PLEASE
READ THIS THOROUGHLY SO THAT
I
DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER 150+ QUESTIONS ABOUT IT!!!
Thank you!!!
- HOMEWORK:
The homework will be done on-line at Mastering
Physics. If you've never
used it before,
bear in mind that, while I have used it, I'm certainly NOT
an expert on it. !
Thank you!!
I've set up our course
& a PRACTICE
ASSIGNMENT is posted. Instructions
on how to access
the site are below. The practice assignment
isn't for credit, but I want you to do it because it teaches you how to
use Mastering Physics.
It
is called "01. MasteringPhysics Intro".
It is important for you to do it, but I won't count
your score on it in your grade. If you do it, it won't
count, no matter what score you get. But, at the session's end, I'll
lower
your homework grade by 5% if you haven't done it. It should be open to
you once you have registered
on Mastering Physics, &
it will be closed (you
can no longer work on it!) after
Friday, September 4 at 11:30pm. This is the way it
will usually be for homework. I will ATTEMPT
to post assignments at about the same time we start a chapter. They
typically will be due
at 11:30pm about a week later
