Mastering Physics Problems
Registered students will be given access to Mastering Physics, an on-line tutorial and homework system. Students will do two problem sets per week on most weeks, for a total of 26 Problem Sets.
Note: OCW Users will not be able to access this material.
In-class Problem Solving
Problem solving sessions were conducted in class during the sessions noted in the table.
