Sakai has the homework due each Tuesday in the 'Announcements', as well as eventually tests and your Test grades

News: For the Thursday Aug. 28 lecture, there is a taped lecture under 'Announcements' at Elearning Sakai as announced in class. You'll need to sign in using your gatorlink ID and password.

Useful Stuff: Here is a preliminary final exam formula sheet (click here)

You should know: The final (in our normal classroom Tuesday, Dec. 16, 3-5 pm) will be cumulative.

If you are considering a switch from phy2060 to phy2048, the sooner that you make the change the easier the change will be.

Here are some things to consider:

Are the examples and derivations in the lectures confusing and presented too fast?

Are the quizzes and homework unfamiliar or more difficult than you are comfortable with?

Are you disappointed with your quiz and homework scores?

Does the material seem very different from what you had in high school?

If most of the answers to these questions are "yes" then you should give some careful consideration to changing to phy2048.

If you decide to transfer to phy2048, please see an undergraduate advisor (they are listed at the bottom of the webpage at: http://www.phys.ufl.edu/academics/undergraduate/) as soon as is convenient.

The first test in phy2048 is scheduled for the evening of September 26 and you must take this test if you transfer.
