(0) If you are web surfing to learn about your Spring physics course keep trying.  Not much is here yet but that will change.  Highlighted items are under 
     revision, or, in some cases, will be removed.  As they stand they do not apply for Spring 2005.  (3/17/2005)
(1) Highlighted items are are still under revision, or, in some cases, will be removed.  As they stand they do not apply for Spring 2005.   (4/18/2005)
(2) Welcome to Physics 220!  Let's have a great term.  (4/27/2005)
(3) Since there were not enough packets printed for all class members, you may temporarily access homework, the study guide, the sample examinations
     and "What Does it Mean to Integrate?" by clicking on the "Homework" link on the course title page.  (4/27/2005)
(4) The tutorial lab is not yet open, but will be open tomorrow (Thursday, April 28).  The schedule is being determined at this very moment and should be
     posted sometime this afternoon.  (4/27/2005)
(5) Because recent renovation of the tutorial lab is not quite complete, the lab will be unavailable for one more day (Tuesday, May 3) in order for some
     mechanical work to be done.  On that day the tutorial lab will meet in N362 ESC.  (4/29/2005)
(6) Earn two extra-credit homework points (the value of one homework problem) by being the first to inform me of any error you may discover in the packet
     (SG, SE, Labs or HW) or on the course webpage or its links (only those for which I am responsible).  (4/29/2005)
(7) At least some of the packets may be missing the document "Formulas and Chapter Summaries" which you will probably want to take to the Testing
     Center when you take your exams.  I have posted the document on this page (above, under Course Outline) in case you need to print a copy.

(8) Remember Test #2 is this week!  You may pick it up in the TC anytime between Wednesday, May 18, at noon and Friday, May 20 at noon.  It covers
     chapters 26, 27 and 28, basically capacitance, resistance and simple circuit analysis.  Good luck.  (5/18/2005)
(9) Since HW problem 17-1 requires information from the laboratory #7 which will not be available until noon on Saturday, May 21, some of you may have
     difficulty meeting the 7:45 am Monday deadline.  Therefore, for this problem only, the deadline is changed to 7:45 am on Wednesday, May 25.

(10)Due to lack of demand the number of hours that there will be a TA in the Walk-in Lab has been reduced.  For the remainder of the semester a TA will
     be in the lab each week only on Thursdays from noon until 2:00 pm and on Fridays from noon until 5:00 pm.  (5/26/2005)
(11)Three of you did not put CIDs on Exam #2.  Paul needs those numbers in order to submit your scores and return your exams.  Please see him in class
     Friday or tell your instructor.  (6/08/2005)
(12)On Unit Test #4, problem #32, the next to last problem, the datum C₂ = 5 μF should have been given but was not.  Please assume that value when you
     take the exam.  (6/10/05)
(13)The maximum possible score on the final was 41 (100%).  The class average score was 28.4 (69.3%).  There was one error on the final exam key
      (question #30).  As a consequence nine of you got one more point than was reported to you when you left the TC.  One of you received one fewer point. 
       (6/20/2005) 
(14)Those of you who were first to identify errors in the course materials have been given two bonus points per error.  These are entered as Quiz #11 points. 
      (6/20/2005)
(15)Grade calculations are completed.  Unless we have made errors, there will be no further adjustments to grades.  You may find the grade submitted by
      clicking the "Show Scores" button above.  However submitted grades of E, UW, W and I will all show up as E.  (4:30 pm, 6/21/2005)
