Important Information
Help
·
You
are welcome to ask questions during my office hours and out of my office hours.
If you need help ask wherever you find me.
·
If
you try and could not get help, please e-mail or call for an appointment.
·
If my
door is closed and you need help, feel free to knock on the door and ask for assistances.
I will apologize if I really cannot help at that time.
Labs
·
All labs except for the
first lab, are “group work”
·
Bring an umbrella to all
the labs TO COVER THE INSTRUMENT. Labs will not be canceled because of rain.
·
Read lab handouts BEFORE
coming to the labs. You may save valuable time by doing computations before the
lab.
·
No late lab reports will
be accepted.
·
Please fill the “Peer
Evaluation” form included in the course packet only if you believe that one of
your colleagues did not participate enough. At the end of the quarter, I will
consider the forms that point to a certain student. In addition, I will give
higher weight to the evaluation of the group leaders.
Lectures
·
Lecture slides are not
meant to be comprehensive, I may add to them during my lectures.
·
This is a fast class;
you will be given a wide range of material over a short period of time. Missing
few lectures may be very hard to understand later.
·
The textbook is chosen
to help you understand lecture material deeper, and explore more subjects. I
will use some other sources and will mainly rely on my lectures and labs to
write exams.
Exams
·
A good part of the
exam is “True or False”. That is useful to cover almost all the subjects we
discussed. You will be asked about every subject.
·
I will not ask you to
define or prove any concept.
·
I will give you the
front page of each exam ahead of the exam, this way you know what equations and
information given.
Homework
·
No late homework will
be accepted, the answer will be posted soon after the deadline.
·
There will be at
least one homework each week. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING THE DEADLINE.
·
No homework left
anywhere else but the designated locker will be accepted. Any assignments left
in my mailbox or in my office will be returned un-graded.
·
The answers will be
posted on the web or by my door.
·
Answers do not have
to be typed, handwriting is accepted except for the situations when you are
directed otherwise.
Please
read the page on the web about what and when I expect the extra work. No late
work will be accepted.
You
do not have to do extra work. Not doing it will not affect your grade, I add
grades for the extra work after I assign all the grades.
