This is the first lecture in which we go over the web site, which serves
as the syllabus.  You are responsible for reading the syllabus.  This is
not a substitute for doing so.

The following are some important points from the web site which were 
emphasized in the lecture.  The points are listed by the headings on the
left side of the web site.

Announcements: Please check this section frequently for important information.
I will usually start lecture from the announcements page.  One of the
announcements presently up discusses that the cost of the textbook at some
of the local bookstores was too much.  The price should be about $60.
If it is more than that, you are paying too much.

Overview: Please send e-mail regarding the course to phy2049 AT phys.ufl.edu
We respond to e-mails to this address at least once a day.  Because all
the information is at one central location, we will not loose your e-mails.
Physics 1 is a prerequisite for Physics 2, and we will use Physics 1 
in solving problems.  Mathematics up through Calculus 2 is a prerequisite,
and Calculus 3 is a corequisite for this course.

Textbook: We are using the 8th edition of Halliday, Resnick, Walker.  (Physics
1 this semester is using the 9th edition.)  If took PHY2048 at UF using
WileyPlus, then you can use the same login for WileyPlus as for last 
semester.  You will have access to WileyPlus and the on-line textbook.
You do not need a new code for WileyPlus.  You can purchase a paper book at 
a local bookstore or anywhere else.  On the other hand, if you did not
take PHY2048 at UF, then you will need a WileyPlus access code specific
to UF.  There is a web site listed under the Textbook section to do this.
It is a little under $60 for both the code and the paper text, which will
be mailed to you.  You much purchase both at the same time.  It is not
possible to purchase just one of them at the UF discount.

Schedule: The schedule is color coded for homework, quizzes, and exams.
Please look now if you have any conflicts for the exams.  We follow the
UF policy for exam conflicts.

Sections: Just this morning we were able to add a new section (9882), which
is fortunate because the course was completely full.

Office Hours: There are several ways to get FREE high quality help in Physics.
First, all the teachers in the course have two office hours.  You can and
are encouraged to go to the office hours of any of the instructors - not
just your TA.  We have a good group of experienced TA's in this course.
There is also quality tutoring at the Teaching Center in Broward Hall
and from Tau Beta Pi as part of the Tutoring for Engineering Excellence
program.  There are links to both of these on this section of the web
site.  The Broward Hall center is open most of the day during the week,
and the Tau Beta Pi help sessions are scheduled before the homework is due
and before exams.

WileyPlus: There is on-line homework due nearly every Monday night at 9PM.
No extensions are given for this homework so you should not delay in
submitting your answers.  In particular do not wait until the last minute
to submit your answers.  If you have a technical problem, you will be out
of luck.  On the other hand, if you submit your answers well in advance
of the due date, then you have the time to overcome technical problems.

Register: You much register your remote to have your points associated
with your name.  The link for the web site to register as well as some
directions are given in this section.  We will start recording for 
keeps next Monday, August 30.  You also need to register for WileyPlus
via the link on the web site.  Please do this well in advance of the
due date because the first assignment is due on Labor Day, which is two weeks 
away.

Sakai E-Learning: Your grades for the quizzes as well as lecture notes/
PowerPoint slides will be posted to this web site.

Additional Homework: I wrote on the board: "The cure for TMI (Too Much 
Information) is understanding, which is attained by doing problems."
These are some extra (optional) problems that have solutions in the
Student Solutions Manual available in WileyPlus.

Grading Policy: This is a long section of the syllabus, and I encourage
you to read it very carefully so you are not surprised at the end of
the course.  Some key points are: The percentage cut-offs for different
grades are fixed.  The quizzes are based on, but not identical to, the
homework for that week.  Your score for the quiz*homework portion is created
by multiplying your quiz percentage times your homework percentage for each
week.  We want you to not only do the homework, but to learn and remember how
to solve problems.  There are no dropped exam scores, and there is a
cumulative make-up at the end of the semester for those who miss an exam
with a valid excuse.

Academic Honesty: There is no tolerance for cheating.  This includes
giving your remote to someone to use if you are not present for the class.
On exams, we will give you a formula sheet as part of the exam.  You are
not to bring in any additional sheets.  Calculators are allowed on the
exam, but not cell phones or any other wireless device.

Old Exams: We have almost 10 years of old exams on the web site.

Exam Solutions: We will post the solutions for this semester here - after 
the exam!
