Class ID Number (CID)


You need to use your CID to get credit on your homework and labs.  If you do not have, or if you do not remember your CID for this class, please visit http://gardner.byu.edu/cid/.  With your CID you can check your scores online.

Quiz Remote


You will be issued a remote the second day of class.  You need to register your remote number to get credit for your quizzes.  Your five digit remote number can be found on a label in the battery compartment, probably following the letters TXC.  To register your remote, simply go to http://gardner.byu.edu/222su/quizid.html and fill out and submit the form.

Class Handouts


Class handouts are in adobe acrobat (.pdf) or web (.html) format.  If you do not have an adobe acrobat reader, you can download one here.  Web format documents will load faster, but acrobat files are better for printing.

Tutorial Lab

 


There isn't an "official" tutorial lab for physics 222.  Never-the-less, the T.A.s in the 121, 123, and 220 labs will usually be willing to help you, and every now and then they know the answer.  More importantly, the tutorial labs provide a good place to find other students to study and do homework with.  As such, I designate the 123 tutorial lab as the official hang out of physics 222 students, and I encourage you to find other students to work homework and study with.  You will learn more that way.
