Text: Cutnell & Johnson, Physics, Sixth Edition. We plan to cover portions of Chapter1 through 16, as time permits (Detailed Schedule)
Tests: Two "in-class" exams (one hour and 15 minutes each) and unannounced quizzes are planned. NO MAKE-UPS, if you miss one of the two exams, the final exam will count for it. If you complete the exam, it can not be replaced with the final exam.
