FlipIt
Physics: Mechanics, AND FlipIt Physics: Electricity and
Magnetisem by Gary Gladding, et
al. INTERNET ACCESS IS REQUIRED
You will
need an access code to view prelectures, complete checkpoints, and do
homework. Most students also want to pay
for the paper versions of the books as well but this is not completely
necessary. At last check computer access codes cost $25 and the cost of the
books was additional. Note that only
access to online materials (and not ownership of a paper book) is required.
Most students find it useful to own the paper books as well, but some choose to
use only the online materials.
2.
Physics for
Scientists and Engineers, 6th edition, by Serway and Jewett, Available
to borrow!!!
Some
assignments will be taken from this book this quarter. The
physics department has copies available to borrow and you can find used copies
online for less than ten dollars. Your
teacher will make a few copies available to you and you can buy one for
yourself if you want one. Note that this
is NOT the current edition.
Supplemental Reading Material: Students
often request alternative reading material to supplement their general
texts. The textbook by Serway and Jewett
is recommended for supplemental reading.
The calculus-based physics text by Tipler parallels the content of
FlipItPhysics (but it costs more than Serway).
Course description (from GRC Catalog):
Study of classical wave
properties with applications to mechanical and electrical systems, sound,
electromagnetic waves, light, and atomic physics. PREREQUISITE: Eligible for
ENGL& 101 and a grade of 2.0 or higher in PHYS& 222 and MATH& 152
and at least concurrent enrollment in MATH& 153. Satisfies a lab or natural
science requirement. Formerly PHYS 203.
Methods of instruction:
Lecture and lab portions of
the class will occur in the same room. There will be no separately scheduled
lab periods. Lab exercises may require
entire class periods or they may begin or end during any class.
Online instruction through
FlipIt Physics is also required. FlipIt
Physics will provide introductions to most of the ideas covered in class as
well as homework problems. Sometimes students
will notice that FlipIt Physics asks them questions before corresponding
material has been covered in class. This is not an accident or a mistake. It is
part of the “just in time” teaching method employed by FlipIt Physics.
Campus-wide learning outcome: CRITICAL THINKING. This course focuses on the campus-wide
outcome of critical thinking. As
implemented in this class, critical thiking has many components:
1) Metacognition: Thinking about how you think. When
physicists come to conclusions about a
physical situation, it is important for the physicists to understand how they
reached that conclusion. A critical and even skeptical analysis of one’s own
reasoning process is required.
2) Deliberate
assessment: Honest
evaluation of what you think you know and how you know it. A physicist must be
able to produce a rational and (as much as possible) impartial assessment of
the truth and accuracy of a conclusion. It is better to recognize possible
sources of error than to have complete confidence in an idea that may be wrong.
3) Strategizing
for problem solving:
Creating a useful plan (or plans) for solving a particular problem.
Strategizing requires an understanding of
which lines of analysis are most reliable and which are most prone to
error.
Critical thinking and problem solving skills will be assessed using graded homework assignments, essays, quizzes, exams, laboratory exercises, and ungraded assessment tests.
Physics department program utcomes:
1. Use appropriate reasoning to evaluate problems, make decisions, and
formulate solutions.
2. Give reasons for
conclusions, assumptions, beliefs, and hypotheses.
Physics 221 Course Outcomes
1. Use appropriate reasoning to evaluate
problems, make decisions, and formulate solutions, using elements of calculus
and mathematical models to develop a comprehensive investigation of Newtonian
particle dynamics.
2. Give reasons for conclusions, assumptions,
beliefs, and hypotheses, using elements of calculus and mathematical models to
develop a comprehensive investigation of Newtonian particle dynamics.
REQUIRED COURSEWORK:
Grades: Most of the lab grade will come from
successful attendance and participation in lab exercises. Some lab work will be collected and graded,
and there will also be one lab “quiz” in which students will need to
demonstrate that they know how to use the equipment. (WARINING: If you allow your lab partners to
do all of the “hands-on” work during lab, you will not pass this quiz!)
Homework
(problem sets):
There will be roughly
20 problem sets from SmartPhysics assigned throughout the course of the
term. There will also be paper homework
assignments from other source (such as Serway and Jewett).
You are not required to do the homework
individually! In fact you are encouraged
to work together! You are not required to do the homework
individually! In fact you are encouraged
to work together! All FlipIt
Physics homework assignments will require the use of a computer either on this
campus or at home. Students will receive
full credit for assignments completed on time.
Homework may be turned in up to 48 hours late for 80% credit.
Exams:
There will be four or five quizzes given throughout
the term. Each classroom quiz will
contain one long or several short questions, intended to be easily finished in
45 minutes, however take-home quizzes may also be given and these will in
general be longer and more involved.
There
will be one midterm exam. It will take
roughly 90 minutes. Exams may involve
assigned seating (which would not be announced until the time of the exam).
