Schedule of lectures, homework, & readings

  • NOTE (4/28/05): Final individual grades have been submitted to the Registrar's Office. You should be able to see them on line shortly at the Registrar's website, so I will not post them here. But you can see the Final Spreadsheet (without names) or final grade histogram. or the final exam histogram if you like. Enjoy your summer break!

  • NOTE (4/22/05): The histogram from exam3 is available here. This histogram also shows pre-final grades (i.e. grades prior to final exam). You can also see your official quiz average, Exam-3 grade, and pre-final course grade on the Current Grade Spreadsheet by clicking here. Each row in the spreadsheet corresponds to one student. The file contains only the grades, not the names. The rows are in random order; the students are not listed alphabetically or by UFID, SSN, etc. You should be able to figure out which row is yours, and from the data you can see where you stand in PHY4523. Let me know ASAP if you detect any errors or discrepancies. Some old, unreturned quizzes are available in an envelope outside my office (NPB 2362).

    Quiz, Exam, & Homework downloads


    Notes & Miscellaneous:
    You will need the PDF Reader to download quizzes, solutions, etc.
    Reading assignments should be completed concurrently. That is, you should engage in each reading assigment so that you are reading it during the assigned week and have completed it before Friday's class that week.
    Homework problems are strongly recommended, but not graded or collected unless indicated.
    Quizzes may occur at any time, although your instructor would prefer to announce them in advance.
    TBA or TBD: means "to be announced" or "to be determined"
