Physics Course Intro Game

Regarding "homework" in Physics(H), students will typically...

• Never have any

• Spend hours on homework every night!

• Only need to study for tests

• Finish up class prob sets & read a "physics book"

Which of the following is NOT a topic we'll explore in this Physics course?

• Linear motion

• Electricity and magnetism

• Circular Motion & gravity

• Nuclear Chemistry

• Special Relativity & Quantum Mech

Will there be a comprehensive semester final in Physics?

• Oh yeah

• No way

• Only if the students are bad

• Only if the teacher is bad

We'll be learning most of the "physics" in this class by reading a textbook.

• Yes, bring that text everyday

• Mr. Martz only uses wikipedia

• Reading, sometimes; texbook, no

• Everything is hands-on, everyday

We just discussed rotational mechanics and you can't tell the difference between angular velocity, tangential velocity, and tangerine sorbet... you should:

• Just let it marinade - you'll get it later

• Ask your uncle - he took Physics in 1973

• Ask a question in class! Right away

• Google... "what is angstrom veloster"

You missed a Physics class... you should:

• Call Mr. Martz on his cell

• Ask next class, "did I miss anything?"

• Talk to your friends about what we did

• Use the web-agenda - check Schoology

• Complain at the end of the unit that your poor test grade was because you missed some class two weeks ago.

Pick the one we will NOT be doing in Physics this year...

• Science circuit booth

• Unit tests & semester final

• Physics book report

• Learning awesome stuff!

• Trick question; we're doing all of these.

What would happen if Mr. Martz finds your written work matches another student's?

• Nothing - you were "working in a group"

• Public humiliation

• In School Suspension

• Zero on assignment

You bomb a test... you can...

• Bribe Mr. Martz to get a B+... Caramel Macchiato

• Do "test corrections" to get an A

• Just get a good grade on the final - it overrides the rest of your grades

• Learn from the experience and prepare more for future tests. The worst unit test grade will be dropped at semester.

Regarding "late work"

• Due dates are just "suggestions"

• Turn it in for 1/2 credit

• No late work... ever

• Unit assignments won't be accepted for points after the unit test.
