5. Textbook:Strongly Recommended ISBN: 1-4292-7270-6 Publisher: W.H. Freeman • Mechanics • Also recommended: • Physics for Scientists and Engineers,by Serway and Jewett. Any edition is fine.

6. Course Prerequisites • One semester of college-level calculus (Math 1210 or equivalent) • A thorough knowledge of algebra and trigonometry

7. Overview of smartPhysics • Online PreLectures(animated lessons, completed beforelecture) • Online CheckPoints(quizzes to check knowledge, completed beforelecture) • Textbook (reference, optional problems)

8. You will VIEWvideo PreLecturesbefore class: CONFRONT the concepts and principles How we’ll use smartPhysics

9. Next, you’ll complete a CheckPoint quiz before class: CHECKyour understanding of the PreLecture How we’ll use smartPhysics

10. How we’ll use smartPhysics COME to class! The lecture will be more INTERACTIVEbecause of the work you’ve done before class

11. Lectures Interactive Lectures (using computer projector) • Address questions and difficulties expressed by students from the prelecturesand checkpoints • Work out examples • Use checkpoint questions plus others to survey class (“vote” with color-coded cards)

12. How you can do well in this course You should spend at least 3 hours on prelectures and homework for every lecture! • Make a good effort on the online activities. The last CheckPoint question is optional and is called “Lecture Thoughts.” I will study these before class and will adjust the lecture to your needs. • Participate in lecture. You will learn more (and have more fun) from an active setting in which you participate with the instructor and your peers to probe your understanding of the fundamental principles. 3.DO THE HOMEWORK THE RIGHT WAY!!!To truly understand physics you must practice solving problems. Work on the homework on your own as far as possible, without help from the text, notes, or solutions. Then, study the textbook, and if you need it, ask for a hint that will get you a little further and continue this way until you complete it.

13. Tomorrow: Diagnostic Exam • The purpose of the diagnostic exam, taken at your discussion section, is to identify students who would benefit from extra instruction before enrolling in PHYS2210. This extra instruction takes the form of a 3-credit hour class, PHYS1500.
