This is the only make up exam you will get. If you have missed more than one exam, then the scores for other earlier exams will be zero. There will be no make-up exam for the final exam.

You can now review the exam and look at the solutions. If you still have questions, please let us know.

| May 19 | Rabindra's office hours have been changed. Instead of having one of his office hours on Thursdays during period 2, this office hour has been moved to Wednesdays during period 2 (9:30 - 10:45). This will be the period directly before class.
|
| May 16 | Quizzes in discussion sections begin this week. Quizzes are based on the homeowork assignments due before them. Quiz 1 will be based on HW 1.
Old Exams are now posted on this course page. The best approach to studying for future exams is to take an example exam under test taking conditions without looking at the answer key. Only afterward look at the solutions to see what you got right and wrong. |

The class schedule shows the lecture material covered. There are three lectures (MWF, period 3, 11:00-12:15) and

PHY2048 and PHY2048L: Physics with Calculus 1 (PHY2048) and Physics 2048 Lab (PHY2048L) are separate and independent courses. For information about the Physics 2048 Lab go to the Physics Labs page. Students with Disabilities: Students requesting classroom accommodation for disabilities must first register with the Dean of Students Office (352-392-8565, www.dso.ufl.edu/drc).
