The hours for the physics help desk are now posted. They may change slightly in the next week or two, as the GTA's schedules may still change.

Note that all of the help center hours are in the afternoon/evening.

Course Syllabus and Official Information

Welcome to Physics 102!

The first thing you probably want to do is look at the course syllabus [PDF].

After that, perhaps you may want to look at:

Useful online information
Course calendar
Course notes
Join the facebook group

Facebook Group

My section of physics 102 now has a facebook group. It is a closed group (you need to request membership or be approved) and restricted to the Alabama network.

Most of the course information will still come from this site, but facebook seems to provide an easier mechanism for discussion and feedback.

Someting to note: using the 'feed friend' facebook application, you can subscribe to a news feed for this blog, and thereby get all of your ph102 info via facebook alone. Using this application will put a ph102 news feed right on your facebook home page. Very handy if you'd rather just check one site every day ...

Final grades are up ...

Check on myBama, I have just entered your final grades. If you have any questions, contact me by the end of Friday ...
