WEBASSIGN (ONLINE HOMEWORK SYSTEM):
You are encouraged to work together on homeworks. You must acquire a WebAssign access code. You will be doing your homework online and it counts 20% towards your grade. The access code can be purchased at the bookstore or online. You can use a computer in the library to do your homework, if necessary.
To register you will need the following information:
Full Name
User
Name
Hendry, Steven
hendry.steven
O'Sullivan, Ronald
o.sullivan.ronald
Temporary password for ALL students: light77
After getting access to WebAssign please change your password.
and follow the instructions on the screen.
Additional information can be found at
EXTRACREDIT FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS DURING THE LECTURE
You are encouraged to answer questions during the lecture. You will receive 3 points for a correct response, 2 points for partly correct answer, 1 point for participation. Each week you are encouraged to answer no more than 2 such questions in class. Your points will be added to your weekly WebAssign grades by the instructor.
SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONAL SESSIONS
The Supplementary
Instructional (SI) sessions are highly recommended. The SI sessions will be
conducted by experienced graduate student, Sean Hicks. Here is the schedule of
SI sessions for this semester:
Tuesdays 12:30 - 1:45 TBD
Wednesdays 11:00 - 12:15
Friday 001
Thursdays 5:00 - 6:15 Smith

CALCULATORS:
Students will need to use a scientific calculator for homework, tests, and the exam. Please note that the inappropriate use of graphing calculators and calculators with memory for storing any background information such for example as solutions of the review problems or any mathematical expressions related to the content of course will be strongly prohibited during the exams.
STUDYING
THE TEXT:
For
most of you PHYS 2102 will be the first course that you will apply calculus
rigorously. I strongly advise to review your calculus,
trigonometry, vector algebra and basic plane geometry. The course requires
at least three hours of studying for each lecture. Keeping up with the
contents covered during the semester is crucial. If you fall behind in
contents as the semester proceeds then it will be very hard to catch later
on. The key to the success is studying in an organized way and asking
questions when you do not understand. I strongly recommend group study.
The following is a set
of rules governing students’ conduct in the classroom. They represent little
more than common courtesy. The continued violation of these rules after an
appropriate warning can result in the student being disenrolled from the
course.
1. DO NOT HOLD
PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS DURING THE CLASS.
2. ALL CELL
PHONES AND PAGERS MUST BE TURNED OFF DURING THE CLASS.
3. Arrive for class on
time. If you arrive a few minutes late, quietly take a seat in the back of the
classroom.
4. If it is necessary to
leave before the class is over, inform the instructor before the class begins.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
You must completely do your own work on the in-class exams, and the final. Failure to do so will be a violation of academic integrity. Academic honesty and integrity are essential to the existence and growth of an academic community. Without maintenance of high standards of honesty, members of the instructional faculty are defrauded, students are unfairly treated, and society itself is poorly served. Maintaining the academic standards of honesty and integrity is ultimately the formal responsibility of the instructional faculty; and this responsibility is shared by all members of the academic community. UNC Charlotte strives to create an academic climate in which the dignity of all individuals is respected and maintained. Therefore, we celebrate diversity that includes, but is not limited to ability/disability, age, culture, ethnicity, gender, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status.
Students have the responsibility to know and observe the requirements of The UNCC Code of Student Academic Integrity (Catalog p. 275). This code forbids cheating, fabrication or falsification of information, multiple submissions of academic work, plagiarism, abuse of academic materials, and complicity in academic dishonesty. Any special requirements or permission regarding academic integrity in this course will be stated by the instructor, and are binding on the students. Academic evaluations in this course include a judgment that the student’s work is free from academic dishonesty of any type; and grades in this course therefore should be and will be adversely affected for academic dishonesty. Students who violate the code can be expelled from UNCC. The normal penalty for first offense is zero credit on the work involving dishonesty and further substantial reduction of the course grade. In almost all cases the course grade is reduced to F. Students are expected to report cases of academic dishonesty to the course instructor.
• No cell
phones or other electronics at all during exams.
•
Students with cell phones or other wireless communication devices during an
exam will have the exam taken up and receive no credit for the exam.
•
Students will be required to show their university ID upon turning in exams.
