 4 ! webpage at http://www.sjsu.edu/provost/services/academic_calendars/. The Late Drop Policy is available at http://www.sjsu.edu/aars/policies/latedrops/policy/. Students should be aware of the current deadlines and penalties for dropping classes. Information about the latest changes and news is available at the Advising Hub at http://www.sjsu.edu/ advising/. Academic integrity Your commitment, as a student, to learning is evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State University. The University Academic Integrity Policy S07-2 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S07-2.pdf requires you to be honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The Student Conduct and Ethical Development website is available at http://www.sjsu.edu/studentconduct/. Campus Policy in Compliance with the American Disabilities Act If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need to make special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours. Presidential Directive 97-03 at http://www.sjsu.edu/president/docs/directives/ PD_1997-03.pdf requires that students with disabilities requesting accommodations must register with the Accessible Education Center (AEC) at http://www.sjsu.edu/aec to establish a record of their disability.
