Do not print this calendar or download documents far in advance. I will make changes throughout the term.

Reading should be done before lecture. Lab instructions should be printed and brought to lab.

All homework must be submitted to the MasteringPhysics web site by 11:55 p.m. on the date posted. Textbook homework (listed by chapter.number) from the exercises and problems section may have their numbers randomized. You may appeal your grade on textbook homework by submitting written solutions the next lecture. I will post solutions to the textbook homework to eLearn after the due date.
