Please see me if you are unsure. Physics, the most fundamental science, is a challenging subject, but is also very satisfying once mastered. We depend on your willingness to invest significant effort in order to master the ideas. However, we will do everything in our power to teach you efficiently, and to reveal the fun side of physics. It is important that you come to all classes in order to profit adequately from this course and to fulfill your responsibilities as a participant.
Excessive absences can result in a grade of incomplete.
The only way to learn to learn physics well is by using your knowledge in problem sets and in the laboratory. You will be assigned to one of the lab sections on the basis of a form to be distributed Wednesday. If you are unable to attend your scheduled laboratory for any reason, you must contact the instructor in advance to arrange to make it up. An optional physics clinic staffed by experienced and friendly physics majors will be run weekly on evenings to be announced. . The clinic can provide you with some help on the problem sets, but you are expected to have put in a significant effort on all problems before coming to the clinic.
