James Scholar Credit

For those of you intending to use Physics 212 to satisfy your James Scholar requirement for an "honors" course, there are three things you must do:

  1. You must obtain an Honors Credit Learning Agreement from your college office. It must then be signed either by your PHYS 212 lecturer. The LAS James scholar program description can be found at http://www.las.uiuc.edu/students/honors/types/james/. Students in other colleges should consult their college office.
  2. Turn in the five James Scholar assignments listed below. The assignments will involve simple web-research, reading of articles, writing descriptions, and simple calculations. We hope you will find them thought-provoking, and that they give you a better appreciation for the wider application of electro-magnetism to some of the latest cutting edge research and technology.
  3. Remember to include your name, netID, and Discussion section on the top of the page! Please turn in your assignments into the Grading Box #9 labeled "Physics 212 James Scholars", located on the 2nd floor, in the interpass between Loomis and MRL (Materials Research Lab). Note that assignments must be neat and stapled together or they will not be graded.
