Lecture-Recitation TKH 300
Lecture and recitation attendance is mandatory. Each lecture will be followed by a recitation session devoted to solving key problems that illustrate the primary physics principles.
Examinations & Course Grade
There will be four examinations at regular intervals and a final examination. Regular homework assignments will have to be turned in and quizzes will be given periodically in the recitation section. Your overall course grade will be based on the following score distribution:
Exams I-IV 60% Final Exam 20% Homework & Quizzes 20%
Course grades will be assigned based on overall performance as follows:
A: 90-100% B: 80-89% C: 70-79% D: 60-69% F: 0-59%
The instructor reserves the right to modify and/or change the contents of the course, the schedule of the examinations I-IV.
