PHYS-216 with Lab
This course is introductory college physics without calculus.
Covers basic classical Newtonian mechanics (motion, forces, energy, momentum).
Laboratory activities include experiments and computer simulations to illustrate the main topics.
In addition to learning basic physics, the course is intended to develop skills in problem solving and quantitative reasoning.

Grading Scale
Each element (and the total grade) is based on a point system (rounded up to the nearest tenth of a point) where: 90 to 100 = A (e.g. 89.91=90.0=A) 80 to 89.9 = B (e.g. 89.89=89.9=B) 70 to 79.9 = C 60 to 69.9 = D Below 60 = F

Tips and Tricks for this Course
Remember that quizzes and tests are 60 percent of your grade (quizzes 30% and final 30%).
It pays to do the homework and turn it in on time! Homework and labs are “easy” grades.
The best way to learn physics is to work as many problems as you can.
Don’t blow off labs; late labs don’t count and no labs are “dropped.”
Keep class handouts; these are basically lecture notes and all quizzes and tests are based upon them. Make sure you understand them.
