Physics 232C Announcements

Welcome to Virtual University. PHY 232C is now open. The course syllabus can be viewed at http://www.pa.msu.edu/courses/2005summer/PHY232C/

All the reading and homework sets are on Lon-Capa. There are instructions for using Lon-Capa in the syllabus. There are weekly homework sets due on Thursdays at 5:00PM - the first assignment is due on May 19th. The homework is in a separate folder at the end of each chapter's reading assignment. NOTE: On Thursday, May 26th two homework sets are due (Chapters 2 and 3) and on Thursday, July 7th two homework sets are due (chapters 9 and 10). There is a help room staffed by Graduate Teaching Assistants in The Strosacker Learning Center, Room 1248 Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building. The help room will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Students should spend several hours per week, as needed, visiting the help room to work with other students and consult with teaching assistants. Both on and off campus students should visit the MSU campus for this purpose.

During help room hours, one graduate teaching assistant will provide online assistance via the post discussion option within Lon-Capa. Although you may get sufficient assistance on some of the less complicated questions via the "Post Discussion" option, you will get better service working with the graduate teaching assistants and other students in the help room.

The chapters referred to in the syllabus are from the online text, not the optional text which can be purchased at most local student bookstores.


There will be three midterms and one final exam given on the MSU campus - the dates, times and location are shown in the syllabus.
