Make sure your unique identifier is set to be your UNID, that is u followed by your seven digit number. You can get 30 days of free access to my course. Purchase access Purchase access online

How you can do well in this course You should spend at least 3 hours on prelectures and homework for every lecture! MAKE A GOOD EFFORT ON THE ONLINE ACTIVITIES. The last CheckPoint question is optional and is called “Lecture Thoughts.” I will study these before class and will adjust the lecture to your needs. PARTICIPATE IN LECTURE. You will learn more (and have more fun) from an active setting in which you participate with the instructor and your peers to probe your understanding of the fundamental principles. 3. DO THE HOMEWORK THE RIGHT WAY!!! To truly understand physics you must practice solving problems. Work on the homework on your own as far as possible. Then go to your discussion section, to learn techniques on how to solve problems and ask for hints that will help you finish your assignment. If you still need help, go to the help lab. Peer instruction is very much encouraged.

First Discussion Section: Diagnostic Exam The purpose of the diagnostic exam, taken at your first discussion section, is to identify students who would benefit from extra instruction before enrolling in PHYS2210. This extra instruction takes the form of a 3-credit hour class, PHYS1500. Score Recommendation 8 – 13 PHYS1500 not recommended 5 – 7 PHYS1500 0 – 4 PHYS1500 recommended
