Schedule
  • Monday/Thursday lectures start Thursday, Sep 1.
  • Tuesday recitations start on Tuesday Sept 13.
  • Wednesday recitations start on Wednesday Sep 14.
  • The Friday recitation starts on Friday Sep 16.

In the first column "L" = Lecture, "R" = Recitation, "E" = Exam, "N" = No class, "Rev" = Review, and "TBA" = "To Be Announced."


LECTURES: Please complete the assigned reading before each lecture, and bring your iclicker with you to lecture. You will be asked to participate interactively throughout the lecture with the iclicker, and on occasion there will be a clicker-quiz question on a reading segment assigned by email a day in advance.

RECITATIONS: In the recitations, material from the previous two lectures will be discussed, and a quiz given on this material. The material discussed is covered by the homework due the following Monday, as described in the recitation box.

HOMEWORK: The online Mastering Physics homework assignments are given in the box for the corresponding recitation. The deadlines for completion of the homework are rigidly enforced by the online system.

EXAMS: The exams are common exams for the two lectures. Note that the hour exams during the semester are given in the late evening (NOT in class). Please check the dates and times and rooms carefully!
