Grades
If you marked "Post" on your final exam, you will find your grade in this
class and your totals in each category contributing to that grade. Final
grades (and the descriptions of how they are calculated) are posted at PHYS121-F07.pdf.
Main handout
A description of the course procedures, materials, and grading.
Times
The times and places for lectures, sections, and the course center.
Class schedule
The detailed schedule for lectures, laboratories, tutorials, and exams showing
content, dates of exams, reading assignments and homework due dates.
Laboratory
Includes a guide to the character, structure, and requirements for the laboratory,
as well as the lab handouts.
Lecture Slides
The slides used in the PowerPoint presentations in lecture can be found here
in a format suitable for note-taking in lecture. The slides should (mostly)
be available the night before the lecture.
Old Exams
The exams from last year and this year's mid-semester makeup. (To be posted
at appropriate times.)
Readings and Links
Occasional reading assignments (assigned in homework) or links to useful websites,
and software used in class. Publicly available links will be on the "Readings
and Links" webpage in the open web. Other useful materials that I am allowed
to use in this class but not distribute publicly are in your blackboard
site. Be sure you know how to log in to this site as there will be some required
materials only made available there (such as homework solutions).
Homework
The weekly homework assignments can be obtained by clicking below.
Once the assignments have been collected, the HW page will be modified to include
access to the solutions. When this is done, late homework will no longer be accepted
and the posting will be indicated by an asterisk (*) below. Typically, solutions
will be posted on Sundays. Partial postings may be made, a problem at a time.
Solutions will be available on Blackboard after the due date.
