Course Description:
General Physics II is a continuation of General Physics I. Many concepts from General
Physics I will be used in this course such as: position, velocity, acceleration, force, Newton’s
laws of motion, work and energy. The course uses high school algebra, geometry and
trigonometry, vectors and vector arithmetic, and calculus. In this course the student should
get familiar with the basic principles of wave propagation, acoustics, electricity, magnetism,
and electromagnetic waves. On line assignments and quizzes are delivered via McGraw-Hill
Connect Physics

The University is based on a liberal art program that offers an innovative model to train
Engineering, Computer Science and AP Physics (ASI students) combining sound
disciplinary knowledge with broader communication competences and interdisciplinary
perspectives.

 ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attendance has been shown to be a key factor in academic success. Any absence, regardless of the
reason, will prevent the student from getting the full benefit of the course. Therefore, students should
recognize the advantages of regular and punctual class attendance accept it as a personal
responsibility and apprise themselves of the consequences of poor attendance.

Policy: Absences are controlled by faculty members. The number of absences for whatever reason
(except as indicated in points 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3) is taken into account in the final grade.

1. Excused Absences: Students may be authorized by instructors to be absent from class for
institutional reasons as specified in 1.1, and 1.2 below. However, the instructor may deny the student
permission to be absent if the student’s academic performance is not judged to be adequate. Once
approved, these absences should not count in the student’s absence record. Instructors should be
informed before the absence to agree with the student on a suitable time and manner for a make up
should it be necessary. A maximum of three of these absences per semester could be authorized.
1.1 External Events: student must submit a completed and signed form from the Office of Student
Activities to the instructor. Examples of these absences include participation in university-sponsored
sports, cultural or other events as a University representative.
1.2 Field Trips as part of a class requirement or as authorized by a Dean: the Dean’s assistant of the
school offering or authorizing the trip should sign the absence request form.
1.3 In case of protracted illness or emergency condition necessitating hospitalization, students may
exceptionally appeal to the Dean of Student Affairs so as not to be dropped from a course. However,
extended illness may lead to the semester not being validated.
No other justification will be accepted. Students should be prepared in case they have to be absent for
personal or family reasons.

2. Impact of absences on grades: Each unauthorized absence shall result in one grade being
deducted from the class participation grade up to the limit set in section 3 below when a WF is
assigned.

3. Ceilings before a WF is assigned: When a student exceeds the ceiling given below, the instructor
may sign an administrative withdrawal form:
3.1 For classes which meet twice a week, this ceiling is set at 5 absences
3.2 For classes which meet three times a week, the ceiling is set at 7 absences
3.3 For classes which meet five times a week, the ceiling is set at 10 absences.

4. Pre-authorized absences: Notification of planned absences using the Absence Requests Form
available at the Student Activities Office must be delivered to the instructor, with permission signed
and dated by the instructor.
Once notified of planned absence, the instructor should inform the student of the deadline for
completion of any missed assignment or examination where applicable. Make-up examinations, if
necessary and acceptable to the instructor, shall be at a time and place mutually agreed upon by the
instructor and students.
4.1 Each week an email will be generated from the system to all students informing them about their
absence record. The Dean of Student Affairs or his representative will monitor the system and call in
students with an attendance problem and direct them to the proper assistance service.
4.2 During the Add and drop period, no absence is accepted in a course; add and drop should be
done outside class time.
4.3 In case of a late registration, students assume full responsibility for their absences as recorded
from the first day of classes.

5. Administrative Withdrawal
When a student has exceeded the maximum number of absences according to the mentioned ceiling
(except as stated in points 1.1 and 1.2); the instructor has the right to drop a student from a course
with a “WF” grade. Special hardship cases as stated in 1.3 above may be referred by the Dean of
Student Affairs to the Dean/Director’s appreciation.
The “Administrative withdrawal form” must reach the Registrar’s Office at least 5 days prior to the first
day of final exams
