Enrollment in Phys-211 and Phys-111 is equivalentto taking a calculus-based general physics course. Topics covered include kinematics, dynamics,special relativity, and wave motion.You are expected to be in class, and you are responsible for the material covered in each class, and forany work assigned or collected in each class. Late work will be accepted, but with a significantreduction in the score. Since the class meets only once a week for an hour, there will not be time togo back over material for students who miss class. Missing more than three classes may result in afailing grade. Electronics that distract more from learning (iPods, phones, computers used for otherthan note-taking) will be confiscated. Problems will be addressed individually.Your grade will be based on several short homework assignments, quizzes, and a cumulative final.Quizzes and Final 40%Homework 60%The letter grade will be based on a straight percentage scale, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%. The top andbottom 2% in a division will be a + or -. You are expected to do your own work. Any work you turnin must reflect your own writing, thoughts, and organization. Copying will not be tolerated. Anywork that was copied will receive no credit, and may result in a failing grade for the course.If you are currently taking Phys 111, the overall score you earn in Phys 211 will count as an examscore in Phys 111, and the grade you earn in Phys 211 will be the same as in Phys 111.Late Work:Late homework may be turned in until the last class day of the term, and will graded on the basis of amaximum of 50%. Quizzes may not be made up unless excused prior to the quiz.Schedule: Week Topic Week Topic1 Intro 9 Numerical Problems2 Functions, Uncertainty 10 Gravity3 Motion Graphs 11 Work, Energy4 Equations of Motion 12 Momentum5 Vectors 13 Center of Mas6 Projectile Motion 14 Moments of Mass7 Forces 15 Noether’s Theorem8 Centripetal Acceleration 16 Final ExamNotice:This syllabus is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor in order to accommodateinstitutional, instructional and/or student needs.

Concordia University, NebraskaCourse WorkloadIn the face-to-face, online, and hybrid classrooms at Concordia University, Nebraska, credit hours are amassed in a course throughstudent-to-instructor interaction, student-to-student interaction, Blackboard activities, contact with course-specific content,assignments, assigned videos, and other activities. No matter the length of the course meeting time in weeks or the amount of face-tofaceinstruction in the course, students can expect to devote at least 135 hours for each 3-credit course.Course ParticipationFederal Financial Aid regulations, which Concordia observes for all students, require that students regularly participate in courses inwhich they are enrolled. All students must log into the course management system (Blackboard) or participate in a face-to-facesession weekly in order to avoid being tagged as a non-participant. Students must use the Concordia Blackboard and e-mailmessaging systems to contact instructors and advisors. Students who are unable to participate regularly in their course for any reasonshould contact their instructor and their advisor.

Violations may subject you to disciplinary actionincluding the following: receiving a failing grade on an assignment or examination, receiving a failing grade for the course, and/orbeing suspended from the university.ADAStudents with a documented disability, who need reasonable accommodations, should contact ADA & Academic Support located inLink Library to arrange an appointment to discuss their individual needs.
