| Policies | Phys331 |
| Permissions
to change due day of
a homework or exam day could be
granted if the circumstances, in my opinion, warrant such change. Grading: I will grade your home works and exams as soon as possible. Once I have returned them, you will have a maximum of two weeks to dispute your grade. There is, however, no time limit to talk to me about them. Homework: You are encouraged to discuss homework problems with your classmates, but I expect that the work that you present to me for grading is your own. Exams: The content of each exam may vary as I see fit, but I let you know at least a week in advance. Exams are to be taken individually. Office Hours: I have an open door policy. Schedules: This web site will have the most up-to-date information about dates and content for home works and exams. |
| Philosophy | Phys331 |
| My
philosophy about taking a class is that you should take it in a
similar
way as you
would take a job in physics or any job for that matter. So, one
should
show up to work, work diligently in every assignment, and be prepared
for the challenges of the job. |
