Other resources

There is a Bates [College of Science] Study Center at the front of the building [08-1200]. A schedule of hours for physics tutors is posted outside the room. The physics tutoring schedule will be available at the link in the "table" at the top of the page once the schedule is set up.
You may also contact the Academic Support Center. The Academic Support Center is located in the Eastman Building on the second floor.  Services include Math Lab, Writing Lab, Study Skills, College Restoration Program, Academic Assessment, Learning Support Services, Academic Accommodations, Institute Testing Service, and Tutor Training. 

If you have any special needs, you should inform me during the first week of classes. Please contact me after class or at my office.

Problems will be assigned every week [Problem Set Requirements] some on paper to hand in and some on WebAssign. Solutions to the paper problem sets (and some of the WebAssign problems) will be available after the due date. Do work with others on the problem sets, but turn in your own work. If possible, come ask questions about material you don't understand before you turn in the problem set. Quizzes will be approximately weekly (usually on Thursday), and I will try to remember to announce them.

In addition, there will be "assignments". These will be exercises that we work on in class or conceptual questions that are posted to WebAssign. As long as you make a serious effort to answer these questions or to work on these exercises, you will receive full credit (whether your answer is right or wrong).
You are required to have received credit for Calculus I and must be enrolled in or have credit for Calculus II [credit or co-registration in 1016-282 or 1016-272 (273 is strongly recommended)] in order to take this course.
