Announcements PHYS17200 Fall 2008

     the Physics 172H final exam will be in

             Physics Room 114
                 7pm to 9pm
          Thursday, December 18, 2008.

Exam 1 will start a few minutes before 8pm Wed. October 1 when most people will have arrived at the rooms

This two-hour exam will end at 10pm

Seating is VERY tight, so depending on the first letter of your last name, go to one of the three assigned rooms (you can ignore the body counts):

Phys 331  seats 23     Letters A thru C = 22

MSEE B12        54                  D thru L = 74-22 = 52

Civil 1144      56                   M thru Z = 130-74 = 56

This semester there are two evening exams covering material that was covered in three exams last year.  Therefore part but not all of exam 2 is fair game for this year's exam 1 (which is on Wed. Oct. 1).

The material covered in our Exam 1 is up to and including Lecture 10, September 29.  This does include introductory lectures about Energy.

This SPS callout is Monday September 8 at 6:60 pm in Physics Room 112

There will be pizza and drinks, and a talk by Professor Shipsey

AS OF LATE AFTERNOON TUESDAY, August 26, a number of you have had trouble getting into Webassign.  Two possibilities are that

1) You are registered in this (closed) course, but somehow your name has
not gotten into the Webassign registry yet.  Dr Saxena can help you (see
below).

2) If you have already established a WebAssign account in another
 course this semester (say, in Mathematics), you will also need to contact
 Dr. Saxena (saxena@physics.purdue.edu). He will reset your password
 for your Physics 172H WebAssign account.  He will next be available on
 Wednesday morning.

  Once logged into WebAssign, you will need to enter your account number that was bundled with
 your Matter & Interactions text (or that you bought separately, maybe
 via the Web, if you have bought a used textbook without the webassign
 certificate. )

ITAP can't get the email notification list to work yet for Phys 172H   Please look at the quick Iclicker, chip, and webssign links on this course webpage for hopefully enough information to get going on all fronts, i.e. to be able to log into all necessary places.

1. Acquire the necessary course material:
   
   • Text book bundled with a coupon for free WebAssign account
   • Lab manual
   • i>Clicker - the remote control for quizzes (not a CPS pad!)
2. Register with CHIP using "Quick CHIP Login Info" available on your course WEB
   page. CHIP is used to keep and check your scores ad grades.
3. Register your i>Clicker with CHIP as described in "i>Clicker Registration"
   instructions available on your course WEB page. i>Clicker is used for participation in 'clicker questions' during lectures.
4. Register with WebAssign using "Quick WebAssign Login Info".
