Catalog Description: PHYS 151/151L (4 credits)Algebra-based investigation of vectors, rectilinear and plane motion, particle dynamics, work and energy, linear momentum, rotational mechanics, torque, gravitation, fluids, elastic waves, sound and thermodynamics. Weekly labs provide insight into material covered.

Course Description and Objectives:Physics 151 is a comprehensive 4 Credit algebra based first semester physics course. The topics to be covered will include measurements and conversions, vectors, rectilinear and plane motion, particle dynamics, work and energy, linear momentum, rotational mechanics, torque, gravitation, fluids, elastic waves, sound and thermodynamics.

We will perform virtual laboratory experiments to demonstrate the concepts covered above. All labs will be on-line presentations that you can download at your computer. These will consist of a short video taken of an actual lab being performed by the instructor or a student. These files may be downloaded on one’s home computer and saved and reviewed again and again to insure that the procedure and instructions are understood. The student will utilize the

measurement information taken during the lab demonstration which will be attached as a file along with the video section. The student will perform diligent analysis of the data yielding a detailed conclusion. In a video lab, the student can be more focused to the experiment than operating in an actual lab. Here, no time is wasted by setting up apparatus in incorrect configurations. Taking erroneous data (as happens many times in real experiments) is eliminated. By placing the virtual lab’s data information on-line, a comprehensive laboratory report with proper conclusions may be generated. Lab reports are a moderate percentage of your grade. The primary objective of this course is for students to be able to solve complicated multi-step problems involving physical phenomena using algebra, trigonometry, and geometry based mathematics. Passing this course will qualify individuals to move on to General Physics 2 (PHYSICS 152).

You will generate a Power Point presentation about a famous physicist as part of your grade – it will be shared on-line with your fellow students.

We will also have available short videos on how to solve selected chapter problems.

Expected Course Outcomes (Objectives) and Measurements:Listed below are the expected learner outcomes of the course, and the methods that will be used to measure students’ success in achieving these outcomes.

16. Organize and clearly present data, draw and use graphs (using a All Lab Reports spreadsheet program such as Excel), apply basic statistics to evaluate laboratory data, and produce lab reports which are clear, concise and accurately assess the results of the experiment with emphasis on safety.

Self Assessment of Course.Upon completion of the course, students should meet the above listed expectations. An assessment of these goals will be measured at the end of the semester by specific problems dealing with each item occurring on the FINAL EXAM. From this data an analysis is performed by the instructor to determine the level of learning by the students for each listed outcome. This will be used as feedback to assess the teaching methods utilized in this course for that particular outcome. Historically, it has been the practice to devote more time to the two outcomes that show the lowest level of success – as determined from Final Exam measurements.

Method of Instruction:It is expected that the student will read and learn the required material in the proper time frame. Since we have so much to cover in one semester will cover one chapter per week from our textbook. This means you must complete the homework assignments and take the weekly quiz (starting at the end of the third week) and do so EVERY week of the course. You should check the schedule listed in the back of this syllabus. All assignments are due Sunday night by 11:55 PM. At the beginning of our course Announcements will be made so that you can follow the pattern of work. There will be:

1. Weekly Homework2. A Weekly Quiz 3.. Weekly Lab reports 4. A Presentation on a famous scientist that you share with you fellow students. 5. Proctored Midterm exam6. Proctored FINAL Exam

As mentioned above, we will start and complete a new chapter every week. It is your responsibility to check the schedule (attached to this syllabus) to see what we will be covering. For example, for the first week of class we will cover Chapter 1 from our textbook. This means HW1 will be due by the upcoming Sunday night. There will be Homework and a weekly quiz on each chapter as we go through the course. The weekly quiz will start at the end of the third week.

You should print out the schedule and constantly refer to it so you do not miss a deadline to turn material in. Do not wait until the last minute. The deadlines for this course are immutable.