The midterm exam is planned for February 13th
(this is subject to change).
The final exam for this
course will be held at the time below.
This date cannot be changed.

Participation points:
Participation counts for 10% of the total points awarded in class. Participation
points are awarded for regular participation in class (which requires you to be
present during class), for completion of prelecturs and checkpoints within
FlipIt Physics, and completion of additional “participation exercises” which
will be explained by your instructor.
Lack of attendance can result in a loss of
participation points for this class. There
is also overwhelming evidence that physics students (strong ones and weak ones)
learn more when they teach themselves and teach each other. You are expected to answer questions in
class, speak to each other during class discussion times, and work together
cooperatively during lab times. THE LANGUAGE OF PARTICIPATION IN THIS CLASS IS
ENGLISH! Students should expect to lose
some or all of their participation points if they insist on relying on other
languages. Feel free to ask for help with English or to use dictionaries and
translators during class time.
As with collaboration, you may not use dictionaries and translators during
quizzes or exams.
Completion
of pre-lectures and checkpoints from FlipIt Physics will contribute to your
participation grade for this class. These will be due at the date and time
posted on the FlipItPhysics website for each assignment.
Extra Credit Projects:
There will be NO EXTRA CREDIT PROJECTS THIS
TERM!!! None will be
accepted. Don’t ask. Students who have extra time that could be
devoted to an extra credit project should devote that time to learning the
material in the course. With all of the
books and teaching materials available, there should be a mode of learning that
suits every student. Take advantage of
it and concentrate on learning the basics rather than spending time on
additional subjects
Grades for this class will be
computed numerically based on the fraction of a total of 100 possible
points. Grades will be awarded for the
following six components, with the indicated points for each:
|
Course component: |
Fraction of grade: |

(These point totals are
subject to change if the instructor believes it would benefit the class.)
So how many points do I need to get an
A? To pass?
Numerical grades will be
computed based on the following mathematical formula:
Take your total number of points. Subtract 56 points. Divide by ten.

Students are strongly
encouraged to keep track of their own progress in this class. Relevant grades will be posted on Angel as
soon as they are available. Due to the
vagaries of how averages are computed, the final grade you receive may not be exactly the same one that is predicted by Angel or the one you
calculate for your self.
A grade of “I” will only be given in emergency situations
and only if at least 75% of the work is completed satisfactorily. Note
that a grade of “I” cannot be given simply to save a grade point average! There must be a REASON for requesting an
incomplete.
A grade of “P” or “NC” can
only be given if requested in writing at the registrar’s office before the
deadline printed in the quarterly schedule. Students should know that
completion of a course with a grade of “P” is usually not considered completion of a prerequisite for another class.
Students are NOT obligated to tell their instructors when a course is
being taken for a P or NC grade!
Safety:
The safety of students and
staff is of paramount importance to GRCC.
Experiments and assignments in this course are not extremely dangerous
but there will be scientific equipment all around us and some experiments
involve objects moving with some speed. Reasonable precautions must be taken.
The big picture:
Follow directions and don’t do anything foolish. If you aren’t
sure about a safe method to perform a laboratory task, ask your
instructor. If you believe someone else
is behaving in a way that threatens your safety, politely speak up right
away. Communication is central to
safety.
Wear eye protection when appropriate. In labs which
involve the risk of objects flying through the air, some form of safety
glasses or goggles must be worn. Students can use eye protection owned by
the college or they may bring their own if they object to wearing shared
equipment. If a student does not have
personal eye protection when it is needed for a lab exercise, that student must
borrow eye protection from the college or forfeit the exercise.
Failure to follow safety procedures may result in a
lowering of the course grade or expulsion from the class (with a failing
grade). Following instructions and
using common sense will be enough to prevent this from happening. For the safety of all concerned, students
MUST be able to follow spoken instructions in ordinary English.
Late homework, exams, etc.:
Exams and quizzes cannot be made up except in extraordinary circumstances. If a student knows that a forthcoming exam
will compete with an urgent scheduling conflict, the student must notify the
instructor in advance! In some cases it might be possible to make
special arrangements for that student.
Homework: Students will recieve 80% credit for
homework assignments completed within 48 hours of the due time. Students will receive 50% credit for homework
turned in within a week of the due time (but don’t do this unless you have
to – it does serious damage to your grade!).
Prelectures, checkpoints, and
FlipIt Phyiscs lectures: Students will receive 80% credit for pre-lectures,
lectures, and checkpoints completed up to 24 hours after the due time.
Laboratory work: Due to the nature of laboratory
work, it will often be impossible to make up a late laboratory. Again, students who know of their inability
to attend a specific lab should tell the instructor in advance.
No late written work will be
accepted during (or after) the last two weeks of the school term. No late electronic work will be accepted
after the final exam.
