Homework and Exams

The total homework scores will be scaled to a maximum of 250 points, based on your work in the on-line homework system, WebAssign. All homework is submitted within the WebAssign environment Do not disregard the importance of the homework part of your course grade. It has the same value as a midterm exam. With a few exceptions, there will be 4 homework assignments each week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Your final HW submission must be done no later than 7:30 a.m. on the due date. The purpose of the discussion section is to allow you to get all the assistance you need to help you submit finished and correct homework. Do not disregard the importance of the discussion part of the course. In general, students who attend discussion sections regularly, do better in the course. The actual assignments are accessed individually by each student when they enter the WebAssign website (https://www.webassign.net/utah/login.html). At the login menu enter your university ID (unid) and password.

You are allowed to bring to each midterm one (and only one) 3 × 5 file card with whatever information on it you wish in handwriting. You are allowed two (and only two) 3 × 5 cards for the final exam. Bringing or using any other material, except a hand calculator, is cheating. You need to know your TA's name at the exams. You need to bring a student picture ID to all exams. Any dispute over the grading of an exam must be brought to my attention BEFORE the next exam. The mechanism will be explained in class.

Grading

The final course grade will be determined by how many total points out of the maximum points you earn. As of the present moment, no course mean has been set. You can anticipate a course mean somewhere near a B as a traditional mean for this physics course.

Midterm Exams	500 points
Final Exam	250 points
Homework	150 points (scaled)
Total points	900 points
