Active participation in the class is a major component of learning. You will regularly work with other members of the class, often solving problems or doing labs in groups. Working in groups is also encouraged outside of class. Yet you still must show individual progress on individual assignments. Group work does not mean copying or plagiarizing.
Groups work together so that every individual learns.
This class is also founded on respect. Students and instructor must both be respectful of each other. You should be respectful of your fellow students, tutors, and the classroom environment, including equipment. Disrespect will not be tolerated. In order to succeed in this course and understand physics, you must make an effort to learn.
