Instructor:.................. Professor Charles Mallory

Email:........................ charles.mallory@ieee.org

Web Address: ........... http://TheMalloryFamily.net/ = Check this location often. This loc= ation will contain old quizzes, tests, handouts, study guides and grades.

Office Hours:............. Mondays and Wednesday= 6:15 PM to 6:50 PM in the Culinary Arts Institute Building Room 232.

SLO:= .......................... Student Learning Outcomes (SLO).

1.= Conceptualize and explain simple physical phenomena and identify the related scientific concepts.

2.= Describe various forms of motion and identify the forces that produce each.

Text= : ......................... = An Introduction to Physical Science, by Shipman, Wilson & Todd, 12^th edition. It is strongly recom= mended that you purchase this edition of the book. Note that the previous editions of= this book will have different questions at the end of each of the chapters.

Attendance:.........= ...... This will be taken each class and will count for 5% of your final grade. Please be aware that if you stop c= oming to class it will be your responsibility to drop the class. If you stop coming to class and do not take the final you will have earned an “F” in the class.

Class Descripti= on:..... This course is designed for non-science majors.= It meets the General Education requirements for Natural Sciences. This survey course covers the gene= ral principles of Physics, Chemistry and Astronomy.

Homework: ........= ....... Homework will be given for each chapter and will count for 15% of your grade. The test and final questions will = come from the homework. The assign= ments will be collected and graded. The grading will be based upon the work shown and not just for the answers.<= o:p>

Tests: ....................... Seven= tests will be given and will count for 50% of your final grade. The test questions will primari= ly come from the questions at the end of each chapter of the book. Please note that the problems will= be slightly changed from the homework questions. Each test is designed to take about 30-45 minutes to complete.

Final:......................... The Final= will count for 30% of your final grade. The final questions will be taken from the tests and will be slightly changed. The final will be cumulative and cover all tests. Failure to take the final exam will result in an automatic fail in the course. If you decide to stop coming to cl= ass, it is your responsibility to drop the class.

Grading:= ................... The gradi= ng will be performed on a semi-modified curve. The grade you will earn will be ba= sed on the following scale:

A = 90% - 100%

B = 75% - 89%

C = 60% - 74%

D = 45% - 59%

F &= nbsp; 0% - 44%

I guarantee that you will receive at least the above grade if not higher due to class performance. You will be prov= ided with the grades periodically during class through the email address you provided during registration.

Calculations

Uncertainty and Significant Figure= s

The Leaset Accurate Number (LAN) determines the number of digits= to which the answer is expressed.

Addition and Subtraction

1. &= nbsp; The LAN is the number with the least number of digits following the decimal poi= nt.

2. The answer = (sum or difference) can have no more digits following the d= ecimal point than the LAN.

= ;

= Example:

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; What is the total mass of a mixture made by mixing the following substances?

&nb= sp; = &nb= sp; 2= 12 &= nbsp; g water (LAN)

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; 1.8 = g salt

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; 1.88 g sug= ar

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; ____________________<= /span>

&nb= sp; = &nb= sp; ~~215.98 g (incorrect)~~

&nb= sp; = &nb= sp; 216 &= nbsp; g (correct)

Multiplication and Division

1. = The LAN is the number with the least number of significant figures.<= /span>

2. = The answer (product or quotient) can have no more significant fig= ures than the LAN.

&= nbsp; Example:

Calculate the volume of a rectangular solid that has a length of 4.16 cm, a width of = 2.2 cm, and a height of 2.00 cm.

&= nbsp; Volume =3D Length x Width x Height

&= nbsp; Volume =3D (4.16cm) (2.2cm) (2.00cm)

&= nbsp; = &nb= sp; LAN

&= nbsp; Volume =3D 18.304 cm³ (incorrect)

Code of Academic Honor and Integri= ty

Los Angeles Mission Co= llege

Departments of Physica= l and Life Sciences

Students at Los Angeles Mission College, because they are members of an academic community dedicated to the achievement of excellence and the pursuit of hon= or, are expected to meet high standards of personal, ethical, and professional conduct. These standa= rds require personal integrity and a commitment to honesty. Without the ability= to trust in these principles, an academic community and a civil society cannot exist. Los Angeles Mission College students and faculty are as committed to= the development of students with honesty and integrity as they are to the acade= mic and professional success of its students.

The Academic Code of Honor and Integri= ty is an undertaking of the students, both individually and collectively, that they will:

1. &= nbsp; Not give or receive unpermitted aid during exams, quizzes or assignments

Some examples of conduct that are regarded as being in violation of the Academic Honor Code include:

· Copying from another’s examination or quiz, or allowing anoth= er to copy from one’s own papers

Using any unpermi= tted source of information, human or other, during an exam, quiz or assignm= ent that influences the grade; this includes the use of technological devi= ces

Any student-to-st= udent collaboration that is unpermitted
Plagiarism= (plagiarism is defined as the use, without giving reasonable and appropriate credit to, or acknowledging = the author or source, of another person's original work)=
Representing as one’s own work as the work of another
Giving or receivi= ng aid on an academic assignment under circumstances in which a reasonable pe= rson should have known that such aid is not permitted

As a part of the effort to promote and instill an environment of honesty and integrity during quizzes and examinations, the following guidelines will apply for any courses in the Departments of Physical and Life Sciences:

1. Students will lea= ve all books and all other non-essential items (e.g. paper, electronic devices) on= the floor or inside their backpacks so that they are not useable nor block the sight line between professor and student. No electronic devices will be in reach.

2.&n= bsp; Students will not communicate in any way that will dishonorably assist themselves or= another student.

3. Students will lea= ve the room during an exam only if permitted by the professor’s policy. = ; If permitted, only one student may leave the room at any time and be gone for = only the average length of time needed for the stated purpose. Students wi= ll leave all purses, bags, books, phones, jackets, etc., in the classroom duri= ng the absence.

4. Students will pro= mote the spirit and letter of the Code = of Academic Honesty and Integrity by dissu= ading fellow students from dishonest activity and, when such casual persuasion do= es not work, informing the professor of the possible dishonest activity, either anonymously, or otherwise.

5. Students will make every effort to avoid the appearance of dishonesty or lack of integrity

Violation of this policy will not be tolerated and violators will be subject to penalties. The success of the Code of Academic Honor and Integrity is based upon the collective desire of students, faculty and the community to live in an environment that embraces respect for that which is right – both in the college and in society = as a whole.

I have read and understand the Code of Academic Honor and Integrity and will abide by both its intent and its spirit:
