Notes Regarding Schedule for Physics 108

  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 12-1, 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 WebAssign at midnight on Thursdays (but is shown on Friday on this schedule); there is no homework due the week of an in-class test.
