Lectures |
will be held four times a week, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We will also arrange
an additional recitation section to discuss the homework.

|
Laboratory |
Labs do not begin the first week of classes but start in the week of August
27th, 2001. Lab is a course requirement and all students (except the ones with explicit
permission - see below) must attend. Please go to the lab web page,
http://www.physlab.gatech.edu, to read all about the policies and administrative
arrangements before the first lab meeting. Although each student's poorest lab grade is
dropped, skipping a total of three lab meetings will cause automatic failure.

|
Help Sessions |
The OMED/Physics Help Lab will begin operation for the Fall 2001 term
in room N209 (Howey Physics Building) on Monday, August 20, the help lab hours will
be Monday - Thursday, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. These are very good people. You are
strongly advised to deal with problems early and well in advance of quiz dates. If you
can't find me, take advantage of these people.

Homework |
Homework will be important in this class. It will be collected and selectively
graded.
