Date Info
6/14
  • All regrades are done and can be picked up in Laura Clement's office starting at 1:30pm today.
  • Your finals are also ready for pickup in Laura's office. She tells me she will hold on to them through the summer so you can pick them up at the start of the Autumn quarter if you wish.
  • Your final grades are now posted on Tycho and should be on STAR in a few days.
  • Have a fantastic summer!
6/8 Solutions for the final are posted!
6/2
  • I've posted solutions for exam 3!
  • The simple LC Circuit Problem has been fixed and should work just fine now. In many cases, if you already have the answer entered, you need only re-enter the number.
5/31 I've posted info sheet for the final, a short review of the new material since exam 3, and a sample exam. I've not posted a list of problems yet; I didn't bring my text book to Chicago with me. I'll try to get those up by Tuesday evening, after I've returned to Seattle.
5/27 I've updated the PDF of all clicker questions!
5/24 I have posted a info sheet, a short review, and a sample exam for Midterm #3.
5/18 Turns out they were able to remove part "d" of the Thin Walls of Current problem on this week's homework! So, don't look for it; it isn't there. :-)
5/12
  • Problem 6 on Exam 2 is *BAD*. I have the answer as being rho*4, the right answer is rho/4. In order to fix this I am going to remove problem 6 from the grading completely. So the total points will go down by 5 points. The solutions have been updated to reflect this as well. Sorry!
  • I have posted a PDF that contains all the Clicker Questions on the Clicker page!. Please bug me if I don't keep this up to date!
5/10 I have added exam solutions for exam 2.
5/3
  • I have finally posted the list of problems. I looked through the back of the chapters and just listed everything I thought you should be able to do (I didn't look at the general section). The problems are listed on the last page of the short exam review.
  • Someone asked me about tutoring. Here is what I found out from our Department's undergraduate advisor.
4/30
4/17 I made a mistake in the solution for #8 on exam 1. I had the explanation right, but for some reason circled D instead of C!
4/16 Solutions to Exam 1 are posted!
4/13 I have posted a practice exam (no solutions). Also a short topical review and some basic info.
4/6 Got word yesterday morning (as announced in class) that clickers are in at the bookstore. Please pick on up -- they will count on Wed's lecture!
4/1 Register your class Clicker! This will tell me who has what clicker so I can make sure to give you the extra credit. You can also control what 3 letters are displayed on the screen when you answer.
3/30
  • First three weeks of homework has been posted!
  • I've checked now -- all the Tutorials and the labs on the reading schedule are correct. That schedule should be final!
3/28 Welcome to 122A! Check out the navigation bar at the top of the page to get to where you need to go.
  • There is a web page with lab specific info. Please do well on the labs. They are worth 20% of your grade. Poor performance on the labs are at the root of about 80% of the final course grade questions I got last time!!
  • Office Hours will be Tu 3:30-4:30 pm in the Study Center, W 10:00-11:00. If you want to meet any other time feel free to drop by or contact me.
  • There may still be a few changes to the reading -- but they will be things like the tutorial topics or order of the labs. We'll do our best to notify you when we update that page.
