Notes Regarding Schedule for Physics 108

  1. Homework will be due on Thursdays at midnight (although it is shown as Friday here).
  2. Having a test in another course on the same day will not excuse you from taking the tests in this course on schedule (although in extreme circumstances, such as an exam in Tucker from 12-1, a brief delay will be allowed). If there are any extracurricular activities which may conflict, please contact me as far in advance as possible. Make-up exams will be scheduled for the first class period after the in-class exam.
  3. The Labs start the week of January 28. It is very important for students to look over the lab before going to the lab session.
