Instructor: Prof. Gene D. Sprouse, Office C-109 in Grad
Physics Building, (631) 632-8118, gene.sprouse(at)sunysb.edu
Laboratory Teaching Assistant:
Jan Steinbrener, Physics D-123, (631) 632-8002, steinbre(at)grad.physics.sunysb.edu
Office Hours: Prof. Sprouse’s office hours are Tu 9-11am. Please feel free to come at these times or at
any other time that my door is open. If
you want to make an appointment at other times, please email me.
Lectures: MWF, 11:45AM-12:40AM, P-124. Attendance at the lecture is expected. Every student is responsible for knowing information - both physics and course related announcements - that is provided during lectures. It has been consistently true that students who attend lecture regularly perform better on examinations and enjoy the overall course experience more than those who do not.
Personal Response System: This semester we will be using the Personal Response System(PRS) in the lectures. You must purchase one of these devices(clickers) in the bookstore, then go to www.einstruction.com to register it and enroll in this course. On the web site, after choosing Stony Brook as your university, enter the serial number of your RF pad(found inside under the battery or on a sticker), and then join this class with key: G22825E728 Registration will cost $10 for the semester, or $35 for a lifetime subscription to all future classes. Bring the enabled clicker to the next class.
Recitation: The 141 recitation will be held from 2:20-3:15PM on Thursday afternoons in P-124. Since the 141 class has only one section, the ``recitation'' meeting time will be treated as a regular class session.
Laboratory: Most, but not every week, you will conduct a laboratory experiment in room A-117 of the Grad. Physics Building. The lab period will immediately follow the recitation, Th 3:20-5:20. The schedule for these labs is shown in the course summary table below. You should come to the lab equipped with the laboratory manual, a lab notebook which includes graph paper (such as the ``Engineering and Science'' notebook available in the campus bookstore), and a pocket calculator. The final laboratory week is ``make-up'' week during which you may perform any one laboratory experiment which was missed during an excused absence.
Laboratory Manual: The
laboratory manual is available here: Phy141 lab manual
(320kbytes) You should download it
and either save it or print it out all at once.
Textbook: University Physics, 11th Ed. Young and Freedman, 2003 Addison Wesley.
Mastering Physics: We will
use Mastering Physics, a web-based tutorial and homework system for this
course. If you purchase the textbook, access
codes for Mastering Physics are included in the purchase price of the
textbook. If you do not purchase the
textbook, then you must purchase the access codes separately ($40.00 for
access for three semesters) to enroll in
this course. Once you have the access
codes, go to: http://www.masteringphysics.com/ and click on the link for Young and Freedman,
11th edition. On the next
page, click on REGISTER, and use your access code and the course code: MPSPROUSE0007
Examinations: There will be two mid-term exams during the semester. These will occur during the normal recitation time and place on Thursday, October 12 and Thursday November 9. Absences from these exams will be excused by the course director only for certified illness or emergency. Make-up exams will be arranged only for those who are excused from the regular exams. There will be a 2.5-hour final exam on Monday, December 18 at 2pm. Information about the style of the examination and what is to be covered on each will be provided during scheduled lectures.
Final Course Grade: Your grade will be assigned by the course staff within course-wide guidelines. The guidelines will be established by assigning weights to various components of the course as follows:
|
Activity |
% |
|
Midterm I |
20 % |
|
Midterm II |
20 % |
|
Final exam |
25 % |
|
Laboratory |
15 % |
|
Homework |
15 % |
|
PRS, and PSS |
5% |
Exams will be graded by the instructor. If you believe that the grading of your exam needs reconsideration, bring the exam and a brief written statement of your grievance to the course instructor within one week after the exam is returned to you. The laboratory portion of the course is mandatory. If a student completes fewer than 6 of the 9 assigned laboratory experiments, the student will automatically receive a failing grade for the course. The Personal Response System(PRS) and the Problems Solving Sessions(PSS) will be used for a small part of the grade.
Physical or mental disabilities:
If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning disability
that may impact your course work, please contact Disability Support Services,
ECC (Educational Communications Center) Building, room 128, (631) 632-6748.
They will determine with you what accommodations
are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is
confidential. Students requiring
emergency evacuation are encouraged to discuss their needs with their
professors and Disability Support Services. For procedures and information, go
to the following web site. http://www.ehs.sunysb.edu/fire/disabilities/asp
If you are having trouble getting links and information
on this page, please contact Prof . Sprouse by email.
