Synopsis
This is the second of a two-semester sequence on Electromagnetism, covering 6-12 of Griffiths.

New Rule:
an algebraic solution to each problem MUST be accompanied by the dimensional analysis of the result. 

Without such an analysis, you will get no more than 75% of the credit, even if the solution is otherwise correct. On the other hand, if you do not know how to solve the problem but construct an approximate result, using the dimensional analysis, you may get up to 25% of the credit.

Grading policy

Here is a guideline for your final grade, as the percentage of the total number of points:
85-100 A
82-84  A-
65-81 B/B+
50-64 C/C+
40-49 D/D+
0-39 F

Depending on the overall performance of the class, these numbers may be lowered but not raised.

Academic Honesty
All students are required to abide by the Academic Honesty Guidelines accepted by the University. Consistent with university policy, any incident of academic dishonesty in this course will be reported to the Dean of Students Office. It is normal and reasonable for students in a Physics course to work together on homework assignments. However, following the normal practices of co-authorship accepted in academic institutions, yo must list all people who you collaborated with working on a particular assignment. This Instructor defines academic dishonesty as plagiarism (including copying solutions from Internet sources) fabricating information (for example, 'fixing" a solution so that it gives the correct answer), giving or receiving any unauthorized assistance on academic work, and interfering with the academic work of other students. Supplying a false or fabricated excuse for missed academic work is also academic dishonesty. If the incident is the student's first offense at UF, the student will receive a failing grade in PHY4324. If not, the Dean of Students Office will decide the appropriate sanction.
