Physics 125 - General Physics II - Spring 2009

Homework assignments

    This semester, the homework grade will also include activities such as homework quizzes, reading quizzes, and activities which you will do during the discussion period on Tuesday.  Homework quizzes will be similar to a homework problem that you just turned in (perhaps with different numbers) which will test that you still know how to do the problem.  Reading quizzes might be given at the beginning of the lecture by Dr. Davies, to check that you read the textbook section that was assigned. (I will make the reading assignment very clear during the previous lecture.)  And the activities might be in groups, in the discussion section, where you work on worksheets to solve problems related to the homework.  The discussion period is also used to review additional problems and examples.  The purpose of these various additional activities is to get you engaged and active in learning the material. 

    Homework assignments are due at the beginning of the class period or discussion period, as indicated in this list. 
    This list will be updated as I assign the new problem sets each week.
