The tutorial lab is the place to go for help with concepts, homework assignments, exam preparation, etc. It (located in N304/362 ESC) employs roughly 15 teaching assistants (TAs) who each spend between 4 and 20 hours in the lab per week, so that there are usually at least two TAs in the lab at any one time. Several of these TAs (click here for a schedule) have been trained as Physics 121 specialists and have worked through the Physics 121 homework exercises, though any TA in the lab should be able to give you some assistance. Because we share the lab with Physics 106 you may have competition for the attention of the TAs just prior to the Physics 106 homework deadlines. Most mornings, particularly Saturdays, the room is virtually deserted. If you want quality time with your TAs, these are good times to get it.
Your instructor's office hours are MWF 12-1 pm (just after class). I am available by appointment at other times. Please feel welcome to visit with me during office hours. If you are struggling in the class I may be able to help you to make course corrections. However it is your responsibility to realize that you need help and to take advantage of the resources available to you.
Exam grade appeals are handled by the instructor during regular office hours or by special appointment. You can drop by any time with a physics question -- but please save your grade appeals for office hours. Written homework/lab appeals should be carefully written, stapled to the front of the original assignment (when such a document exists), and submitted to the Physics 121 Appeals box located below the homework/lab submission bins (across from N375 ESC).
