Reading:    You are expected to read the relevant sections of the textbook before coming to class.

Exams:       There will be three in-class quizzes and a comprehensive final exam. The quiz schedule is:

Quiz ^#1 : up to chapter 4 (electric phenomena)-    Thurs. Feb. 13
Quiz ^#2 : up to chapter 7 (magnetic phenomena)-  Thurs. Mar. 20
Quiz ^#3 : up to chapter 10 (e&m phenomena) -     Thurs. Apr. 24

                    Quiz 1:                15%
                    Quiz 2:                15%
                    Quiz 3:                15%
                    Homework:         10%
                    Lab work:           10%
                    Tutorial work:      10%
                    Final Exam:          25%

Homework is due at the beginning of class on the date due, otherwise it is considered late and marks will be taken off depending on the lateness. You are encouraged to work on your homework in groups, however, each person must hand in their own homework, written in their own words. Your homework must be written neatly and have the final result prominently displayed (e.g., in a box).  Please adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by the Georgetown University Honor Council.

Laboratory attendance is mandatory. Lab work must be handed in at the end of each lab period. You will work in groups of two but will hand in joint laboratory work. Again, keep the Honor code in mind.

Tutorial attendance is mandatory, and will comprise of in-class work that will be done in groups, and a homework assignment. Each person is required to hand in their own homework at the beginning of the following Wednesday, ie. during the next tutorial session.  The lowest score from the tutorial grades will be dropped in determining the final grade.  You will incur a 50% penalty from a tutorial grade if you are late by more than 10 minutes (this is necessary due to the group-type nature of the activities of these tutorials).

NOTE: some tutorials may take place during the laboratory time slot, ie. Monday mornings and will be announced and given in the following schedule.

Prof. Chiao-Yap   MW 4:00pm - 5:00pm and/or by appointment
Prof. Esrick:          T R  2:00pm - 3:00pm
                             M    3:00pm - 4:00pm
