Brief Handbook Description:	PHYS 1003 is the second part of an overview of physics at Junior level commenced in PHYS 1001 and PHYS 1002. Together with either PHYS 1001 or PHYS 1002 and 12 credit points of Junior Mathematics, PHYS 1003 provides the necessary background knowledge and practice of scientific skills for students who wish to enrol in intermediate units of study in physics, in the environmental, medical and life sciences, or in engineering. Course Aims: The focus of this unit is to introduce you to the key concepts in three foundation areas of physics: electromagnetism, fluids, and quantum phenomena, using technological applications familiar to students of engineering and the physical sciences, for example, the lift on aeroplane wings and metal detectors.  The unit is designed to help you develop appropriate methods of study that will allow you to become an independent learner, capable of organising new information into a coherent conceptual framework and applying it in both familiar and unfamiliar situations. In the accompanying laboratory segment, students are introduced to basic skills in the use of electrical measuring instruments and work in teams to plan, carry out and report on an independent scientific investigation.
Assumed Knowledge:	It is assumed that students have completed HSC Physics or PHYS 1001 or 1002 or 1901 or equivalent.<br/><br/>Recommended concurrent units of study are MATH100/1903 and MATH1005/1905.<br/><br/>PHYS1003 may not be counted with PHYS1004 or PHYS1902.

Lecturer/s:	Prof Green, Anne Dr Bryant, Julia A/Prof Wheatland, Mike
Timetable:	PHYS1003 Timetable
T&L Activities:	Students enrolled in any 6-credit point unit of study offered by the Faculty of Science should consider spending up to 12 hours per week on that unit during the 13 teaching weeks and the study vacation. In PHYS 1003 this involves: Lectures You will have 38 one-hour lectures divided into 3 lecture modules: Electricity and Magnetism (20 lectures) - electrostatics, electric charge, electric fields, Gauss's Law, electric potential, capacitance, electromagnetism. This module will be taught from the viewpoint of the operation of devices commonly used in the technical world. Fluids (6 lectures) - density, pressure, buoyancy, surface tension, flow, turbulence, viscocity. Quantum Physics (12 lectures) - atomic spectra, photons, wave nature of particles, potential wells and barriers, the hydrogen atom. The lectures are intended to guide you in your study of the textbook. Tutorials/Workshops You will have 12 one-hour Workshop tutorials based on and supporting the lecture modules. You will work in groups of four on a selection of qualitative and quantitative questions and problems, and investigate physical phenomena with demonstration apparatus. Tutors are present to assist you. Assignments You will be given 6 web-based MasteringPhysics sets of Assignment questions. MasteringPhysics provides questions that use a 'Socratic dialogue' - when you get stuck in answering a problem it offers a simpler problem and provides feedback tailored to your answers it also offers the opportunity to develop your understanding of concepts and your problem solving ability through compulsory assignment questions and optional extra questions Laboratory Work You will have 9 three-hour laboratory sessions: You will work in groups of three on a range of experiments, with tutors to assist You will work in groups of six on a project, with tutors to assist Your understanding of Circuits concepts introduced in the laboratory will be tested using the MasteringPhysics system Independent Study  You are expected to do up to 6 hours (per week) of independent study. Use this time to: read through and understand relevant sections of the textbook work through the assigned examples in the text attempt the MasteringPhysics questions study for the practice exam, circuits test and the final examination On-line exercise All students must complete an on-line exercise describing Scholarly versus non-scholarly resources before the Laboratory session in Week 9 of semester. This exercise is located at http://library.usyd.edu.au/elearning/learn/schvsnonsch/index.php"> http://library.usyd.edu.au/elearning/learn/schvsnonsch/index.php.  A digital certificate of completion must be saved and printed after completing the exercise and taken to the Lab session. This digital certificate can also be used for other units that have this requirement. In class activities: Lectures (38 @ 1 hr each) - 38 hours Workshop Tutorials (12 @ 1 hr each) - 12 hours Laboratory sessions (9 @ 3 hrs each) - 27 hours Total Hours: 77 Independent Study: 6 web-based MasteringPhysics sets (3 hr each) - 18 hours Reading of text for lectures (0.5 hr each) - 19 hours Reading of lecture notes after lectures (0.25 hr each) - 10 hours Revision and self-assessment (1 hr each week) - 13 hours Preparation for Laboratory sessions (0.5 hr each) - 5 hours Preparation for circuits test - 3 hours Outside work on Lab Project - 10 hours Library on-line exercise - 1 hours Total Hours: 79 You are now in control of your own study strategy, and as an adult learner it is up to you to devise a study plan that best suits you.  If you attend classes regularly and involve yourself in all of these learning experiences, you will gain a good understanding of the course work. This will have a considerable impact on your exam preparation and performance.    Good study habits are also very important - we offer some suggestions on our Learning Physics web page (http://sydney.edu.au/science/physics/current/learningphysics.shtml"> http://sydney.edu.au/science/physics/current/learningphysics.shtml). As preparation, you should read How to Succeed in Physics by Really Trying on pages vii - viii of the textbook, preferably before the start of semester. You should also read and understand Section 1.5, Uncertainty and Significant Figures, and Section 1.6, Estimates and Orders of Magnitude.

