Physics 1110, Fa 2003

Taking lecture notes is an important part of any class, but in Phys 1110, with the large number of concept tests, demos, and high level of interactive engagement, you may prefer to just concentrate on participating. So, I provide you here with a variety of "notes". I will try to get them here before lectures - feel free to print what you like, you can bring them with you to class if you like!

• DAILY SUMMARY and READINGS These are very brief - just one liners. (This may not update until after the lecture, for obvious reasons.) I will try to include your reading assignments here as well.
• CONCEPT-TESTS from the lectures (so you don't feel you have to write down the questions during class!!)
• LECTURE NOTES These are quite detailed. Since I don't generally "lecture", these are my own summary of the important concepts (with examples) for the chapter we're in. I want YOU to start coming up with your own summaries like this, so I will not continue to provide these all semester. But, I'll generate them for the first half of the course.
• ASSIGNMENTS from this week ( in case you miss a class or get confused about what's due when)
• PRETEST QUESTIONS These are pdf versions of the pretest questions you do before tutorials. One goal of each tutorial is that, by the time you're done, you should have a good understanding of what was on the pretest, and have developed some confidence and understanding of the material. Pretests are "up" only for a few days a week, so if you miss one (or just want to go back later and remind yourself of what it asked), you can find them here.

I would be very interested to know if you think this page is of any use, feedback is welcome!