“Guests” in the classroom:
Students
seeking to visit the class must obtain instructor permission. Due to GRCC
policy, any one who is not registered for the GRCC class or an employee of GRCC
may be prohibitied from attending the class during lecture or laboratory
periods. This includes children,
friends, visiting students, and prospective students. Exceptions will be made in the cases of
students who require the assistance of others for the completion of essential
classroom tasks or for students who are registered for another section of
Physics but have made arrangements with their teachers to attend at a special
time.
Physics
students are encouraged to make use of tutoring services should they find the
need for outside help. GRCC employs
physics tutors in the Tutoring and Help Center.
Physics help may be found in the tutoring center on the second floor of
the Holman Library. Students who have
trouble with the mathematics associated with their physics work may find
additional help in the Math Learning Center (wherever that is).
Again,
you are strongly encouraged to use your classmates as sources of outside
help. There is ample evidence that talking to your classmates is the best
source of clarification and understanding because it will force YOU to think
through your own difficulties, often removing confusion and solving problems at
the same time! When all else fails,
remain calm, sit back, and THINK!
Official class breaks are
required for all class periods of length two hours or longer. For class meetings that are between one and
two hours long, class breaks are optional, and
official class breaks will usually not be scheduled!
However, if you need to leave
the classroom, stretch, take a break, please do so. This is much better than falling asleep
during class and disturbing your neighbors with an annoying “thud” when your
head hits the table. Try to take your
breaks in a manner that disturbs your colleagues as little as possible.
You should know that GRCC
policy officially prohibits the answering of pagers and cellular phones during
class periods. Although your instructor
understands that emergencies may occasionally arise when sick family members or
other crises are concerned, a repeated pattern of classroom interruption by
electronic gadgets will be considered grounds for discipline.
Accommodations
for Religion/Conscience
Students who will be absent from course activities
due to reasons of faith or conscience may seek reasonable accommodations so
that grades are not impacted. Such requests must be made within the first two
weeks of the course and should follow the procedures listed under Student
Procedures on the College Holiday and Leave Policy website.
https://www.greenriver.edu/campus/policies-and-procedures/student-affairs-policies/sa-91-college-holiday-leave-policy/. Please note that requests must be made to the
office of the Vice President of Student Affairs in addition to your instructor.
Accommodation for
disabilities
Green River College is
committed to providing access to all who visit, work and study on campus. The
College will provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with
disabilities, with advance notice of need. If you require accommodations,
please contact Disability Support Services as soon as possible to determine
eligibility and/or request accommodations.
Accommodations are determined
on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Disability Support by email at
dss@greenriver.edu; by phone at 253-833-9111, ext. 2631; TTY 253-288-3359; or
in person at the Student Affairs and Success Center, Room 210, to request
accommodations. For additional information, please visit www.greenriver.edu/dss.
The accommodations authorized
on your forms should be discussed with your instructor. All discussions will
remain confidential. Accommodations are not provided retroactively, so it is
essential to discuss your needs at the beginning of the quarter. Additionally,
only accommodations approved by Disability Support Services will be provided.
This syllabus is available in alternate formats upon request.
Accommodation
for other obligations
Please contact your instructor if your attendance or
performance of activities might be prevented by military service, high school
completion, or other obligations. While it is impossible for GRC to create
policies that address every possibility, accommodations may sometimes be made
on a case by case basis.
Reporting of
criminal activity, abuse and/or neglect
You
should be aware that GRC faculty and staff may report evidence of criminal
activity to appropriate law enforcement officials.
GRC
staff and faculty are mandatory
reporters of child abuse and neglect and must report suspected abuse or neglect
to the proper authorities.
Complaints against
faculty or others at GRC:
If
necessary, students at GRC are entitled to file complaints in accordance with
the GRC student complaint process. For
details, please see
https://www.greenriver.edu/students/academics/instruction-student-complaint-process/
Code of
conduct:
All students at GRC are subject to the GRC Student Code of Conduct.
Please see https://www.greenriver.edu/students/judicial-programs/ for details.
Accessibility:
Green
River College is committed to creating a positive, accessible environment for
its students, employees, and visitors. The College continues to increase the
accessibility and usability of all college resources to meet the needs of its
diverse community.
Academic Honesty:
Two
types of academic dishonesty are plagiarism and cheating.
Cheating: Cheating
(such as collaborating on quizzes or exams) can cause a wide range of
disciplinary actions. As a minimum,
students who are caught cheating on an assignment will receive a zero on the
assignment. Students caught cheating on a quiz or exam will fail the course.
Further discipline can range from loss of points for one section of the class
to failure of the class and probation or expulsion from GRCC. Many of students cheat and most of them do
not get caught. However, those that do
are in universal agreement: cheating is not worth the risk.