Homework: (Measurement 15% of your grade)Starting with the first week, weekly homework assignments will be given with the Pearson On-line system. There are important rules governing this aspect of the course:

1. Homework will be ten problems from each Chapter being covered that week. You will use Pearson On-line System to answer the questions. Since you have a week to complete the homework, and it is an open-book environment, no partial credit can be given. You answer the questions using your computer. You must have the required user name and passwords that you will get when you sign up with the Pearson system.

You can easily find the Pearson Online system by typing on Google the words: Pearson

(homework continued)

You must have the required user name and passwords that you will get when you sign up with the Pearson system. You must buy an access code to be able to sign up with Pearson.

Everyone must be able to use the Pearson On-line system. There are no exceptions to this rule. Do not bring me the homework, do not fax it in, do not email it to me directly, do not turn it in to my mailbox.

When you see a listing called: MyLab & Mastering | Pearson that is the one to select although there are other sites that will bring you to the same location.

Here is a link: http://www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/northamerica/

You will be asked to sign in with your Pearson Account and Password.

2. Your homework is found in the Pearson system. Once you log into Pearson you will see PHYSICS151 course that you are taking. From this you can find the assignments) for the week.

3. Homework must be turned in by the cutoff time. It cannot be late. The cutoff time is always every week at Sunday Night 11:55 PM (including holidays).

4. Since Pearson grades the homework automatically, if you do not use the Pearson system to turn it in you will not get any credit for your homework.

5. You will be able to see your homework grade on Monday using the Pearson system.

6. A published list of your Homework grade will be uploaded in WebCampus and posted in the Lundberg Hallway outside of the physics/geology classroom. The list will show your grade in comparison with other students in the class. Due to the idiotic FERPA Act of 1974 (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), GBC cannot post your grades and name together so an impractical code system is used. You will be given a codename the

(homework continued)

first few days of class. This asinine directive by the US Government unfortunately takes away desire to strive for success.

7. With the Pearson system you have the ability to open the homework, close it and open it again. You can do this multiple

times. You do not need to leave it open on your computer. However, once you officially submit your homework on your computer, it is gone, it cannot be re-submitted.

8. Homework problems will be multiple choice format. Homework questions will be selected from a database on a random basis. In other words, the questions on your homework assignment may be different from those of the next student.

9. The rules about missing a homework assignment are explained further on in the syllabus.

One site for the Pearson system is:

www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/

Everyone must be able to use the Pearson On-line system. There are no exceptions to this rule. Do not bring me the homework, do not fax it in, do not email it to me directly, do not turn it in to my mailbox.

Weekly Quiz: (Measurement 15% of your grade) A Weekly quiz will be given on each chapter covered. There are important rules governing this aspect of the course:

1. The weekly quiz will be five questions of increasing hardness from the chapter we covered two weeks prior. You will take the quiz on your computer using the Pearson system,. Since the weekly quiz is open-book and open notes, no partial credit can be given. Every weekly quiz has a 120 minute time limit. Once you begin your quiz you must finish it at one sitting. The weekly quiz will usually be available to take by Friday evening. You must have taken and submitted your weekly quiz by Sunday evening, 11:55 PM.

2. You will be able to see your quiz grade on Monday using the Pearson system.

3. A published list of your quiz grades will be uploaded in WebCampus and posted in the Lundberg Hallway outside of the physics/geology classroom. The list will show your grade in comparison with other students in the class. Again, due to the idiotic FERPA Act of 1974 (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), GBC cannot post your grades and name together so a impractical code system is used. Use your codename if you want to check your official grades. Again, this asinine directive by the US Government takes away desire to strive for success, no wonder we are 39 th in the world in math and science.

4. Once you begin your exam you must complete it before the time limit is up. Just like homework, once you officially submit your quiz to Pearson it is gone and cannot be re-submitted.

5. Quiz problems will be either multiple choice format or fill in the

blank types selected from a database on a random basis. In other words, the questions on your quiz may be different from those of the next student.

