General
This course is an optional supplement to the Physics I courses. It is intended to give you some additional insight in how to solve the kinds of problems that you will encounter in doing your homework and on the exams. We will go over various techniques and some general rules of thumb for solving physics problems. One thing that I won't do is your homework for you. However, I will be happy to use class time to help you get started on some of the more difficult problems. The hope is that this course will help you achieve a better grade in your Physics I course.
