Syllabus for the course.
The Provost Office has put together a
Syllabus Attachment
to assist the student.
It lists and provides web links for many elements that are important
for a student.
Resources:
Assigned Textbook:
Cutnell & Johnson Physics,
D. Young and S. Stadler, 11th Edition, Wiley.
Equation Sheet:
While working on homework you can use any reference, however,
aim towards limiting your reference to the contents in the Equation Sheet.
Submission of Quizzes and Homework will
use SIU MyCourses.
Grades will be posted on
SIU MyCourses (password protected).