6. The rules about missing a weekly quiz are explained further on in the syllabus.

The MIDTERM EXAM: (Measurement 25% of your final grade)1. Will be available during middle of the term. 2. It will be a proctored exam - you must attend and take the exam in

person. You will be required to set up a place and time to take the exam. You can bring in your textbook and notes when you take this exam. You can bring in a calculator but you cannot use your phone as a calculator for this exam. No phones allowed.

3. It will cover all chapters completed up until that date . 4. You can of course use your textbook and notebook.5. It counts as 25% of your final grade.6. If you miss the MIDTERM Exam you cannot make it up. You will

get a zero for the MIDTERM Exam. 7. MIDTERM EXAMs will be different for each student.

The FINAL EXAM: (Measurement 25% of your final grade)1. Will be available during FINAL EXAM week. 2. It will be a proctored exam - you must attend and take the exam in

person. You will be required to set up a place and time to take the exam. You can bring in your textbook and notes when you take this exam. You can bring in a calculator - you cannot use your phone as a calculator for this exam. No phones allowed.

3. It will be a comprehensive exam and cover all chapters. 4. You can of course use your textbook and notebook.5. It counts as 25% of your final grade.6. If you miss the FINAL Exam you cannot make it up. You will get a

zero for the FINAL Exam. 7. FINAL EXAMs will be different for each student

Labs: (Measurement 15% of your grade)As mentioned earlier there will be weekly lab assignments. You will be required to turn them in using the WebCampus function. Adequate time will be given for writing the Lab assignments. Turn in dates will be well posted. These labs will serve to teach the method of scientific investigation and/or to demonstrate concepts being discussed during that week’s lesson. A sample lab will be provided with WebCampus. You may need to be able to utilize a spreadsheet program (such as EXCEL) to print charts and extract information from data taken from the lab video. There are important rules governing the lab aspect of the course. These labs will be available on a down - loadable video basis for all students. Along with the video demonstration, a data file may attached so that the student may use this data in their write-up.

(Lab reports continued)

1. Your lab report must be turned by the cutoff time using WebCampus. It cannot be late. The cutoff for the lab report is Sunday night 11:55 PM (including holidays) with the day for that lab listed.

2. Labs will be graded within a few weeks after turning them in. You will be able to use WebCampus to check your lab grade.

3. Please make sure that you provide everything that is asked for in the procedure. The procedure will list the point structure of the report grading. If you leave out required sections you can rest assured that you will not get the credit for those sections. You should check that you have incorporated every listed requirement prior to handing in your report.

4. Please turn in all assignments in Microsoft WORD. If you send it in any other format I cannot download and grade it. If I cannot grade it, you will get a zero. Remember, do not use WordPerfect, do not use any other program other than Mircosoft WORD. The college officially uses WORD. Do not turn your report in in EXCEL. If you use EXCEL to plot a chart, copy and paste the chart into your lab report. If you use POWERPOINT to draw a picture, copy and paste that picture into your report. Do not give me a POWERPOINT file to look at. Do not send me a JPG file. I will only open your WORD file to grade so do not attach other files that you want me to open.

5. Please save the lab report file with a filename that has your name in it as well as the assignment.. For example: “PHYS151LAB1.2016JillSmith.doc”. This makes it easier for both you and I.

6. Once you submit the lab report on your computer, it is gone, it cannot be re-submitted.

7. You cannot just copy your friend’s lab report and submit it. Data presented with the video labs may be different for you. I know who is getting what data and will grade your results accordingly.

8. You CAN send me an EXCEL file (or other types) for me to look at ahead of time to make sure you are on the right track. But when you officially submit your report, it must be in WORD.

(lab reports continued)

9. You CAN send in a preliminary lab report for me to look at ahead of time to make sure you are on the right track.

10. You will use WebCampus and NOT the Pearson system for your Lab reports

PRESENTATION: (Measurement) 5% of your final gradeIn addition to the above, one presentation will be required on a biography of a scientist, inventor, engineer of your choice. You will prepare at least ten Power Point slides for this assignment. This will be shared online with your fellow students. You will turn this in using the WebCampus dropbox.

