<B>iClickers:</B><BR>
</P>
<P class="indent">
	We will be using iClickers this quarter as you have done in Physics 1-2.  Your iClicker points will be based purely
on participation.  You must register your iClickers if you have not done so already: <A HREF="http://www.iclicker.com/"> 
iClicker Website</A>  
</P>
<BR>

<P>
<B>Course Outline:</B><BR>
</P>

<P class="indent">
	Physics 3 is a continuation of Physics 1-2.  This quarter we will cover oscillations and waves, the electric field, 
Gauss' Law, and DC circuits.  The lectures will supplement the textbook; we will cover some sections in a different order and 
introduce extra examples.  The material covered in lecture will be emphasized on exams over material covered in the textbook.

<P>
<B>Grading:</B><BR>

<P class="indent">
	Grades will be based on participation, homeworks, and 2 exams:  <BR>

	If you inform me <U>before</U> the mid-term that you cannot take it, you will 
be excused and your grade will be based on the rest of the course.  If you do not inform me beforehand you will receive a 0.<BR>

<BR>

If you inform me <U>before</U> the  final that you cannot or will not take it, you will 
be excused and given an incomplete.  The incomplete can be completed by taking the final when Physics 3 is 
next offered, during the academic year or summer if you are able.  The final will be melded with your work this 
quarter and your incomplete transformed into a grade. If you do not take the makeup final the incomplete reverts 
to an F. If you do not inform me beforehand you will receive an F.
