PHY 2049 - Physics 2 with Calculus - Spring 2015


Announcements



April 29

 Dear students: Your final exam and final scores for the course are posted on Canvas. In calculation of the final scores, we have adjusted (scaled up) your quiz points so that the new averages for all TAs are now the same as for the most generous TA who had the highest average before the adjustment. This ensures that no one gets penalized for having a tougher TA. Your grade will be based on the FINAL SCORE you see in Canvas. Please consult the "Grading Policy" link for the letter grade thresholds. As we state in the syllabus, no extra credits are possible.

We wish all of you to have a wonderful summer and very successful lives.

Profs. Korytov and Rinzler
