 * <<color(Change)>>: Problem 3 is moved over to Homework 2, since technically we did not cover the angular momentum, yet. However, do not worry if you had already done this problem. The TA will be able to grade it already. So, you can submit your solution for problem 3 this week or the next week, and the grade for it will be applied to homework 2.

The grading scheme was as follows:

1d - 15 pts

2a - 15 pts
2b - 20 pts

As for other important rubric bits, the only thing that really stands out is that for part A of the first problem, if they didn't define their k-vector, they lost points, but then if they later defined it then I gave them the points for it there. It didn't happen often, but points for part A of the first problem are spread out for a handful of students.
