Notes Regarding Schedule for Physics 102

  1. 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 10-11, a brief delay will be allowed). If there are any extracurricular activities which may conflict, please contact me as far in advance as possible.
  2. Homework is due via MasteringPhysics at midnight on Thursdays (but is shown on Friday on this schedule)
  3. All tests, and the Final Exam, are cumulative.
