PH213 Calendar Spring 2009

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.

Most homework must be submitted to the MasteringPhysics (Course ID MPJENSEN0023) 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. Some homework must be submitted in class. You may appeal your grade on computer submitted homework by submitting written solutions during the next lecture. I will post solutions to the textbook homework to the eLearn web site after the due date.
