  3. My Contact Info • Dr. Karen G. Andeen • William Wehr Physics #305 • 1(414)288-3569 • karen.andeen@marquette.edu • Current Office Hours: M/W/TH 4-5 PM or by appointment. (I reserve the right to change times: will notify you if that happens.)

  4. Required Materials • Six Ideas that Changed Physics • By Thomas Moore • Volumes R, C, & N • Other Supplies • Scientific Calculator • eInstruction Clicker • Metric Ruler & Protractor

  5. Course Related Websites • D2L sites for class, lab, and discussion • Course handouts & lab manual • Prelab Assignments • Dropbox & Grade-book • Communications • McGraw-Hill Connect Homework Website (also linked on d2l) • http://connect.mheducation.com/class/k-andeen-fall-2015

  6. Grade Breakdown

  7. Grade Breakdown • Exams = ~16.7% each 50% total • Two in-class exams during the term (September 25th and November 2nd) • One during finals week (Thursday, December 17th, 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) • Homework = 15% • Register at: http://connect.mheducation.com/class/k-andeen-fall-2015 (posted on d2l) • 3 problems, due at 9:00 a.m. every MWF (starting Friday)

  8. Grade Breakdown • Laboratory = 15% • 2-hr weekly lab session in WW 239 • Will get lab info on first day of lab (next week) • Discussion Session = 5% • 1-hr weekly session, WW 216 or WW 122 • Small group problem solving • Attendance & active participation required • Will get more info from instructor in first discussion section (first discussion is this week on Thursday)

  9. Grade Breakdown • Reading Quizzes = 10% • Questions daily at the start of class • Based on reading assignment • No make-ups allowed • Pass/Fail: you either get 10% or 0% based on your average score (i.e. 50-100% average quiz grade gets you the full 10%) • Participation = 5% • Clicker questions • In-class activities & discussion

  10. Activating and Using Clickers • https://www1.iclicker.com/register-clicker/

  11. Absences & Missed Work • No late work of any kind will be accepted without permission in advance from me Keep in touch! • Athletes will generally need to work ahead on assignments and hand them in early when absent for scheduled competitions. Written notice from your coaches is required. • Other unavoidable absences may be considered based on University Attendance Policy.

  12. Academic Integrity • You can only use calculators on exams to do basic arithmetic—cell phones, etc will not be allowed!  Bring your calculator to class for practice! • Academic dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated and will be penalized according to University policy: http://bulletin.marquette.edu/undergrad/academicregulations/#academichonestypolicy

  13. Six Ideas Course Expectations • Active Engagement. • Take responsibility for your own learning. • Read the book, work the exercises, take notes • Come to class prepared with questions • Use self reflection & meta-cognition • Daily Plan • Reading quiz—usually 2 questions • Brief (10-15 minutes) lecture—will not cover everything so you need to read! • 2-min problems & longer worked examples

  14. READ THE BOOK!! • Active reading is important in this class. Notice that if you miss or fail the reading quizzes your grade drops by a whole letter grade.  Don’t skip it and don’t fall behind! • We start with volume R because most of you have NOT had relativity in the past.  Good study habits from the beginning. Ask if you need advice for how to read/study more effectively.

  15. Syllabus Quiz • Posted this week on D2L—watch for it. • Counts as 2 reading quizzes. (Free points!) • Complete this quiz on your own time.

  16. CuraPersonalis • At Marquette we aim to teach the whole person • You are my students and I am your teacher but… • We are all people

  17. About me • From Chicago area (Arlington Heights, IL) • Undergrad at Augustana in Rock Island, IL • PhD in Madison • Research on the International Space Station and at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station • Have worked/studied on 6 continents • Just moved from France! • Married with a 4-month old son

  18. About you • I want to know you as people as well as students. • I will be posting a form on d2l requesting information about you: please watch for it and fill it in. This will count as part of your participation grade. • Right now we’re going to: • Rearrange our seats • Take attendance using clickers (where possible) • Take 5 minutes to get to know our neighbors • (If time) quickly discuss/review unit conversions

  20. Volume C, Chapter 1 Introduction to Interactions

  21. Most immediately useful: Units 8 x 1 = ?

  22. Most immediately useful: Units 8 x 1 = 8

  23. Most immediately useful: Units 120 x 1 = ?

  24. Most immediately useful: Units 120 x 1 = 120

  25. Most immediately useful: Units 120 s x 1 = ?

  26. Most immediately useful: Units 120 s x 1 = 120 s

  27. Most immediately useful: Units 120 s x ( ) = ? 1 min 1 min

  28. Most immediately useful: Units Still multiplying by 1, right? 120 s x ( ) = 120 s 1 min 1 min

  29. Most immediately useful: Units 120 s x ( ) = ? 1 min 60 s

  30. Most immediately useful: Units Still multiplying by 1, right? 120 s x ( ) = ? 1 min 60 s

  31. Most immediately useful: Units 1 min 60 s 120 s x ( ) = 2 min

  32. Most immediately useful: Units 1 min 60 s 120 s x ( ) = 2 min

  33. Most immediately useful: Units 120 s x ( ) = X hrs ?

  34. Most immediately useful: Units 1 hr 3600s 120 s x ( ) = hr 1 30

  35. Most immediately useful: Units 1 hr 3600s 120 s x ( ) = hr 1 30

  36. Most immediately useful: Units This is exactly what he does in the book but units in physics get complicated. Don’t panic! Just remember: when converting units, never multiply by something other than 1, and you’ll be fine. (You may have to multiply by 1 six times in order to convert all the units BUT as long as you keep track of your units, and only multiply by 1, you’ll be fine.)

  37. For next time • Sit in arrangement like you are now—choose your seats for now. (We may make seat assignments later.) • Come prepared: • Read through C1 and R1 (see the daily schedule on d2l). • Take notes! • Try the example problems. • Try a few problems from the back of the chapter. This should be enough to pass the reading quizzes. The first homework will be due Friday, and will be posted later today. Get started ASAP—don’t get behind this early in the semester!
