There will be four one-hour tests and no final exam.
Four one-hour Tests
25% each
Note:
All tests/exam requires independent work. No make-up tests !!!
Unless the missing of the tests are due to the necessary URI
sanctioned travel (pre-approved by provost office). You may skip
the tests, but Test #4 is mandatory. The weight of the missing
exam(s) will be shifted to Test #4.
Computers and cell phones are not allowed in tests. During the
exam, instructors will only answer questions related to the problem
statement, not how to solve the problem. Home work will not be
graded. Group discussions are welcome for homework assignment. Many
of the class announcements will be made through the Sakai email.
Please keep your email address updated.
Print out the PPT lecture materials and take reasonably clear
lecture notes on the print out. DO (not read) book, blackboard and
homework problems before taking the exam. Please ask questions
inside and outside class!
Watch units and dimensions on all numerical problems.
Be sure you know the assumptions and restrictions of all
equations you use - one-dimensional, steady, constant thermal
properties, idea gas, open or closed system, etc.
