Maximum amount of bonus marks is 3% on final grade
![Page 12: PHYSICS 1P03 Introductory Mechanics Me: Dr. W. Okoń Office: ABB 150 E-mail: okon@physics.mcmaster.ca Office Hours: Wed @ 4-5 pm Thur @ 4-5 pm](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071716/56649eb35503460f94bba224/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The quizzes:
• Typically 4 questions:
3 on material from the last class
1 on the assigned reading for the current class
• Quizzes will be marked out of one less than the number of questions
• If you end up with an average of 125% on your quizzes, you can carry over the extra marks to your final exam
• You cannot get a final grade higher than a grade point of 12

Academic Integrity:
Examples of behaviour that will get you into trouble:
- Using someone else’s iClicker
- Looking anywhere other than at your quiz
- Writing after quiz is over
- Using a calculator on a quiz
- Getting someone else to write your quiz
- Cheating on final exam

Getting Help and Studying
•Discuss questions and problems with each other. Form study groups. Explaining a concept to someone else helps you think more deeply about it
•Physics Drop-In Center in basement of Thode Library is open 9:00 – 5:00 Monday to Friday
•WebCT discussion forums (with your peers and TAs)
•Moderated WebCT discussion forums (with a TA)
•Beginning of Thursday tutorial session (with a TA)
![Page 15: PHYSICS 1P03 Introductory Mechanics Me: Dr. W. Okoń Office: ABB 150 E-mail: okon@physics.mcmaster.ca Office Hours: Wed @ 4-5 pm Thur @ 4-5 pm](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071716/56649eb35503460f94bba224/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Missed a Quiz?
If you have a valid reason, go to the Office of the Associate Dean of your faculty and get a missed work form.
This will allow me to put the marks for the missed (written) quiz onto your final exam.
Bonus marks are a bonus, so you can’t get those back if you miss them the first time (quick quiz).
