Mondays and Wednesdays, 2-4 pm
Wednesday 9:30-10:30 am

If my office hours aren't suitable, we can also meet by appointment. You are also welcome to stop by unannounced, but don't be disappointed if I'm out of my office briefly or if I can't talk for long at that moment. Good times to find me: between classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Bad times to find me: Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Help session scheduled for Wed. 22 March, 7 pm, Robeson 105

My apologies if these rules and penalties seem a little harsh. But please remember that with nearly 300 homeworks submitted each week, we must all do what we can to get them graded smoothly and efficiently.

• Please submit all homework for grading in the small sorter box outside Robeson 322 labelled "Sloan Physics 2305 - Submit new homework here." Homework submitted in the wrong sorter box may never be seen again!
• Problem sets are due Thursdays at noon, and they will be collected from the sorter box shortly afterward. Any homework submitted after collection (or in the wrong box) is late.
• Students should include their name and their special ID number on each page of their homework (and on all quizzes for that matter). Students who fail to do so will lose one point per assignment.
• The special ID number consists of 6 digits:
  The first two are from the last two of your section index number, i.e. 22, 23, 24 (for 8 am lecture), 34, 35, 36 (for 1 pm lecture), or 46, 47, 48 (for 4 pm lecture).
  The last four are the last four digits of your student ID number.
  In rare cases of identical numbers, new numbers will be assigned.
  e.g. Section 4134, student ID number 226-12-4542 --> 34-4542
• Homework should be on 8 1/2 x 11" loose-leaf paper. Don't use paper torn out of a spiral notebook (we can't stack it). And be sure to staple all sheets together. Penalty, 1 point (each).
• Two problems will be graded from each set. Each will be worth 5 points, for a total of 10. The general scale is:

  5 points		right answer, right method
  4 points		wrong answer, right method
  3 points		right or wrong answer, wrong method
  2 points		some effort by a reasonable method
  1 point		any effort (or right answer but no method)

  No partial credit is given for work after numerical values have been substituted for variables.
• Graded homework and quizzes will be placed in the appropriate sorter box, generally on Monday mornings.
• All unclaimed graded work still in the sorter box by the end of the weekend will be removed.
• Solutions to all homework will be posted on this webpage.
• Late policy: 10% per day. No credit for homework submitted after a set has been graded or solutions have been posted.

How to print these pages? The color scheme chosen here may look nice on the screen, but it will make most printers very unhappy, so before printing a page, do the following:

In Netscape, go to Edit - Preferences - Colors, set text to black, background to white, and check the box to override the colors specified in the document. Now print! Should look much nicer.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to View - Internet Options - General. First go to Colors and click off Use Windows Colors, set text to black, background to white. Then go to Accessibility and click on Ignore colors specified on Web Pages. Funny how everything is more complicated when using Microsoft products...

Note: Solutions to assigned problems cannot be printed (we have to obey copyright laws).
