Directions for Assignment 3
Phys214 Spring 2020:
These directions are a little long. I tried to be
thorough. Please contact me with questions.
Your 3 examples are after these directions. You may not
discuss which examples you were assigned with anyone. This is your final exam
so these example are confidential information. It’s like a secret assignment.
You may not share without violating academic integrity.
You will need to look up the Tactics for your example in
the textbook. You are not required to rewrite the example or tactics but you
are required to reference the topic and tactics. For the example in the
PowerPoint a student’s paper would begin with:
“I created a concept question and problem based on
Example 17.10 from our textbook. The tactics the textbook suggests for this
type of problem are detailed in Problem-solving Strategy 17.1.“
1. Study the example and the textbook tactics for solving
the type of problem.
Create your problems. Your created problems may be
modeled on problems in the textbook or problems you find online, but they may
not be a copy with just the numbers or objects changed. You must reference any material you use.*
2. (20 pts) Create your own concept questions, like a “Stop
To Think” or a Clicker Question, that goes with each example.
3. (70 pts) Create your own example that goes with each
example you were given. Include a reference to where this would apply as part
of either an everyday work problem for a scientist or engineer or part of daily
life.
Solve your example using the tactics as described or
describe modification to the tactics you have used and that you feel helped you
solve the problem.
4. (10 pts) Discuss why you thought of this example and/or whether
you think the tactics described in the textbook to solve this type of problem
work or whether you would suggest changes to the tactics.
5. When you have completed your work upload your paper as a single
PDF or Word file to the dropbox for the assignment. If you do not know how to
create a PDF or Word file for your assignment please contact me and I will help
you. There are a number of free applications available.
I will be using Turnitin, Google, Chegg, CourseHero and other web
tools as I see fit enforce Academic Integrity on this final exam. Working as a
group and representing other people’s work as your own are violations of
academic integrity. This is a final exam so the penalties for violations of
Academic Integrity will be severe. I suggest that you limit your reading to the
textbook and hyperphysics so that you do not risk unintentional plagiarism. If
you are unfamiliar with the concept of unintentional plagiarism please learn
about it so you can protect yourself and your work.
