PHILOSOPHY
Physics is considered the science underlying all of engineering, science
and technology. A thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts and
principles in Physics is essential in successful preparation of the students for the
careers in science and engineering. For all engineering majors, the Physics
course is foundational and their successful completion is a prerequisite to
entering and performing well in subsequent engineering discipline courses like
Engineering Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Electric Circuits, Electronics,
Electromagnetics, and Sound Engineering. This introductory physics course will
provide the students a broad, rigorous introduction and understanding of the
basic concepts and principles of Fluid Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Electricity
and Magnetism, Waves, Sounds, and Optics in a calculus-based approach. The
course also offers the opportunity to learn what makes our real world as it is and
to gain insights into the role Physics plays in our daily lives.

4. apply the concepts of electrical energy, Ohms Law and Kirchhoffs
Laws in the analysis of electric circuits consisting of resistors,
capacitors, and inductors; (Application)
5. explain the physics principles behind electromagnets, electric motors,
generators, and transformers;(Analysis)
6. describe and analyze the phenomenon of waves, sound, light, and
electromagnetic radiation; (Analysis)
7. discover, analyze, interpret and record important points in experiments
and write a proper laboratory report. (Synthesis)

Grading System
Grades will be given on a straight scale. The final course grade will be
based upon the major examinations (Preliminary, Midterm, Semi-final, and Final),
quizzes, homework, and laboratory performance. The weighting for each of these
is given below:

You are expected to answer correctly and completely at least 60% of the
items in all quizzes, homework, and examinations. This corresponds to the
passing grade of 75% using the formula:
(Score/Number of Items) x 62.5 + 37.5
Lectures
The lectures will focus on the introduction and motivation of new concepts,
deriving important results and formula, and solving sample problems. Take note
that the major reasons why students fail in this course are skipping the
class and not doing homework.Refer to the BSU Student norms of Conduct
regarding the attendance policy. You can secure the copy from the Office of the
Student Affairs (OSA) or from the Student Affairs Coordinator of the college.
ATTENDANCE
The students are expected to attend and participate in every scheduled
meeting because learning is motivated through discussion and demonstration of
the topics. Students are only allowed 12 hours to be absence. The instructor
reserves the right to drop you from the class should exceed this limits. Students
who come late for 15 minutes or more will be marked absent. Three (3) late will
be equivalent to one (1) hour absent. A DRP will be given only if the student is
officially drop the subject until midterm. Failure to drop the subject will mean a
grade of 5.0.
EXAMS
There will be four major exams. No permit, no exam. Every examination
will be in-class, close notes and books. The instructor will provide answer sheet.
During examination, you are required to come on time since it will start and end
as scheduled. You are only allowed to go out of the room until you pass your
answer sheet. Latecomers will not be given extension time. You should bring a
scientific calculator to the examinations. You are NOT allowed to share
calculators. Calculator found in a cellular phone is NOT allowed. Cheating in
whatever form during the exams will be given a score of zero (37.50%) in the
said exam. Refer to the BSU Students Norms of Conduct regarding cheating
during examination. No make-up or special exam will be given. Reasonable
excuse from failure to take the exam is acceptable only upon presentation of
proofs like medical certificate and authentic letter by parent/guardian and grade
will be the preceding and succeeding exams.
Quizzes on the other hand are short exams on topics that have been
discussed to evaluate what the students so far. All quizzes can be announced or
unannounced (surprise quiz) and no special quiz will be given. Missed quizzes
will earn 37.50% rating, in the case the student gives reasonable excuse in
missing a quiz that will not be included in the computation of grades. It is the
prerogative of the instructor to excuse a student from a missed quiz.
Homework
Homework is an integral and crucial part of this course. During the lecture,
a few example problems and solutions will be presented but your main problem
solving exercises will come from attempting the homework or problem sets. The
problems are chosen to provide a representative sample of the important
principles in each chapter. You should keep in mind that your final course grade
in the course is most strongly determined by the examinations, which will consist
largely of problems similar to those in the homework.
The exercises are assigned in the lecture and are due a week after. The
due dates are firm it is useless to try and persuade me to accept late
homework. The only exception is prolonged medical problem. However, you may
miss one homework set and still get the full credit since your lowest homework
grade which could be zero will be excluded from the final grade in the
homework. Homework should be handwritten (engineering lettering) using
black ink with final answers underlined.
Homework will be graded based on the following criteria:
80% - Content
20% - Presentation
My interpretation of the HONOR CODE requires that each of you submit
your own self-worked-out solution to the homework problem sets. You should
NOT copy or in other way use the final answer or near-to-final write-up of others.
However, you may discuss the homework with your classmates and ask for hints.
If you have worked out the solutions with others, you still need to write down and
submit ONLY what you understand.
Laboratory
This is a very important part of the course. The topics treated here may
sometimes occur a little bit easier than in the lecture or require additional
materials so it is important to come prepared.
Please take note the following rules:
1. Read the assigned experiment(s) BEFORE the lab begins and
bring all the required items.
