The Fabulous Place for Physics 156
Final Exam
The final exam will be on June 9, 12-3 PM, in our classroom. A crib sheet of the US letter size paper is allowed. You can fill both sides of it. Do remember the basic truth, though: the crib sheet is just for the peace of your mind, and the less you use it, the better it would be.
Often, the best way to study is to study backwards. What I mean is that you start from homework, quiz or any good problems found in the book, and then work your way backwards to lecture notes and book, as you find that you are not well equipped to handle certain problems. This way, you get to learn important things more easily. You get to appreciate the peaks (really important stuff) and the valleys (interesting stuff that you can take time to learn later) of the landscape. Of course, not all really important stuff may be in homework, for one reason or another, and so you do need to go through lecture notes and stuff as completely as you can, at some later point.

Find bugs, or be super, and make "money"
If you find typos, bugs, or any blatant imperfections, in a lecture note, or any course material (including the book!), or if you solve any non-trivial problem related to course work, even if it is not asked in a homework, let me know. I will give appropriate "extra credit" for that kind of good efforts or demonstrated excellence.

Hi, Class of Physics 156, this is a "wiki site" for this course.
If you register (i.e. create an account), then you will be able to create new pages and write stuff for communication. You will also be able to attach files (using "Attachments"). Visit the homework page below to see how you can link or use attachments in a page.
To create an account, follow the "Login" link above and then the "you can create one now" link or something like it. If you just want to read stuff, you do not need an account.
The communication can be for anything, but I think it will be primarily for the course work, like homework.
However, be sure to use your correct email address if you create an account here. I will be deleting and blocking accounts, if I don't recognize the email address.
After you create an account, you have to login. The login, right after the account creation, is not automatic.
Best, Sam