Assessment Description:	Assessment Assessment tasks are intended to allow you to demonstrate what you have learned related to the goals of this unit. They also serve to encourage you to work with the material, but should not dominate your approach to learning. See them as another learning activity, accompanying and complementing those listed earlier. You are responsible for understanding the University policy regarding assessment and examination, which can be found at http://www.usyd.edu.au/ab/policies/Assess_Exam_Coursework.pdf"> http://www.usyd.edu.au/ab/policies/Assess_Exam_Coursework.pdf Assessment of this unit of study is based on achievement of specific learning objectives (listed in the module outlines) demonstrated in a combination of assignments, tests examination and laboratory work. Satisfactory performance in all aspects of assessment is necessary to ensure a pass in this unit. Students in physics must be able to express themselves accurately by clear, efficient use of the English language in their written work. Spelling, grammar, punctuation and correct use of language will be taken into account when written reports and examination work are assessed. Students should refer to the University’s WriteSite (http://writesite.elearn.usyd.edu.au/"> http://writesite.elearn.usyd.edu.au/) if they are looking for guidance on grammar and other aspects of academic and professional writing.   Electricity and Magnetism - Assignment 1 and Tutorial Questions : Electricity and Magnetism - Assignment 2 and Tutorial Questions : Electricity and Magnetism - Assignment 3 and Tutorial Questions : Fluids - Assignment 4 and Tutorial Questions : Quantum Physics - Assignment 5 and Tutorial Questions: Quantum Physics - Assignment 6 and Tutorial Questions: Workshop Tutorials: Contributing to Workshop Tutorials is an important part of success in this Unit of Study.  We measure your contribution by collecting group answer sheets and assigning an overall mark for your work during the semester, up to 2% of your final grade.  To obtain full marks you must participate in at least 9 out of the 12 workshops.Laboratory Work - Circuits: Assessment in the laboratory is based on successful completion of laboratory work. For each Circuits laboratory session, you are awarded a mark for successfully completing each checkpoint.Laboratory Circuits test: This test is due at 7pm on 16 Sep using MasteringPhysics.  It is done in a similar manner to assignments but relates to concepts learned during your Circuits laboratory session.Laboratory Project: Laboratory Projects consist of proposals, laboratory work, oral and written reports, all of which are marked.  Full details are provided in the Laboratory Manual.Final Examination: A three-hour examination covering the material included in the unit of study is held at the end of the semester. You will be asked to write descriptive answers to questions, to explain physical principles and to answer quantitative questions, all aimed at demonstrating your progress in achieving the goals of the unit. Ability to memorise formulas and manipulate them without understanding the associated physics will not be rewarded. Note that you must bring your own non-programmable calculator to any Junior Physics examination. See the University policy on calculators at http://www.usyd.edu.au/current_students/student_administration/examinations/students.shtml#calculators
Grading:	Grade Type Description Standards Based Assessment Final grades in this unit are awarded at levels of HD for High Distinction, DI (previously D) for Distinction, CR for Credit, PS (previously P) for Pass and FA (previously F) for Fail as defined by University of Sydney Assessment Policy. Details of the Assessment Policy are available on the Policies website at http://sydney.edu.au/policies . Standards for grades in individual assessment tasks and the summative method for obtaining a final mark in the unit will be set out in a marking guide supplied by the unit coordinator.
