MasteringPhysics Homework System Class ID: MPKRAMER73187

Note: Due Dates in MP are accurate / Scores are not

Announcements:

• Welcome to the class! (1.8.08)
• Exams updated: Exam 1 now Feb 12 / Exam 2 now March 13 (2.1.08)
• Students in physics II may readjust their scoring if requested by the beginning of exam II and approved by the instructor. You could request dropping homework credit and make the exams worth more (like 27/27/32). Note that understanding homework is essential. Doing it helps you understand the physics and prepares you for exams. So having the homework count towards the grade helps encourage you to learn and be ready for exams (so you do better on exams as well). Hmm, why does whiteboarding count? I generally discourage any grade changes, but know that MP can be annoying at times. For those interested in adjusting scores, you may request it by providing a suggested weighting of scores. I'll examine the request and let
  you know if I approve it. Part of my decision is based on how you did in
  physics I. [emailed Feb 1] (2.6.08)
• Secret Grade Decoder Updated (4.11.08)

Formula Sheet to be included with Final

The formula sheet is included with the exam, but this is a preview. Please note what IS and IS NOT on the formula sheet. Not being there means that you are still responsible for the material, I just didn't write down the formula. I may entertain suggestions of additions, so you should look it over carefully before exam day.
