Text:
......................... An
Introduction to Physical Science, by Shipman, Wilson & Todd, 13th
edition
It
is highly recommended that you purchase this book. Note that other editions of this book will
have different questions at the end of each of the chapters which may cause you
issues while studying.
Attendance:.............. This
will be taken each class and will count for 5% of your final grade. Please be aware that if you stop coming 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 Description:.... This
course is designed for non-science majors.
It meets the General Education requirements for Natural Sciences. This survey course covers the general
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 assignments will be
collected and graded. The grading will
be based upon the work shown and not just for the answers.
Tests:
....................... Several
tests will be given and will count for 50% of your final grade. The test questions will primarily 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 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 class, it is
your responsibility to drop the class.
Grading:
................... The grading
will be performed on a semi-modified curve.
The grade you will earn will be based on the following scale:
A 90% - 100%
B 75% - 89%
C 60% - 74%
F 0% -
44%
I guarantee that you
will receive at least the above grade if not higher due to class
performance. You will be provided with
the grades periodically during class through the email address you provided
during registration.

Write the numbers in exponential notation if you have any doubt. All zeros used to indicate the power of 10 (order of
magnitude) are not significant.
1 If
the last digit to be retained in a number is followed by a number less
than 5 (<5), ROUND
DOWN. Round
to 3 significant figures: 28.23 rounds to 28.2 578.1 rounds to 578 2 If
the last digit to be retained in a number is followed by a number greater
than 5 (>5), ROUND
UP. Round
to 2 significant figures: 5.998 rounds to 6.0 0.00258 rounds to 0.0026 3.6502 rounds to 3.7 3 If
the last digit to be retained in a number is followed by 5 (0000000…
implied), ROUND the last digit
retained to an EVEN NUMBER. Round
to 2 significant figures: 1.75 rounds to 1.8 1.050 rounds to 1.0 1.45 rounds to 1.4 Round
to 4 significant figures: 67.835 rounds to 67.84 67.885 rounds to 67.88
The
Least Accurate Number (LAN)
determines the number of digits to which the answer is expressed.
1. The LAN is the
number with the least number of digits following the decimal point.
2. The answer (sum or difference)
can have no more digits following the decimal point than the LAN.
Example:
What is the total mass of a
mixture made by mixing the following substances?
212 g water (LAN)
1.8 g
salt
1.88 g
sugar
____________________
215.98 g (incorrect)
216 g (correct)
1. The LAN is the number with the least
number of significant figures.
2. The answer (product or quotient)
can have no more significant figures than the LAN.
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.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = (4.16cm) (2.2cm) (2.00cm)
LAN
Volume = 18.304 cm3 (incorrect)
Volume = 18 cm3 (correct)
Code of Academic Honor and
Integrity
Los Angeles Mission College
Departments of Physical 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 honor,
are expected to meet high standards of personal, ethical, and professional
conduct. These standards 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 academic and professional success of
its students.
The
Academic Code of Honor and Integrity
is an undertaking of the students, both individually and collectively, that
they will:
1. Not
give or receive unpermitted aid during exams, quizzes or assignments
2. Not give or receive unpermitted aid in
assignments, reports or any other course work that is to be used by the
instructor as a basis for grading.
3. Do their share and take an active part in
upholding the spirit and letter of the Code of Academic Honor and Integrity.
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 another to copy
from one’s own papers
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 leave 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. Students
will not communicate in any way that will dishonorably assist themselves or another
student.
3. Students will leave 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 will leave all purses,
bags, books, phones, jackets, etc., in the classroom during the absence.
4.
Students will promote the spirit and
letter of the Code of Academic Honesty and Integrity by dissuading
fellow students from dishonest activity and, when such casual persuasion does
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:
