Cross-campus evaluation of introductory course
As part of a cross-campus effort to evaluate introductory courses, students in PHYS 100 are invited to participate in the evaluation by completing the PHYS 100 WIDER Student Survey. Your responses will help the evaluation team learn about whether and why students find particular course activities helpful or not helpful so that these activities can be improved. Please note that:
- You must be 18 years or older to participate in this study
- Your participation is voluntary.
- Your responses are anonymous.
- Your instructor is not a member of the evaluation team.
- Your instructor will not see your responses, but only a general summary of the results of the survey.
- Your choice to participate or not does not affect your status in the course.
Welcome
Please see the course description for an explanation of how this course works. It may seem complicated at first, but all the pieces do work together to enhance understanding. The course description also gives important details on our policies for missed exams, labs & quizzes. Also, please consult the syllabus to help you keep track of what is due when.
i>clickers
We will be using i>clickers in every lecture. You can use either the older v1 or the newer v2 i>clickers. If you have not already done so, please register your clicker by visiting https://my.physics.illinois.edu/iclicker/. Having another student answer questions using your clicker is considered cheating.
Excused Absences
The only course components eligible to be issued a grade of EX are discussions, labs and exams (except for the final). Please submit your excused absence no later than 10 business days from your absence via the Excused Absences application. For more information, please read the course description page.
Safety Announcements
