As we close in on the end of the semester I encourage you to pay attention to opportunities that are still open for earning points in the class, particularly the remaining bonus points and late homework deadlines. We will not be offering any other extra credit or point-earning opportunities at the end of the semester beyond those that are already available to you.

  • Class Meetings
    • Lectures 26 and 27
    • Discussion 14/Quiz 10
    • Lab practical (at your regular lab meeting time)

Getting Started in Physics 102

Pandemic and Coronavirus statement

We are attempting to have as normal of a semester as possible during a global pandemic. I think it is important to remember that this is happening in the background of our learning this semester. This pandemic will affect us all in different ways and at different points in time throughout the semester. It is crucial that we are kind and empathetic toward ourselves and each other during this time. We need to be flexible and adaptable and we need to center caring for each other. Try not to compare yourself to others; you don't know what others are or are not going through (this is good advice even when we're not trying to get through a pandemic).

Your health and the health of your family, classmates, and your community is the most important thing. This includes both your physical and mental health. Please take advantage of the assignment drops and makeup opportunities, as well as office hours and campus resources (see our Mental Health page for a list of campus and community resources) as needed. In particular, if you find yourself having difficulty getting out of bed, finding motivation to do daily tasks and assignments, or otherwise are struggling this semester, please reach out to the Student Assistance Center to get connected with University resources that can help you.

Academic Integrity

All activities in this course, including documentation submitted for petition for an excused absence, are subject to the Academic Integrity rules as described in Article 1, Part 4, Academic Integrity, of the Student Code.
