Physics 1120, Sp 2008

Taking lecture notes is an important part of any class. Your own notes can list own impressions of the important points and emphasis. Further, a given class period may deviate from prepared notes, due to class questions, etc. Your notes can capture what actually happened. However, we provide you here with a variety of notes.

  • DAILY SUMMARY and READINGS Very brief one-liners! Reading assignments are here too.
  • ASSIGNMENTS for this week ( in case you get confused about what's due when)
  • CONCEPT-TESTS : Solutions posted after class, so you don't have to write down the questions!
  • LECTURE NOTES : Detailed notes from Prof. Pollock (Fall 2007). Additional Optics Notes. (You can also see alternative lecture notes from Prof. Dubson here. (These are from a previous semester, different text but same content!)
  • PRETEST QUESTIONS These are 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 all those older pretests here also.
