Department of Physics Courses: PHY 2048

PHY 2048 - Physics I with Calculus - Spring 2013

Announcements

9 May 2013	Attention: The final exam problem No.7 was missing word "elastically". Without this word in the problem, the right answer is "can't tell from information given" (rather than "20 m/s" which was keyed as the correct answer and which is the correct answer for an elastic collision). If you answered "can't tell from information given", your final exam score will get an extra point with respect to what has been posted. If you answered "20 m/s", your score will not be reduced. As the result, forty-four students will see their grades going up by one notch. It will take some time before you will see the change on ISIS.
2 May 2013	Attention students from sections 6542, 6839, and 14H6: The previous post of your final course scores did not include the last quiz which was posted on e-learning only recently. As of today 1:00 PM, all scores posted on e-learning are up to date. Apologies for the confusion.
1 May 2013	Final course scores are posted on e-learning. Consult the course syllabus to translate your score to the letter grade you earned.

9 April 2013	We have seen a few cases when WileyPlus has had difficulties with parsing HW problem answers in symbolic notations (SN). Therefore, we give the full credit for all assigned SN problems (two in HW5 and two in HW6). Your HW scores on the WileyPlus system have been updated.
2 April 2013	Exam 2 scores have been posted on e-learning.
27 March 2013	Answer keys for Exam 2 (and Exam 1) are available here.
21 March 2013	BEWARE: A few weeks ago, WileyPlus system has been updated with the new version of software, which apparently has a bug. If you print out homework problems ahead, you may find that numbers in the printed version are not the same as in the version asked for when later you log back in to enter your answers. We do not know if this happens often or not. One of our TAs has just encountered this problem and it has been confirmed by WileyPlus that they were already aware of this "printing out" issue, but probably would not be able to fix it before May. Please beware and check whether the problem numbers you see on the screen when you enter your answers match to the numbers in the earlier printed version that you used to work out these answers.
21 March 2013	A voluntary review session for Exam 2 will be held on Sunday, 3:00-5:00 pm, at NPB1001.
21 March 2013	Room assignments for Exam 2 are done by the first letter(s) of your last names: A -- La Carleton 100 Lb -- Ra NPB 1001 Rb -- We Turlington L007 Wf -- Z Fla. Gym 210

12 February 2013	Your exam scores have been posted on the e-learning. Our apologies to four students with last name Garcia: in the first attempt to upload exam grades, they did not line up properly for these four students. As of Feb 12, 9:30 PM, the scores are now properly assigned.
28 January 2013	Room assignments for Exam 1 are done by the first letter(s) of your last names: A -- Eh NORMAN 137 Ek -- Ker CLB C130 Kes -- Nod WEIMER 1064 Noe -- Sl MCCARTY C 100 Sm -- Z CSE A101
23 January 2013	Today you should have received an email with your trial HITT quiz scores. If you have not received the message, you either have not registered your HITT clicker or provided an invalid email address. You need to fix your HITT registration ASAP. The points appearing in the message from quizzes administered on Wed Jan 16, Fri Jan 18, Wed Jan 23 will not be counted toward your final HITT score. Beginning this Friday, Jan 25, the HITT responses will be counted toward your final grade (HITT quizzes will allow you to earn as many as 5 bonus points---see syllabus for details).
7 January 2013	Welcome to PHY2048! Physics is a lot of fun and we hope you will enjoy the course. This opening web page will have all current announcements. Please make sure to check it periodically, especially if you have happen to miss a lecture. The discussion sessions will start next week, from Monday Jan 14.
