CLASS SCHEDULE, READING & HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS
This is the place where the tentative schedule containing the dates when topics are
covered in class, reading assignments, homework assignments, and tests will be posted.
I will update this regularly, adding assignments several lectures ahead of
time.
The homeworks are either from Mastering Physics
(MP) or written (WH) and are to be handed in during class. All Mastering Physics HWs are to be
finished by 11:40 AM of the day they are due. All HWs count towards
your grade unless explicitly noted. In
Mastering Physics, always answer numerical questions with 3 significant figures
unless the problem specifically requests that you do otherwise. CAUTION: Do not wait until the last
minute to work and submit your Mastering Physics homework. It is a computer-based system. Things go wrong
with computers. I will not accept "computer problems" as an
excuse for not being able to submit Mastering Physics homework on time.
