All sections will meet the first week of classes. TAs are there to help you with the concepts, and in particular to solve homework problems. There will be NO QUIZZES in the discussion sections. Just work on homework problems. If you don't come to discussion because you are not having any difficulties, then that's great. If you don't come because you think the TA is not doing a very good job, please let me know. TAs need to learn how to teach, and I will keep your advice in strict confidence, and then will work with the TA to make it more useful. If you don't come because you have other reasons, that's your business, you won't be penialized directly. Note, however, that doing well in this course is really dependent upon understanding the lectures and the homework.
Student should not expect to become familier with the course material just by attending lectures. Prepare for lectures by reading the assigned material. Student should read the listed material before coming to classes.
Homework will consist of problems assigned for each chapter. It will be assigned and submitted via computer.
Background information about the methodology of problem sessions on the web can be obtained by consulting www.webassign.net.
Solutions to the WebAssign problems can be found at
www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys270/skuja/homework/homework.html
When solving WebAssign problems, examine what material the problem is covering, what basic ideas you must use to solve the problem.
