    5. Grading Criteria Homework 15% Laboratories 10% Quizzes 20% Hour Exams (3) 30% Final Exam 25% A >90% B >80% C >70% D >60%

    6. Student Responsibilities Do your homework Make your method clear. Givens, Finds, Sketches, Fundamentals, Solutions. Units!!!! Box your answer. Turn it in on time. Study groups vs. independent work CAPA and ANDES

    7. Problem Solving Technique Read the problem. Reread it if necessary. Write down the information that is given. Write down what is to be found. Draw a picture or sketch. Write down the fundamental physical relationship necessary to solve your problem. Perform the mathematics (algebra, trig, calculus). Remember the rules for significant digits. Simultaneously, perform unit analysis. Box your final answer. Include units. Check that your answer makes sense.

    8. Student Responsibilities Participate in labs Prelab Data taking, analysis and report via internet Graphs paste into Excel and email Lab quiz? Exams/Quizzes Quiz at least every other week Three exams CPS Integrity

    9. Student Responsibilities Ask Questions and Get Help Princeton Review ranking. Call/email anytime for assistance. Stay healthy and alert Sleep Workout Beverage Medical Bring your book and calculator to all classes and labs

    10. Relevance a gentleman of refined manners, liberal education, and the nicest sense of personal honor. Like it or not, the navy is technical. Math is important. Admittedly not essential. It adds richness to your understanding. It is often the language of science. Calculus was invented to explain Physics! Physics is not just memorizing equations.
