Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials |
While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the
ISBN number available through the course's academic department
where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore
and our online bookstore,
guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.
Approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the session you can use the link
below to see the list of books that have been selected by your instructor. If you have
any questions about the course materials listed, please contact your instructor or the academic
department directly.

Other Information about the Course |
Check Canvas for viewing access only, as early as 1/10/18.
This course is a continuation of PHYS106. It is a non-calculus study of the fundamental laws and properties of electricity, magnetism, geometrical, and physical optics. This course places emphasis on the mathematical solution of problems based on an understanding of the underlying physical phenomena.
Although this course is structured in an asynchronous, flexible style, there are deadlines to meet within the course of the semester, so be sure to check my Canvas Home Page for quiz and lab deadlines. Although you will not be required to log into the course space at any particular time of the day, I am available for questions and concerns on a regular basis, every day. I participate in the discussion forum regularly to guide and correct if necessary, AFTER ample time has been given for you to answer forum questions or to respond to comments from fellow classmates. If you have urgent or private questions or problems, please email me and I will respond promptly.
Quizzes are graded automatically and your grade will appear in the grade book, AFTER the quiz period has ended.
Exams are proctored and are given in the Bucks Testing Center. Partial credit may be given for exams after I receive your numbered work for each problem from the Testing Center.
If you are in a remote location and require a proctor for exams, YOU MUST SUBMIT A REMOTE PROCTOR FORM PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE ON CANVAS. THE COLLEGE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REJECT THE PROPOSED PROCTOR. See the information above in the Student Requirements section.
