- Discussion Sessions
- You must enroll in one of the 9 discussion sessions, which will focus on developing good problem solving ability.The discussion instructor will also collect and grade your homework
- Homework Assignments:
- Every week homework problems will be assigned, as from the Homework Assignments. Problems are to be returned in the lock-boxes located in the basement of the Physics building (from the classroom, go down two floors, the boxes are opposite the vending machines). Homework must be turned in by noon of the date indicated. Problems returned after the deadline will receive a grade of 0. Solutions to the homework problems will be posted in the hallway next to the classroom as well as on the Web
- You are encouraged to work together with fellow students to discuss homework concepts, and you are allowed to work out the solutions together. Each problem set handed in should include EITHER the honour pledge (if you did it by yourself) OR a statement indicating the name of the student with whom the work was done. Be aware that, when working together with a fellow student, you should actually attempt to solve the problems together, not just copy answers and solutions. Homework will count for 25% of the final grade.
