NOTE: This information only applies to you if you
are taking Physics 213 for Honors credit.
For
those of you intending to use Physics 213 to satisfy your James Scholar
requirement for an "honors" course, this is what you must do:
1. a. You must obtain an Honors
Credit Learning Agreement from your college office.
b. It
must then be signed by the PHYS 213
Course director (and returned by you to your college office).
The LAS James scholar program is
described here.
The Engineering James Scholar
program is described here (main JS page)
and here (specific info about the HCLA).
Students
in other colleges should consult their college office.
2. Complete the three James Scholar assignments
by the dates and times indicated next to each assignment (see below). The
assignments will involve simple web-research, reading of articles, and simple
calculations. We hope you will find them thought-provoking, and that they give
you a deeper appreciation for thermal phenomena and their implications/applications
to some of the latest cutting edge research and technology.
3. The expected assignment length is 1½ - 2 pages.
One short page is not sufficient.
It should be single-spaced, 12 point font (Times New Roman is preferred).
5. Your
assignments must be turned in electronically in PDF, TEXT, or Microsoft Word 2003 or later versions.
Deposit each
assignment here
by the dates given below.
The Subject should be “Your Name Physics 213 JS assignment #n”.
A word of advice:
If you find
that you do not have time to do the JS work, just don’t do it. You will only lose your JS standing. If you cheat, by copying or other method, you
stand to lose a lot more. (Yes, we have
caught JS cheaters recently.)
Plagiarism is a violation of university academic
integrity policies. If you are caught plagiarizing, you will be subject to
disciplinary action.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Due by 5:00 pm Thursday, Mar 17
2. Due by 5:00 pm Thursday, April 7
3. Due by 5:00 pm Saturday, April 30
You will be given JS credit if all
three assignments are completed satisfactorily.
