GRADE CORRECTIONS Lecture 9: i>clicker
scores for the 2pm and 3pm lectures were initially graded incorrectly.
Corrected grades are now in the gradebook.
Scaled Exam 1: The raw exam average was
72%. The scaled scores have recently been corrected so that the
percentage scaled score is now equal to the percentage raw score, i.e., no
"scaling" was needed. |
FORMULA SHEET: REVISED!
The first page of the
old formula sheet will be available for
the first exam (only).
Note that for subsequent exams we will be using the new formula sheet
available on the practice exam page (and directly below).

DISCUSSION SECTION SNOW
ISSUES
Discussion TAs have been instructed to
give Excused Absences as quiz grades to students in discussion sections
cancelled due to the snow emergency: D2V, D2Y, D3B, D3C, D3G, D3N, D3S,
D3V.
We have also asked the TAs in those sections
to distribute copies of the quizzes they would have given, and discuss the
solutions to those quizzes during the first ten minutes of discussion
section next week.
Solutions to discussion problems worked
during sections are
always posted at the end of the week, so you will be able to see how to
do the problems you did not have an opportunity to work in class.

FIRST LECTURE ASSIGNMENTS
All students have been given full credit
for Prelecture 1, Preflight1 and Lecture 1. If you see a 1 for
Lecture 1 even though you answered some iclicker questions correctly, that
means that your i>clicker is not registered properly. To register
your i>clicker, first log in, and then click here.
The most common mistake is to enter either your UIN or your e-mail
address for the "student id". The student id MUST BE YOUR NETID

WELCOME TO PHYSICS 212
Please see the course description
for an explanation of how this course now works. It may seem a bit
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 lectures, exams, labs &
quizzes.
Note that the procedures for informing the course administration of excused
absences have changed. In particular, you will need to submit this form
whenever you are applying for an excused absence.
|
PLEASE
REGISTER YOUR i>CLICKER
We will be using i>clickers
in the lectures this semester. You may register your iclicker by first logging
in, and then clicking here.
The login insures that your netid will be used as your student
id. If you use something else (e.g.,UIN), we will not recognize your
registration
If you can't read your clicker number, take your i>clicker
to the Illini Union Bookstore (809 S. Wright). They have a setup near
the coat check that can determine your #.
