Dear students in PHY 215B, Summer 2024!

You have received this message because you are enrolled in PHY 215B for
the Summer of 2024, here at Michigan State University. The class is
starting today, May 13th, Monday. You didn't miss anything yet.

Our text book is: Stephen Thornton, Andrew Rex, Carol Hood: Modern Physics
for Scientists and Engineers, Cengage, 5th edition. However, any previous
edition of this book is going to work for our class.

Please visit the loncapa.msu.edu page on the Net and log in using your
MSU NetID and password. Select the PHY 215B class. Find and read the
syllabus. This is the official syllabus of the class. The syllabus can
be viewed directly from my homepage at the web.pa.msu.edu/people/nagy_t/
address without logging in to LON-CAPA.

We will have weekly online quizzes on Fridays, weekly homework sets
due on Sunday nights. We will have a final exam online at the very end
of the semester. You can take the quizzes from anywhere using a computer
with a reliable network connection.

You are also encouraged to use the discussion board inside LON-CAPA.
If you don't understand a problem and you need help, then just click
on the "Post Discussion" link, and post your question. If you know
the answer to somebody else's question, then don't be afraid to post
your answer. Don't forget: The best way to learn is to teach.
(= Doscendo discimus.)

As Homework #0 you will find a folder with some problems in it. You
can solve these problems without any reading or studying of the
textbook. The purpose of these problems is to make sure you know how
to enter numbers and units as your answer in case you didn't use
LON-CAPA before.

Currently the enrollment is 13 students. This is a large group. The
highest enrollment in this class was 17, and the lowest was three.

Thank you and enjoy the class!
