Course Policies • Grading • 5-10 Clicker questions/day (scaled) = 25% • 2 Exams (100 points each) = 40% • 1 Comprehensive Final = 35% Above point system subject to minor changes
Clicker Questions Beginning of class: 2-3 questions based on reading assignment During Class 3-7 questions based on lecture or on “Materials Moments”
Extra Credit Opportunity The Materials Moment More information coming soon
Grading Scale 90-100% = A 80-90% = B 70-80% = C 60-70% = D Below 60% = F Final Score = the higher of: • Average of all scores • Final Exam Score
Important dates • Last Day to withdraw with a “W”: Tuesday, 11 March • Final Exam: Monday, 5 May 10:30-12:30 JH 283
Borderline grades Extra credit and class participation move you up to the next letter grade.
Attendance • Attendance is encouraged • Make-up exams • Written justification required • Must be taken in advance of assignment

Keys to SuccessHow many hours should you spendoutside of classto earn an A or B?
Keys to SuccessBased on research on learning Take notes on reading assignment before coming to class (about 1 hour) Take notes in class on anything you don’t remember from textbook notes Spend 20 minutes MWF afternoon combining your two sets of notes (1 & 2) Over weekend, spend one hour reviewing your notes.
Keys to Success, cont’d If you follow my advice, You spend 2 hrs 20 minutes per week.No need to cram for exams. The day before an exam, spend about 2 hours studying.
Because my major requires it. Because I live in a Material world. Because it is the most important course I will ever take. Why am I here?

Primary Classes of MaterialsComposition • Metals • Ceramics • Polymers • Composites
Metals: High-carbon Steel High-Carbon Steel Jigsaw Blade
Metals: Titanium “Obtanium” bicycle shocks vs. steel • Weight reduction • Longer life • Closer true-spring rate
Ceramics: Tempered glass Tempered glass sink
Ceramics: Refractories Silica refractory bricks: Industrial furnace
Polymers: Vulcanized Rubber Ice hockey requires a hard disk of vulcanized rubber.
Polymers: Thermoset Plastics Chemiplastica melamine thermoset plastics resistant to heat, chemicals, moisture, electricity and scratching.
Polymers: Plasticizers Our plasticizers impart impact resistance, improve low-temperature flexibility of fused films and provide thermal and light stability.
Composites Concrete reinforced with rebar
Composites Fiberglass kayak
Composites: Ceramic matrix Ceramic disc brakes: Ceramic rods in a ceramic matrix
Interrelationships Composition Processing Structure Properties Performance
Processing Processing determines properties Example: Raw timber vs. Paper
