Course Text

Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Standard Version (5) by Paul Tipler, ISBN#0716783398
The EPGY Electricity and Magnetism course covers much of what is generally covered covered in a semester-length college electricity and magnetism course. The course prepares students to take the Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism AP exam. The course is designed to take about 16 weeks to complete on average.

Lectures

The course is divided into several lessons, most of which begin with a lecture presented as digitized audio accompanied by either handwritten or formatted text.

Exercises and Quizzes

After most lectures, students are asked to try some sample questions about the new material. Once they have some practice, they receive graded online quizzes. Often, students are asked to fill in steps of proofs of the theorems taught in the course.

Each week, students report their exercise and quiz scores to their instructor, who keeps detailed student records and identifies special problem areas.

Homework

Every lesson has a homework assignment from the textbook. Students should expect to spend between 5-10 hours per week completing all the online and offline course assignments.

Exams

At the end of each section of the course, students complete exams. Exams are done on paper, then entered on the computer. Students get immediate feedback on their answers.

At the end of the course, students take a final exam. Students are required to score over 85% on this exam or retake it. The course grade is largely based on the final exam grade.
