Past news of persistent value

  • There was a very genuine and very nice question from rherren. While I provided my answer there on the forum site, I also felt that I must add something more substantial -- a new Section 8.3. Please check out my updated lecture note 8 at Lecture+! – 10:45AM, Jan 27, 2013

  • Updated office hours and TA discussion section schedules have been posted. Check them at Syllabus+. – 11:33PM, Jan 15, 2013

  • An email message to everyone in class, with the subject line "OH, homework, and quiz," has been sent out, on 10:22 AM, Jan 13, Sunday. It is the first email message sent directly from my computer, using my personal grading software – this is the way that all emails will be sent from me from now on. It is crucial that you are able to receive my email messages. If you indicated your preferred email addres in the questionnaire, then you will be receiving my emails at that address. If you did not receive the above mentioned email message sent out this morning, then it indicates a serious problem! If this is the case, then you must email me!Sam, 11:50AM, Jan 13, 2013

  • There is a new link HQ above -- please try it. If/when you ask questions related to homework on the forum, please use "homework" as a tag. – 8:41AM, Jan 18, 2013

  • Reading quiz is up. I recommend you to follow RQ link above. – 8:44AM, Jan 17, 2013

  • The first homework (Homework 1) is up! Be sure to read this before doing your homework. The actual link to homework site is given in the above "menubar" above as MP for your convenience. – 1:04PM, Jan 11, 2013

  • One TA discussion section time has changed. – 5:35PM, Jan 15, 2013

  • The office hour poll results shows that Tue 11-12, Wed 11-12, Fri 1-2 are the best solution (satisfying 85 students out of the total of 88 students who responded). These are my OHs (old ones are not valid). For today (Jan 15, Tuesday), my prior arrangment prevents me from having OH at 11. So, NO OH today from 11-12! Instead, I will be available from 3:30 to 4:30, today3:34AM, Jan 15, 2013

  • The second reading quiz is up. Here is the direct link to the quiz. Please expect new reading quiz one day before every lecture. – 10:56AM, Jan 10, 2013

  • Have you noticed that there is a Calendar link up there? It is a useful link where important in-class announcements and what is to come are noted. Try it out! – 12:41PM, Jan 09, 2013

  • Please make sure that you bring your clicker, for class 2 (tomorrow) and onward. However, if you do not have a clicker yet, do not get stressed about it during this week. In this first week, we will be just testing it.8:35PM, Jan 08, 2013

  • The first reading quiz is up. Please read this before you go there and do it. Here is the direct link to the quiz, which you can click once you have created an account here. – 2:29PM, Jan 08, 2013

  • Some students already contacted me regarding the textbook and the chapters to be covered. We will continue with Giancoli. The chapters that we will cover are, in the order that we will cover: 14-16, 32-35, 12, 13.

Past news of purely archival value

  • Homework solutions for sets 1 and 2 are posted. Solutions to set 1 are presumably those that you have already seen in MP. Solutions to set 2 include some notes from me at the beginning. Check them out at Lecture+! – 7:53AM, Jan 27, 2013

  • I have a review session set up. I am of the opinion that doing a review session only once (along with review materials uploaded on the web) may be better for everyone, and I am guessing that the time below is when almost everyone can come for the review session. However, if you are not able to participate in this review session, then, please email me individually. If there are many students who are not able to come to the Saturday review session, then I will try to do correct the situation.
    • Physiscs 5B review session

  • No reading quiz today, since reading quiz is a bit ahead of lecture. Please start reviewing! Read everything. "Reading backwards" is often a good strategy: practice exam first, and then read lecture notes, clicker quizzes, reading quizzes, books, etc. – 5:23AM, Jan 24, 2013

  • The last three problems for Homework 1 have been upgraded to the extra credit problems! – 12:39PM, Jan 16, 2013

  • No reading quiz today -- reading quiz is a bit ahead! But, please, keep on reading the book and my lecture notes. – 3:49AM, Jan 15, 2013

  • Please participate in the office hour poll. My tentative office hour schedules are no longer valid. – 11:17AM, Jan 13, 2013

  • Also, for those of you who did not yet do quiz 1, please do so by say 6 PM today. I like to finalize quiz 1, by marking the best answers. – 10:56AM, Jan 10, 2013

  • FAQ revamped! – 10:56AM, Jan 10, 2013