Hopefully Helpful Hints: Make sure that your computer configuration is compatible with a WebCampus class. Go over the information provided by WebCampus. If you have technical questions go to the Technical Help Desk at your facility (e.g. High Tech Center in Elko). The phone number of the Elko HTC is: (775) 753-2160. It is a good idea to start the homework early in the week and turn it in by Friday. If a problem occurs, at least you have two days to solve the computer error. There is nothing that can be done if you have computer trouble at the last minute before the assignment is due and cannot turn it in. If you do not turn it in on time it will be recorded automatically as a zero. Always save your files just in case a problem occurs!

About missing a Homework assignment, Lab report, TEST, FINAL or the One-Page-Term-Paper. Here are the rules:

1. If you do not submit the assignment when due or do not take the exam when it is given, you will receive a zero for that assignment. It cannot be made up. Please do not ask. It would not be fair to other students who have turned in the assignment when it was due.

2. You can be excused and the due date shifted if you make PRIOR arrangements with me. For example, you may have to go on a business trip where there is just no way you can complete an assignment being out of town. We will work it out but you must let me know ahead of time and not after the fact. You may email me, call me or have someone else contact me before the due date (or test time). As long as you let me know ahead of time and I respond that it is acceptable! If you were working for a large company (like Walmart), you would be fired if you did not show up or call in. That is called a “no call - no show”.

There are always blockages in the road of life, we all have them from time to time, but not calling in to notify people that you have a problem would be irresponsible. There are reasonable limitations set on this section however. For example, you cannot do this every week.

3. You can be excused if you provide a medical doctors note explaining that you could not complete the assignment or test due to a medical emergency. This exception is listed for students who have an unforeseeable medical emergency occur to them or a loved one and are just unable to complete the material. There are reasonable limitations set on this section as well. You can't use this excuse every week.

4. If you are excused for missing an assignment or TEST and have to take a makeup or submit the homework or lab at another agreed upon time - it may take weeks to get it graded since it is out of synchronization. All attempts will be made to place your grade into the main grade book however your grade for an out of synchronization item may not show up at all on WebCampus. Please understand this point.

Grading:Not all activities carry the same weight. Here is how we will partition the sections:

Homework: 15%Weekly Quiz: 15%Lab Reports: 15%Midterm Exam: 25%Presentation: 5 %Final exam: 25 %

Obviously, it is important to be prepared to do your best on both the Midterm and Final exams. Starting in 2016 the Science Department has gone to proctored Midterm and Final exams. You must be able to do well on these exams in order to pass this course. In the past it was noticed that some students may gather together and complete the homework collectively. This usually improves the stronger students who tend to lead the group but injures the weaker ones who just copy and follow. Remember both the Midterm Exam and the FINAL EXAM are an independent effort - you take it solo and in person. It is best if you work the homework problems yourself. If you are having trouble, see the Tutoring Center for help. Emailing the instructor is another way to get help understand difficult problems.

If your calculated grade is:

Between 100% and 97% = A+ (listed as A) 96% and 90% = A

89% and 87% = B+86% and 80% = B

79% and 77% = C+76% and 70% = C69% and 51% = Dless than 50% = F

Notice, there are no minus grades.

Keep in mind that the WebCampus or Pearson online grade book will not always show your correct grade because we use two different systems that are not linked together and may not update correctly. The official grade book is the instructors. You should always keep a record of the grades for your assignments just in case there is an error.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

“I usually get A’s in all of my courses but I am doing poorly in your class. Do you drop the lowest test?”ANSWER: No

“Are you going to grade this course on a curve?”ANSWER: No

“Why am I doing so badly in your class?” “ I try to do some of the problems at the end of the chapter but I don’t always get them.”ANSWER: YOU HAVE TO DO AND UNDERSTAND EVERY PROBLEM AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER WHERE YOU CAN CHECK YOUR ANSWER.IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ASK THE PROFESSOR IN PERSON, IN CLASS, OR VIA EMAIL.

