Schedule
for the future class topics and homework assignments is tentative and may change
during the semester!
The exam dates are less likely to change.
These tests cover topics previously covered in the lectures.
Please read assigned sections of your textbook (Young &
Freedman, University Physics 12th Edition Volume 1) before you come
to the lecture. They are shown below the lecture topics.
Web based MasteringPhysics (MP) homework assignments are
due on Wednesday by 6pm. Written homework assignments (Problem Set x) are due
at the workshop meetings on Friday, except for Problem Set 7 and 11 which are
due at the workshop meetings on March 4 and Wednesday, April 8, respectively.
Please turn them in to your graduate Teaching Assistant. Homework will not be
accepted after your Friday workshop. The homework due is shown below Wednesday
and Friday workshop topics.