Please keep in mind that you
are in college to learn, and if you are cheating you ultimately only cheat
yourself out of learning and skills that you would otherwise get from this
class. You don’t need to cheat to pass
the class. Don’t do it.
Important note:
In this class, collaborating on homework is not cheating! It is encouraged to the point that it is all-but required. If you
have any opportunity to collaborate with others on homework, please do. Forming
study groups is a great idea. Use of resources such as Canvas to organize such
groups is strongly encouraged. If you are not collaborating with others on
homework, you should be prepared to give your instructor a pretty good
explanation as to why not.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism occurs when you submit someone else’s ideas
or words as your own. Cutting and/or copying and then pasting items from the
internet, like Wikipedia, into your work are examples of plagiarism. You should
know that in any course which requires written work, assumed to be created by a
student, plagiarism is a serious offense. You should not turn in any material
in this class or any other which has been borrowed or copied from elsewhere.
Since there is little reported written work associated with this class,
plagiarism is not usually a problem in Physics 222, but if you have questions
about the use of resources, please ask your teacher. There will not be penalties for asking
questions!
Discipline:
If anything happens in class
that you feel might require disciplinary action, please talk about it! Talk
to each other. Talk to your teacher. We will all be better off if we can settle
differences without official disciplinary procedures. This section of the
syllabus is about what happens if that fails.
Standard Procedure: You should be aware that the standard course of discipline at GRCC
begins with a student’s expulsion from the classroom for three class periods. If
those class periods include exams, quizzes, or other assignments then the
student will receive a score of zero
on those assignments.
The law: You
should also know that due to changes in the law, students may be legally liable in a court of law for words
or actions that might create an atmosphere viewed as hostile by other students.
Disruptions:
In accordance with GRCC policy, students who disrupt the academic atmosphere of
the class will be asked to leave and will be referred to an academic dean for
further action. Disruptions of academic
atmosphere include any behavior that interferes with the ability of faculty or
other students to perform the work necessary for this class.
Inappropriate discussion: Discussions
in the classroom should concern matters relevant to the class or topics of
general interest that are not demeaning or insulting. Courts have ruled that explicitly sexual
discussions lead to an academically hostile atmosphere (see paragraph beginning
with “The law”, above). Comments,
discussions, or actions of a racist, sexist, or otherwise degrading nature will
absolutely not be tolerated. Be careful about your use of words such as gay,
black, white, etc. Again, if you feel there are inappropriate discussions
in our out of class, please talk to each
other.
Cell phones: GRCC policy is that all cell phones must be
turned off during class. Your teacher recognizes that emergencies do happen. If
you feel you need to answer your cell phone during class, please leave the room
quietly and take the call outside. You do not need to ask permission, just try
not to disturb your fellow students. Exception: During an exam or quiz you will
FAIL if the instructor sees your cell phone.
Computers: Unauthorized
use of computers, tablets, or other electronic devices is prohibited during
class. Students may request special exceptions, but in cases other than those
noted below these requests will be denied.
A large amount of research has
demonstrated that the use of computers during class, even if it is done for
purposes of taking notes, actually diminishes student learning. This is not because the students involved
were technologically incompetent or goofing around on the Internet. Some of
these studies have been done in science and engineering classes at MIT and
Stanford. The people involved were excellent students and very proficient at
using technology. The students invariably did worse when when they used
electronics as a “learning tool” than when they did not.
Worse, the same research has
shown that not only do the students using computers and tablets do worse in
class but students sitting near those students
also do worse. You do not have the
right to diminish the learning of students sitting around you. For this reason
the unauthorized use of computers in class is prohibited.
The computers in the classroom
are to be used only for academic purposes. Students may use them to check
schedules or register for classes only
during class breaks. While class is
in session they should be used only for physics (absolutely no games!).
Violation of this policy will result in expulsion from the class for three days.
An excetion to this rule will
be granted to students who have registration appointments during class. If that
is the case, please let your instructor know before class begins and
arrangements will be made.
Students who have well documented medical needs for electronic assistance
should contact the instructor. Documentation will be checked.
If you
have already documented a disability or other condition which would qualify you
for special accommodations, or if you have emergency medical information or
special needs I should know about, please notify me during the first week of
class. You can reach me by phone at
833-9111, extension 4248. Or, you can
schedule an office appointment to meet me in the Marv Nelson SC Building,
office number 114 during my posted office hours or at another mutually
determined time. If this location is not
convenient for you, we will schedule an alternative place for the meeting. If you use an alternative medium for
communicating, let me know well in advance of the meeting (at least one week)
so that appropriate accommodations can be arranged.
Green
River College is committed to providing equal access to education for all
students. Students who have a disability or believe they may have a disability
are invited to contact Disability Support Services as soon as possible to
determine eligibility and/or request accommodations.
Accommodations
are determined on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Disability Support by email (dss@greenriver.edu); by phone