"My friend got an answer of 8.6 on question #2 and I had the same answer but I was marked wrong" SOMETIMES DIFFERENT QUESTIONS ARE USED. LOOKS LIKE YOU COPIED YOUR FRIENDS ANSWER AND IT DID NOT FIT THE QUESTION ONYOUR TEST. HMMMMMM......

Incorporation of the General Education Objectives into Physics 151

Communication Skills (strong component): Fourteen written lab reports on quantitative physics related investigations are required. All reports will follow a standard format of introduction, observations, discussions and conclusions. Reports are graded (100 points each) and are tabulated at the end of the semester for overall completion of this assignment. Assessment of percentage of completion will be made on this section for compliance.

Critical Thinking (strong component):Quantitative Ability (significant): The Laboratories specifically require measurement, detailed mathematic manipulation of the data, and the creation of graphs, sketches and photos. Assessment of completion will be made on each report topic as to its thoroughness of presentation.

Reasoning and Independent Thought (significant): Homework exercises require reasoning and independent thought based on the interpretation of both qualitative and quantitative information. Many homework questions require reasoning and the application of mathematics, not just the memorization of terms. Assessment of this area will be made in conjunction with expected learner outcomes (as listed earlier) and tested on the Final Exam.

Scientific Understanding (significant): All principles taught in this course are based on scientific reasoning with interpretations based on facts. The required lab reports introduce the use of the scientific method, the gathering of observations and drawing of conclusions when required. Assessment of percentage of completion will be made on this section for compliance.

Personal and Cultural Awareness (minimal component):Sense of the Individual in Society (very little): This General Education

objective is not a significant component of this course and is not assessed.

Sense of the Past (some component): The history of the study of physical science has been ongoing since the beginning of time. Areas such as the move from Aristotle type thinking to that using the scientific method will be discussed. Whenever possible, a progression of human achievements will be shown with their historical consequences. The degree of achievement of this goal will be assessed by percentage of students correctly answering questions on the Final Exam which pertain to this area,

Sense of Accountability (minimal component): The correct and responsible use of energy on the Earth’s will be noted when applicable. The degree of achievement of this goal will be assessed by percentage of students correctly answering questions on the Final Exam which pertain to this area.

Appreciation of Fine Arts (no degree): This General Education objective is not a significant component of this course and is not assessed.

Personal Wellness (some degree):Personal safety is considered in the discussion of laboratory experiments. The

degree of achievement of this goal will be assessed by percentage of students correctly answering questions on the Final Exam which pertain to this area.

Technological Understanding (moderate component):Students are introduced to microscopes, electronic balances, digital thermometers, and other modern observational equipment. Laboratory reports and homework assignments will be produced using appropriate word processing, presentation, photo processing and spreadsheet software. Students will use WebCampus to access class materials and submit assignments. An overall objective examination of this section will be made and achievement success of this General Education goal will be gauged by the instructor at the completion of the class.

Academic Honesty:Academic dishonesty in any form (such as cheating and plagiarism) will not be tolerated by the instructor AND Great Basin College. Academic dishonesty can result in a failing grade (F), academic suspension, or expulsion from the class and/or the college.

Attendance:Since this is an online class attendance will not be taken. You are responsible for the work to be turned in on time.

Withdrawal:A student may receive a "W" (withdraw) grade only if withdrawal occurs before October 27, 2014. To withdraw, the student must inform the instructor verbally or in writing why the withdrawal is taking place, and must formally withdraw through student services. If a student does not complete the course, but does not formally withdraw, an "F" grade will be issued. "I" grades for "incomplete" will be given only under the most extenuating circumstances, and only with prior approval of the instructor.

Services for Students with Disabilities:"GBC supports providing equal access for students with disabilities. An advisor is available to discuss appropriate accommodations with students. Please contact the ADA Officer in Elko at (775) 753 - 2271 at your earliest convenience to request timely and appropriate accommodations".