Policies & Procedures:	Academic Dishonesty/Plagiarism We will NOT accept assessments that are simply copied. Copying the work of another person without acknowledgment is plagiarism and contrary to University policies on Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism  http://sydney.edu.au/ab/policies/Academic_Honesty_Cwk.pdf"> http://sydney.edu.au/ab/policies/Academic_Honesty_Cwk.pdf Academic Dishonesty means seeking to obtain or obtaining academic advantage (for example, in assessments) by dishonest or unfair means or knowingly assisting another student to do so.  Academic Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: (a)    recycling – that is, the resubmission for assessment of work that is the same, or substantially the same, as Work previously submitted for assessment in the same or in a different unit of study (except in the case of legitimate resubmission with the approval of the examiner for purposes of improvement); (b)    fabrication of data; (c)    the engagement of another person to complete or contribute to an assessment or examination in place of the student, whether for payment or otherwise or accepting such an engagement from another student; (d)    communication, whether by speaking or some other means, to other candidates during an examination; (e)    bringing into an examination forbidden material such as textbooks, notes, calculators or computers; (f)    attempting to read other student’s work during an examination; (g)    writing an examination or test paper, or consulting with another person about the examination or test, outside the confines of the examination room without permission; (h)    copying from other students during examinations; (i)     Inappropriate use of electronic devices to access information during examinations. Plagiarism means presenting another person’s work as one’s own work by presenting, copying or reproducing it without acknowledgement of the source. Plagiarism is a form of Academic Dishonesty, but is treated separately.  Plagiarism includes presenting work for assessment, publication, or otherwise, that includes: (a)    phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs or longer extracts from published or unpublished work (including from the Internet) without acknowledgement of the source; or (b)    the work of another person, without acknowledgement of the source and presented in a way that exceeds the boundaries of legitimate cooperation. Consideration of factors affecting your study If your academic performance in a Science Faculty unit of study is adversely affected by illness or some other serious event, such as an accident, you should notify the Faculty of Science Student Information Office (level 2 of the Carslaw building) within 7 days after the period for which consideration is sought, by completing an Application for Special Consideration with accompanying documentation.  This is especially important if you miss an examination. If you have another reason for the Science Faculty to take account of your circumstances - religious commitments, legal commitments (e.g. Jury duty), elite sporting or cultural commitments (representing the University, state or country), or Australian Defence Force commitments (e.g. Army Reserve) - you should notify the Faculty of Science Student Information Office (level 2 of the Carslaw building) at least 7 days BEFORE the period for which consideration is sought, by completing an Application for Special Arrangements with accompanying documentation. These two forms of Consideration should cover most allowable circumstances.  However, if you have another reason for requiring the School of Physics to take account of your circumstances, you should notify the School of Physics Student Services Office immediately. You should not submit an application of any type if there is no assessment associated with a missed class, or you have a reasonable opportunity to make up any work you missed. If, for example, you miss an assignment, an application for appropriate Consideration is required to allow late submission, but we do expect the assignment to be submitted.  Sometimes catching up may be impossible, in which case we will consider a pro-rata adjustment of your marks on the basis of an application for Consideration. Special Consideration or Special Arrangements To submit an application for Special Consideration or Special Arrangements you should: Obtain the appropriate Application pack from the Student Information Office of the Faculty of Science, the Faculty website at http://sydney.edu.au/cstudent/ug/forms.shtml"> http://sydney.edu.au/cstudent/ug/forms.shtml, or the Physics Student Services Office. Complete the forms and obtain whatever original documentary evidence is appropriate. Note especially that the Professional Practitioner's Certificate is essential for Special Consideration on grounds of serious illness - Medical Certificates will NOT be accepted. Take the original copy of all forms and documents, plus sufficient copies for each unit of study affected and yourself, to the Faculty of Science Student Information Office (NOT any other Faculty Office if you are seeking Consideration in a unit taught by Physics). They will sign/stamp both the original application form and the copies. In the case of Physics units, one copy of the documentation must then be submitted to the Physics Student Services Office. Keep one copy yourself. A formal decision on your application will be sent to your university email address within 14 days. Further details on University policy regarding Considerations can be found in policy documents entitled Assessment and Examination at the University Policy web site (http://sydney.edu.au/policy/"> http://sydney.edu.au/policy/). Students unsure what type of Consideration is appropriate, or unhappy with a Consideration decision, should consult the Physics Student Services Office. UNIVERSITY POLICIES For full details of applicable university policies and procedures, see the Policies Online site at http://sydney.edu.au/policy"> http://sydney.edu.au/policy Academic Policies relevant to student assessment, progression and coursework: Academic Honesty in Coursework. All students must submit a cover sheet for all assessment work that declares that the work is original and not plagiarised from the work of others. The University regards plagiarism as a form of academic misconduct, and has very strict rules that all students must adhere to. For information see the document defining academic honesty and plagiarism http://sydney.edu.au/ab/policies/Academic_Honesty_Cwk.pdf"> http://sydney.edu.au/ab/policies/Academic_Honesty_Cwk.pdf Coursework assessment and examination policy. The faculty policy is to use standards based assessment for units where grades are returned and criteria based assessment for Pass / Fail only units. Norm referenced assessment will only be used in exceptional circumstances and its use will need to be justified to the Undergraduate Studies Committee. Special consideration for illness or misadventure may be considered when an assessment component is severely affected. This policy gives the details of the information that is required to be submitted along with the appropriate procedures and forms (see link below). Special Arrangements for Examination and Assessment. In exceptional circumstances alternate arrangements for exams or assessment can be made. However concessions for outside work arrangements, holidays and travel, sporting and entertainment events will not normally be given. Start by going to the Faculty of Science Webpage, and downloading the ‘Special Consideration’ pack http://sydney.edu.au/science/cstudent/ug/forms.shtml#special_consideration"> http://sydney.edu.au/science/cstudent/ug/forms.shtml#special_consideration Student Appeals against Academic Decisions. Students have the right to appeal any academic decision made by a school or the faculty. The appeal must follow the appropriate procedure so that a fair hearing is obtained.
