Homework:

Homework will be due each Friday in the Physics 249 mailbox by 5 pm. The mailbox is on the first floor of Sterling Hall.
Solutions will be posted on the physics library webpage for our class.
Late homework is not accepted.
Each homework problem is worth 0-3 points and will be graded according to the following scale:
0 = insufficient to merit points,
1 = tried but little progress,
2 = on the right path but significant errors,
3 = correct or only minor errors.
We will drop your lowest homework score. Labs will be graded on the same scale, and we will drop your lowest lab grade.:
