There are three 90 minute lectures per week. Take careful notes in each lecture. After each lecture review your notes while the information is still fresh in your mind. Review the same notes on the weekend before you start working on your homework.

Asynchronous material will be delivered online as short, detailed video snippets. You can watch these videos at your convenience. Once lecture or recitation material is posted, it will remain available online throughout the semester. Be sure to take thorough notes and review the videos regularly to prepare for homework assignments and quizzes.

Students will meet for recitation twice a week for a period of 90 minutes. During this meeting, students will work in groups of 3 under the supervision of an instructor. This instructor will serve as a facilitator for students so as to encourage quality problem solving and critical thinking skills in physics. Each session, the instructor will provide groups with three (3) worksheets where students will be required to demonstrate their algebraic process in problem solving. In order to obtain the next worksheet, groups will be expected that their work includes a step-by-step solution to the previous problem. Towards the last 10-15 minutes of each group problem session, there will also be a short quiz that students will complete individually and will be based on the topics covered in that day's meeting. The total grade for this activity each week is 5 points. The average Group Problem grade weights 20% of your final grade. Issues pertaining to the recitations should directly be addressed to Shumaila Chishti.

There will be one online homework assignment each week, which must be submitted electronically through the web. Homework assignments will be made available for download 5–6 days before the due date, typically by Monday before 11:55 PM. After the due time, the answer key will be released, and submissions will no longer be accepted. Late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances. You can log in and print your homework as many times as needed; however, you are limited to four (4) submission attempts per assignment. The grading for each attempt is as follows:

• Correct answers on the first attempt will earn 100% credit.
• Correct answers on the second attempt will earn 75% credit.
• Correct answers on the third attempt will earn 50% credit.
• Correct answers on the fourth attempt will earn 25% credit.

There are two (2) non-cimmulative exams that are conducted in person on campus. Each exam will consist of 20 multiple choice questions on the material related to the indicated chapters. There is no penalty for a wrong answer. It is therefore important that you give an answer to every question even if you have to make an educated guess. An exam formula sheet will be provided for each exam, which will also be available online for your reference throughout the course. If you need help consult your TA, the course administrator, or the Lecturer. Only scientific calculators may be used during the exams.

It is very important that you attend every recitation meeting and lecture. You must attend the section in which you are enrolled. If you miss a recitation because of any illness or other reasons, only ONE makeup during the semester will be allowed during the same week in a different section. To participate in a different section, you need permission via E-mail from the Recitation Course Assistant. Attendance in a different section without prior approval will result in ZERO credit for the recitation. In order to account for all types of absences, the Professor will drop the lowest recitation score at the end of the semester. The dropped score is not solely based on student performance; they also account for absences.

While you are encouraged to form collaborative learning and study groups with fellow students in this class, you are always expected to hand in your own work in this course. Responses to online assignments and exam questions must be exclusively your own work. In addition, sharing private course material (such as lecture slides, videos, assignments, etc.) on social media websites and the use of websites such as Chegg, CourseHero, Bartleby, etc. are strictly forbidden and is considered a violation of academic integrity, as defined by the Rutgers Office of Student Conduct. Any violations of these rules will be personally dealt with by the Professor and may lead to severe University disciplinary action. It is in the best interest of the students and the morale of the class to follow these rules and not to tolerate any departure from them by others. Any instances of academic dishonesty that takes place in this course must be reported to the Professor immediately.
