Homework: New problem sets will be given out each Thursday unless specified otherwise.
Parts of the homework have to be completed by using Mastering Physics (www.masteringphysics.com). You will have to create a Mastering Physics account and register for the course (course ID: DOETINCHEMPHYS272SPRING15). Mastering Physics problems are due before the lecture on Thursdays one week after the assignment unless specified otherwise.
Some fraction of the problems will have to be worked on with pen and paper (hand-in). Hand-in problems have to be submitted during the break of the lecture on Thursdays one week after the assignment unless specified otherwise. Hand-in problems can be worked on in groups of two. These groups have to be registered with me at the beginning of the semester and cannot be changed during the semester. Both group members will get the same number of points. Please submit only one hand-in homework per group. You have to submit your individual solution for the Mastering Physics part.
i>clickers are used during class for in-class participation as part of the grade (register your i>clicker on https://laulima.hawaii.edu/iclicker).
i>clicker GO users have to get their i>clicker GO IDs with this procedure:
open the app -> my account -> i>clicker GO credentials -> hex code in the first line
This ID can be entered into https://laulima.hawaii.edu/iclicker like the regular i>clicker IDs.
Computers: Internet access required for Mastering Physics exercises.
Grading: final 35%, midterm 1 25%, midterm 2 25%, homework 15%, extra credit: in-class i>clicker questions: 5%
To pass the class only one out of the written examinations (midterm 1, midterm 2, final) is allowed to be F (below 40%).
