4. 10/24/2015J. M. Sebeson PHYS-216 with Lab zThis course is introductory college physics without calculus. zCovers basic classical Newtonian mechanics (motion, forces, energy, momentum). z Laboratory activities include experiments and computer simulations to illustrate the main topics. z In addition to learning basic physics, the course is intended to develop skills in problem solving and quantitative reasoning.

Sebeson Other Important Information zReading and homework assignments will be posted on the Course Resources Page. zQuiz and test schedules will be included in the assignment list on the Web Page. zNo work is dropped. zGrades will be posted in the eCollege gradebook. zWatch your email for any course announcements.

10. 10/24/2015J. M. Sebeson Tips and Tricks for this Course zRemember that quizzes and tests are 60 percent of your grade (quizzes 30% and final 30%). zIt pays to do the homework and turn it in on time! Homework and labs are “easy” grades. zThe best way to learn physics is to work as many problems as you can. zDon’t blow off labs; late labs don’t count and no labs are “dropped.” zKeep class handouts; these are basically lecture notes and all quizzes and tests are based upon them. Make sure you understand them.
