Chapter references are to Physics by James S. Walker, Third Edition (Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007, 2004, 2002). The final exam will count as two tests. There will be homework assignments through the webassign system, and quizzes during the Discussion Sections. The quiz grades will be averaged after dropping the lowest score. The averaged homework and quiz grades will count together as one test, on a 50%-50% basis. The lowest of the six test-equivalent scores (counting 20% equally) will be dropped. Attendance may affect your final grade in "boundary" cases. Students are responsible for signing the attendance sheet when it is circulated.
