4 Physics 4304 Email Distribution List!
It is VERY important that you have an address & that I have it!!! I will use the distribution list to make important class announcements!!! It is VERY important that you check your DAILY!!! (PLEASE tell me if you change address!)

5 Assignment Number 1 Due 5pm, Wednesday, January 19, 2011!!!
20 extra points towards your homework grade!! Send me an message: Be sure to include your name & Physics 4304 in the message. address: Due 5pm, Wednesday, January 19, 2011!!!

6 Where to Go for Help?? Your Fellow Students!!!
A very effective strategy is to work on homework and to study for exams together in a group. This is how professionals work in the “real world”. Me (office hours or not!) The Internet!!! There are LARGE numbers of Classical Mechanics Help sites! Using Google.com & typing in “Classical Mechanics Help” gives 64 hits!!!! Class Web Page!

7 To Succeed in this Course
See the document: “How to Succeed in Mechanics by Really Trying”! READ the book, which cost you many $$$! It’s most effective to read the material BEFORE I lecture over it. WORK the assigned homework problems!! No looking at solutions from previous years! That is CHEATING! Copying the solutions will NOT teach you physics! WORK extra problems!

8 To Succeed in this Course
COME TO CLASS!! There is a correlation between attendance & grade! Also, skipping means that you are WASTING the tuition & fees that you (or someone) paid! With tuition & fees for a full-time student, each class meeting costs about $ Each time you skip, you are throwing away $18.50!! After a while this adds up! My lectures may not be entertaining or brilliant, but I do expose you to the material. ATTENDANCE!!! THE WEEKEND DOESN’T BEGIN THURSDAY (or end Monday)!!!! FRIDAY IS A REGULAR CLASS DAY (as is Monday)!!!
