ODTÜClass Course [PHYS 106 All Sections] GENERAL PHYSICS II
The course activities are carried via this course.
(01) Weights: 1st midterm 25%; 2nd midterm 25%; final 40%; laboratory 10%; online homework 3% (bonus).
(02) Exams: Examinations will be held face-to-face. No online exam will be offered or made available to an individual student or
a group of students upon demand. It is students' ethical responsibility of not cheating and wrongdoing.
(03) Request for Make-up: A student is allowed to ask for a make-up for only single (i) exam or (ii) experiment missed due to a
documented excuse. For a missed exam a student must fill in the request form during the time period that will be announced
later. For a missed experiment follow the instructions in the ODTÜClass course [Phys 106, 112, 182 Labs] General Physics II Labs.
The student is responsible for providing documentation substantiating the reason for the request and it must be provided with
the request form as an attachment. A medical report must be given or approved by the METU Medical Center. The make-up
exam includes the whole course content. The grade of the make-up exam replaces the exam missed. The grade I (incomplete) is
given to students who missed more than one exam due to a documented excuse and they are required to take a face-to-face
exam which includes the all course content.
(04) Attendance: Middle East Technical University Rules and Regulations Governing Undergraduate Studies: ARTICLE 23 – (1)
Students must attend the theoretical and practical class hours, examinations and other academic studies as required by the
instructors. Class attendance and participation is an individual student responsibility. Students learn better if they attend the
lectures regularly. This semester no bonus credit will be given to attendance.
(05) Section Change Requests: Each student must register to the section assigned by the system already. Only students with
schedule conflicts are allowed to change the assigned section with another section with no conflict. Students must fill in the
request form during the time period that will be announced later. The section change is done only by the Department of
Physics.
(06) Laboratory: Laboratory sessions will be conducted face-to-face. To pass the course, laboratory work is compulsory. The
students must do ALL experiments and the average grade of all experiments must be 50 or greater. Missing even one
experiment or an average grade less than 50 will result in NA grade. The lab program, informing the students, grouping,
announcement of grades etc. will be carried out through ODTÜClass course [Phys 106, 112, 182 Labs] General Physics II Labs.
(07) Repeating Students: Repeating students with a previous average lab grade less than 50 are required to attend the lab.
Students completed all experiments with an average lab grade 50 or greater are not allowed to take the laboratory in this
semester and their previous laboratory (online or face-to-face) grades will be considered in letter grade assignment.
(08) Withdrawing/Dropping Students: If a student withdraws from or drops the course all grades of the student, including the
laboratory, become “invalid". Therefore, the laboratory grades for the semester a student withdrew from or dropped the course
cannot be counted. If you decide to withdraw from the course this semester, do not continue doing the lab work.
(09) Announcements: All announcements will be sent to students' METU e-mail addresses. It is students' responsibility to keep
their email addresses operative at all times. Students must check their e-mail addresses regularly in order to follow the
announcements.
(10) Online Homework: The Pearson | Mastering | Physics online homework system is used to assign hw problems. Students
with a hw grade between 50 and 100 will get a bonus credit between 1 and 3, respectively. Any student with a hw grade less
than 50 will get no bonus credits. It will be announced later how to register for the Mastering Course.
Note that the information given in this guideline may change. Do not miss any and follow the announcements.
