The Fabulous Place for Physics 156
Find bugs, or be super, and make "money"
If you find typos, bugs, and any blatant imperfections, in a lecture note, or any course materials (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.
Quiz next Thursday
From now on, there will be a quiz on every Thursday, or more precisely, about a week after the solutions for the homework that you just submitted are posted. The idea is that students review my solutions and corroborate and expand their learning of the homework material that they just worked on. So, the quiz next Thursday (Apr. 14) will be on all materials related to the homework that you just turned in. [Also, this is why I cannot accept any late homework.]
Feel free to discuss by editing following pages, or creating your own page.
Some discussions for Homework #1.
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
Need to go back to the lovely course web site for lecture notes and stuff?
