All assignments and dates are subject to change. You may need to hint your browser's "reload" button to get the most recent update.

Reading should be done before the topic is covered in class. Not all reading and homework material will be directly covered by the lecture.
Here is a link to Mastering Physics where you can do the online homework. The first time you log in you must register as a new student. There is a multi-digit access code that comes with new books or must be purchased online if you have a used book. There is a series of tutorial exercises in the first HW set that you should do to get familiar with the HW system.

Once you enter your access code, then select the COURSE ID which is MPRAUE80043.
Each problem can be attempted 4 times before it is counted wrong, although incorrectly answering a multiple choice question reduces your credit each time it is answered incorrectly.
Problems are usually assigned a point value equal to the number of parts in the problem though some problems have been given more.
Late submissions are accepted up to 1 day late for half credit.
All assignments are due at 9:00 AM on the due date unless otherwise noted.
