Greetings PHYS 102!
Welcome to the end of the semester! We have a few important announcments for you as we complete the semester:
- Make sure you have a reservation for your final exam: https://cbtf.engr.illinois.edu/
- Make sure you read the important announcements from the CBTF that were sent to you today: https://emails.illinois.edu/newsletter/1979202836.html
- Please fill out the Learning Assistant (LA) Program Survey in flipitphysics
If you are missing bonus entries in the grade book for our Lecture Polls, this has most likely occurred because you were not signed in with your UIUC Zoom account. I'm working on trying to remedy this situation.
I've extended the deadline on the Lecture 22 through Lecture 26 One-Minute Papers until 5:00 PM Wednesday 9 December 2020 (the last day of class).
