Assignments and solutions will be posted in the glass case outside the lecture hall on Monday afternoon. Solutions will also be on reserve at the Engineering and Physical Sciences Library, and also posted as GIF files on the class web site. Homework will be returned in your recitation section the following week.
Homework is graded as follows.
Two problems, chosen after the assignment is collected, will be graded quantitatively on a scale of 0 to 10. Problem solving is an essential part of physics. It is not possible to learn the subject without working through the problems. The primary goal of recitation sections is to help you develop your problem-solving skills. The recitation belongs to you.
