Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:  Demonstrate an understanding of basic force systems, vector algebra, and the classical laws that govern physical systems at rest.  Use acceptable methods of solving problems dealing with equilibrium of force systems.  Demonstrate the appropriate use of SI and USCS units for force and moment.  Calculate centroids, center of gravity, and the moment of inertia.  Sketch line loading, shear force, and moment diagrams.

of 4 Instructional Methods: Instructional methods for this class will consist of a lecture with class discussion and problem solving. The TCC Blackboard web site will be used to list homework information, course announcements, and course documents. The site also has a link that will allow you to communicate with the instructor and other students. You can access the TCC Blackboard web site from the TCC home page: www.tulsacc.edu . Always bring your textbook and calculator to class.

Attendance: Class attendance is expected and necessary in order to achieve a level of understanding and comprehension of the material. Roll will be taken at the beginning of each class and excessive absences will be reported.

Method of Evaluation: Your grade will be based on Exams and Homework. The maximum possible points are shown below:

Three exams @ 100 points each 300 points Final Exam 150 points The % of Homework points you earn 100 points Total 550 points

Grading system: The percentage of the 550 available points that you earn will determine your final letter grade according to the chart below:

90% - 100%: A 80% - 89%: B 70% - 79%: C 60% - 69%: D < 60%: F

Missed Exams: If you miss an exam, a make-up exam must be scheduled with the instructor and will be given through the testing center. Make-up exams must be taken within one week of the scheduled exam date. There is no make-up for the final exam.

Homework: Homework problems are worth 5 points each and will be assigned from the textbook. Assigned homework problems will be listed on the Blackboard website along with the submission deadline for each problem group. Homework may be submitted before the indicated deadline. An example problem and the homework format requirements are located on the website. One point will be deducted from each problem for each format violation and one point will be deducted from each problem for each day (or part of a day) the homework is late. Keeping your returned homework organized in a notebook will provide a reference for exam preparation and will provide evidence of your homework score if the need should arise. In addition to the assigned homework problems, the student is expected to keep current in reading the appropriate text sections. Extra credit problems may occasionally be offered.

of 4 COURSE WITHDRAWAL: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Contact the Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course (“W” grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for deadlines. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student.

COMMUNICATIONS: Email communications: All TCC students receive a designated “MyTCC” email address (ex: [email protected]). All communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be sent to your MyTCC email address; and you must use MyTCC email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course.

Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise, TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations. This information is also posted on the TCC website (www.tulsacc.edu).

GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS: General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge, and abilities that comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and personal lives. TCC’s General Education goals are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Engaged Learning, and Technological Proficiency.

CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE: Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and perspectives during classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher learning and to the ability to learn from each other. Use of any electronic device is at the discretion of the instructor.

SYLLABUS CHANGES: Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes to the syllabus in writing.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: TCC provides accommodations for qualifying students in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. For information, students may contact the disabled Student Resource Center, 918-595-7115, or the Resource Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, 918-595-7428V, 918-595-7434TTY.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:

. require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test; . Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question; . Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class; . Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.

Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such request to the Dean of Student Services.

INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, TCC Student Handbook, Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule.
