Aug. 26	Welcome to PHY2054! Lectures begin Tuesday, Aug. 26, in NPB 1001 (period 2 or 3). It is important to attend the discussion section you are registered for, otherwise your quiz scores will not be counted. HITT points and registration: Please register your remote on the HITT page. Once you provide your UFID and transmitter ID (6 digts on the back of your transmitter), the software will link your name to the transmitter and the points you accumulate will be assigned to your name. Otherwise, the points accumulate but we have no way to assign them to you. You can only use your HITT transmitter in one class period. (We allow the use of "SoftClick" to respond to in-class questions for optional extra credit. This allows you to enter responses on any web-enabled smart device with an internet connection rather than a remote. More information can be found on the HITT page.) Students with Disabilities: Please read the material on the Overview page, particularly the part about test accommodations. The class schedule shows the lecture schedule, exam dates, and on-line homework due dates. email should be sent only to phy2054 AT phys.ufl.edu so that both instructors see it. Discussion sections start Wednesday, August 27. The first homework assignment is due Monday, Sept. 8, by 10pm. To familiarize yourself with the HW system, make sure to exercise the trial HW0, which is due on Sep 1 (it will not be counted toward your final grade). Quizzes begin in the discussion sections in the week of September 8.
