COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is a non-calculus-based introduction to the
principles of Electricity, Magnetism, Electromagnetic Waves,
AC and DC Circuits, Optics,
and Modern Physics. The course is very interesting and useful for students as
it addresses the
fundamental laws of
electricity, magnetism, modern physics and optics. I make this course useful
and understandable to you
by doing hands-on activities
and relate basic to most advanced technology. Please bear with me and follow
the rules as
outlined in the following
sections. Prerequisite for the course is Math 1340 but 4-year high school math
may be sufficient
for the course.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions during the lecture if something is not
clear. Come by during office hours for more
questions. For further help, you will be referred to tutoring center, in
case your grade falls below C grade.
NOTE: Homework assignments will be given at the end
of each section and are due every Monday and will
considered as part of your grade.
A. CLASS
ATTENDANCE:
1. Class attendance is mandatory according
to university rules and will be considered as part of your grade.
If you plan to be absent, inform me in
advance.
3. In case of an absence from the classroom, the student is responsible for the learning experience and missing
assignments made during his/her absence.
B.
GRADING POLICY:
grade will be dropped out of 4 exams but
not the final. No make-up exams will be
given. If you miss one exam it will
be dropped as your lowest exam
grade. Students who miss the final exam
will be given drop F from the course.
2. The final exam will be given at the scheduled time. Friday, August 18,11:45 a.m.– 1:30 p.m.
3. All 4 exams (3 exams + final) @80% and Lab @20%, Total
100%
C. SCALING OF GRADES:
A=90-100, B=80-89, C=70-79, D=60-69,
F=59 or less.
2. The instructor reserves the right to
lower the scale, on a class level, if he deems so appropriate.
Note: If a student ceases to attend class, the
student will receive a grade of
"F" on the grade report.

This course gives the students hand-on experience with selected
laboratory experiments designed to supplement the
lecture in
Physics 1402.
I. TEST
SCHEDULES:
Two 100-point tests will
be given in the semester. Test 1 will be over the first seven scheduled labs.
Test 2 will
either over the last
five scheduled labs or a comprehensive test over twelve scheduled labs,
depending upon
the student's
attendance.
II. ATTENDANCE:
1.
Each lab missed counts as an absence (excused and/or
unexcused). If you miss two Labs, you will be dropped
from the course. Must complete all the
Labs.
2.
Students that are not in their assigned groups during
the lab period will be counted absent from that lab,
unless the
reason is provided.
