V. Required (Graded) Assignments: 15 -15 pt experiments, 3 -100 point tests, 1- 200 point final, daily Reading Quizzes, 100 points, daily Clicker Questions, 100 points, pre test - 30 pts, post test 45 pts . .

VI. EVALUATION:

Item	Discussion
Clicker Questions - 100 pts total Daily	Clicker questions cannot be made up. Clicker grade is a participation grade. Accuracy will earn possible bonus points. (Any score above 80% is bonus points.) That means, if you have a grade for every question, you get 100 pts. If you have a 92% accuracy, you get 12 bonus points.
15 -20 pt Experiments 300 pts total Monday's 1 - 3	Labs will be done in groups of my choosing. Data sheets and lab write-ups will be turned in individually. You must submit a copy of your data sheet prior to beginning lab. You should come with most of your lab write-up completed, except for values obtained in lab, analysis, DOA, and conclusion. You may turn in labs electronically, either on flash drives, or email. Lab experiment write-ups are due at the end of the lab period. None accepted late. You can do labs early, but not late.
On time (Reading) Quizzes 100 pts total Daily	On time (Reading) quizzes cannot be made up or turned in late. (That's why we call them on time quizzes.)
3 - 100 pt tests 9-9, 10-7, 11-4	No make up tests will be given. First missed test will be replaced by 1/2 of your final exam score, any other missed tests will receive 0. If 100 % of the class agrees to take tests on Wednesdays 7:30 - 9:15, you will have more time to take tests.
1-200 pt Final Exam Dec.16, 9 - 11	Final will be comprehensive.
50 points bonus Create a Science Team and visit a third grade class 5 times this semester, once every two weeks. You will receive 10 points for each visit. Visits must be during the dates specified (unless reschedduled by the third grade teacher) and cannot be made up.	Science Teams must submit an Activity report after each visit before the interval deadline. Interval 1- 9-7 to 9-26 Interval 2 - 9-26 to 10-16 Interval 3 - 10-12 to 10 - 30 Interval 4 - 11-1 to 11-18 Interval 5 - 11-16 to 12-9 You must submit pictures in electronic form for at least 3 of these visits. If you plan to do this, you must submit a Science Team Information Form by Monday, September 9, 2009

Note 1: Use of communication devices such as pagers, cell phones, walkie talkies, or whatever, is prohibited in this class. If one rings, buzzes, vibrates or distracts you or the class, you may be dismissed from the course.

Note 2: Playing games on computers in the physics lab may result in your being dismissed from this course.

GRADES:

The above total, excluding bonus points, is 1000 points and your accumulative total will be divided by that amount to calculate your final average.

891 - 1000 = A, 791 - 890 = B, 691 - 790 = C, 591 - 690 = D, 0 - 590 = F

NOTES:
l. You should keep all returned papers. You should also keep track of the ratio (your accumulative total)/(The accumulative total possible to date) as the semester progresses.

VII. TEXTBOOKS CURRENTLY BEING USED:

Physics for Scientists & Engineers by Serway & Jewitt 6th edition

Reality Physics Workbook, k.w.nicholson

VIII. Other Important Information:
1. Attendance: We no longer have the permission to drop students for lack of attendance.

2. If you decide to drop this course, you must do so formally before mid-term by going to student services in the Administration Building and filling out a drop form. If simply stop coming to class, you will receive an F in this course!

3. If you have a disability that may prevent you from meeting the course requirements, contact the instructor before the end of the first week of classes to file a student disability request and to discuss a reasonable plan. Course requirements will not be waived but accommodations may be made to assist you in meeting the requirements, provided you are timely in working with the instructor to develop a reasonable accommodation plan.
