Your letter grade should be available through E-learning according to the
grading scale of the course. Please note that E-learning seems to express
your total points as a percentage of the 100+5 points total possible rather than a raw
number of points, but the assigned grades were computed to our scale. Have a great summer! |

|
30-Apr-2014 |
The combined homework-quiz (HQ) scores have been finalized and uploaded to E-learning, including your calculated total HQ score out of 40 points. We have normalized the quiz scores from each TA to a common average before the calculation to account for some variation in their grading. |

|
28-Apr-2014 |
The final exam master answer key has been posted to E-learning.
The average for the exam is
posted here.
Your score for the Final Exam is also posted to E-learning. The comment
field has information about your answers (as with Exams 1 and 2).
Each number or dash corresponds, sequentially,
to a problem on the master final exam with the number correlating
to the answer you selected on the master exam, with only the first answer
(1) being correct. Please wait another day or two before homework-quiz grades are updated. |

|
25-Apr-2014 |
Please note that not all quiz grades have been entered into E-learning as they are still being graded. The combined homework-quiz scores were just refreshed, but if a quiz was missing as of this morning then it is not yet reflected in the HQ score. When quiz grades are finalized we will update E-learning again and post an announcement here. This is a manual process, so please be patient. The HQ score is not automatically updated. |

Dear Students: For the final exam we are spread across many rooms and the class just fits (every other seat, seating). You must go to the room to which you are assigned or we will run out of seats. IDs will be checked during the exam and if you are found to have gone to a room to which you were not assigned, you will be escorted to the right room (a potentially long walk across campus) with no opportunity to make up the lost time. GO TO THE ROOM TO WHICH YOU ARE ASSIGNED. Room assignments are by the FIRST INITIAL OF YOUR FAMILY NAME. Note that only CARL 0100 is a consecutive first initial I-S inclusive but this room also includes first initial Y.
CARL 0100: I-S, Y The make-up exam for PHY2048 will take place in the New Engineering Building in Room 0202 on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 during periods 10-11 (5:10 PM - 7:10 PM). You must have a confirmation e-mail from one of the instructors in order to be eligible to take it. If you missed exam 1 or exam 2 (with an excuse that you already provided) or have a prearranged excuse for missing the final exam, then you are on the list to be admitted to the make-up exam to substitute for the missing exam. The make-up exam is not a mechanism for improving a grade on a previously taken exam. Seating is too limited to permit this, so please don't ask. |

The final exam is coming up on Saturday, April 26th, 8:00-10:00pm.
Note that the exam is closed book.
We will provide a copy of Table 10-2 on the moments of
rotational inertia for several standard objects.
You are allowed to bring two 8.5x11in formula sheets handwritten by you, front and back. |

Homework*Quiz scores were updated on E-learning to Quiz 8. Please note that this is a manual process, and is not automatically computed by E-learning after your TA updates a quiz score. If there was no quizz score at the time the professors did the calculation (i.e. today), the combination will be lower than you expect for that HW*Quiz score until the next time we refresh grades. |

Solutions to Exam 2 and the master key have been posted to E-learning. Grades for Exam 2 are also posted to E-learning. The comment field has information about your answers (as with Exam 1). Each number or dash corresponds, sequentially, to a problem on master exam 2 with the number correlating to the answer they selected on the master exam, with only the first answer (1) being correct. Note that for problem 11 on the master exam (problem 7 on the solutions) we counted all answers as correct. |

For HW9, note that Problem 44 in Chapter 12 shows a plot on which you need to make an estimate of where something occurs. The point of relevance is where DEVIATION from the previous behavior occurs, which when the plot is blown up might be earlier than you judge. If you are confident in your approach, but get the wrong answer, try decreasing it by 2%. |
