Course Syllabus contains important course information, schedule, and notes.

Lab Announcement contains important information about the labs.

Homework is done using the on-line homework and tutoring system WebAssign. Access codes are bundled with the textbooks in the bookstore. If you have already purchased your textbook, you can buy just the access code at the bookstore. Before accessing the first homework assignment you must log in to the WebAssign site and enter your access code – see instructions. Your WebAssign username is the same as your UK link blue username. Your WebAssign password is initially set to your UK link blue username. You should change your password immediately after logging in to WebAssign the first time.

For class participation, you must purchase a TurningPoint RF clicker. The clickers are bundled with the textbooks in the bookstore. If you have already purchased your textbook, you can buy just the clicker at the bookstore. Make sure you purchase the right clicker! You must then register your clicker.

Course Evaluations are an important (and mandatory!) component of our Department's instructional program. An on-line course evaluation system was developed to allow each student ample time to evaluate each component of the course and instructor, thus providing the Department with meaningful numerical scores and detailed commentary while minimizing the loss of instructional time in the classroom. The evaluation window for Fall 2009 will open on Wednesday, 18 November 2009 and close on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. To access the system during this time, simply go the Department of Physics Web page at www.pa.uky.edu and click on the link for Course Evaluations; then follow the instructions. You will need to use your student ID# to log into the system, and this will also allow us to monitor who has filled out evaluations. However, when you log-in you will be assigned a random number that will keep all your comments and scores anonymous.
