Students will be given weekly reading assignments and homework problems. Reading assignments and homework problems are fundamental to the student's success in understanding the material. In particular, the homework problems will develop the student's ability to visualize the nature of the physical problem at hand and to develop the corresponding mathematical description leading to a solution. Students are expected to read the assigned material prior to the corresponding lecture.
Homework assignments will be posted weekly on the web page for the class. Three or more problems will be assigned each week, some of which (those in bold red font) must be turned in for credit. Only one of the required problems will be graded. Homework assignments are due by the end of class every Friday. No late homework assignments will be accepted.
Your solutions to homework problems should:
a) include definition of the problem;
b) show clearly the solution procedure; and
c) present and highlight (i.e., in a box) the answers with appropriate units.
You are encouraged to work with others; however, the work you turn in must be your own.
Academic Integrity and Honor Pledge
This course will adhere to the Academic Integrity Policy of the Colorado State University General Catalog and the Student Conduct Code. Accordingly, we will use an honor pledge as indicated below.
The honor pledge will be:
“I pledge that I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance.” and “I pledge that I will not give, receive, or use any unauthorized assistance.”
