COURSE OUTLINE               PHYSICS 621 (Section 101)                             Fall 2023 Class Schedule:  Class: Classical Electrodynamics Day and Time: Thursday and 6:00-8:50 pm Room: Faculty Memorial Hall 411   Delivery Mode: Face-to-Face (Delivery of instruction is structured around in-person classroom  meeting times. Instruction is delivered in person and students are expected to attend class).  CLASS SCHEDULE:   Phys 111  Day and Time:  Room:  General Information The goal of this class is to acquire enough knowledge and ability in classical electrodynamics (starting from  Coulomb’s law to Maxwell equations) to be able to apply them to research. Since this is a graduate-level EM  class, a proper understanding of the physical significance of the formulas is required, rather than memorizing  them. Basic Math knowledge (Vector analysis, differential equation, simple special function etc.) is a prerequisite.

D., “Classical Electrodynamics”, 3rd edition, J. Wiely is primarily used. David J. (Griffiths, “Introduction to Electrodynamics” 4th Edition  will be also used in conjunction with  Jackson book.)   2) Lecture Quiz; The Quiz is given at the beginning of the class.   3) Homework; Homework will be assigned weekly.   4)Midterm and Final Exam; The Midterm exam will be asked from Chapters 1-3, and the Final exam will be asked from Chapters 4– 6 (Depending on the situation, the Final exam will be asked from the whole area, Chapters 1-6). Review the slides and problems provided in the class.   Final Letter Grades: Here are the approximate weights to be used for calculating the composite score: • 80% for the midterm and final exams  (Only final or midterm + final, a better grade will be considered.) • 10% for the lecture quiz and homework work • 5%   for the attendance  • 5%   for the final report  The cutoff percentages for various letter grades will be:   Percentage Letter Grade > 80% A 75 - 80 B+ 70 – 75 B 65 - 70 C+ 55 - 65 C < 55 F  Final grades are not negotiable: A score of 79.99% is a B+, not an A.
