The Nuclear Energy lecture is cancelled for Spring 2020.
Instead, this day is held in reserve in case of unexpected
events. Probably, since we are not having live classes in
F101, the Induction topic will need to run long, so this
day may also be used to finish up Light: Wave or Particle.
Thanks, GBA.
26. T 4/28: Review for Test 3
TH 4/30: TEST #3 (lectures 18-26)
Contact your Recitation Instructor
by email to find our where and when
Test 3 will be returned
* If a new section starts in the middle of the last page
of your reading assignment, the reading assignment ends
at the beginning of that new section. Similarly, if a
new section starts in the middle of the first page of
your reading assignment, the assignment begins at the
beginning of that new section. Thanks. GBA
The Final Exam will take place as scheduled (by Zoom
meeting of course). The format of the Final Exam for
this Spring 2020 will no longer be 45 MC questions;
look for a Canvas announcement on the SUN before exam
week with information about the Final Exam format.
Thanks, GBA.
