Title: Physics 122: Fundamentals of Physics II

Main handout
A description of the course procedures, materials, and grading.
This is a "must read"! Many features of this class are different from traditional. You don't want to "wake up" in the middle of October and discover that you have inadvertently lost enough points to prevent you from getting an A!

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.
The clicker questions used in lecture will be put up at some point after the lecture.

Old Exams
The exams from previous years and this term's mid-semester makeups. (To be posted at appropriate times.)

Readings, Links, and Software
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 and solutions can be obtained by clicking below. Once the assignments have been collected, the HW solutions will be made available on your BlackBoard site. When this is done, late homework will no longer be accepted. Typically, solutions will be posted on Fridays. Partial postings may be made, a problem at a time.
