Handout 1st DAY OF CLASS  Friday 9/25

LABS (A group)   STARTS THE WEEK OF MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28.
Look in GOLD (your class schedule) to find out if you are in Lab Section A or B.

When do you go to your first lab? If you are enrolled in lab section A, scheduled to meet in Broida 2324, then you will have your first lab during the week of September 28.  If you are enrolled in lab section B, which is scheduled to meet in Broida 2324, then you should go to your first lab during the week of October 5. It is crucial to actually attend the lab  section in which you are officially enrolled, otherwise your TA will most likely never receive the proper grade sheet on which to record your grade.

NOTE: A word about email

Email is a great communication tool, but it can be abused. This is my email policy for Physics 6C:

* I will answer every email with questions about physics or the content of the course. Be aware, however,      that unless your question is extremely simple and specific, it would be much better for you to come and talk to me in person. If my office hours conflict with your schedule, you can always ask for an appointment, or drop by my office. If I am in my office, and not on the phone or in a meeting, I will definitely talk to you.

* If your question is not about physics, I will answer your email only if your question/request is reasonable. If the answer to your question can be found on this website, or was announced in class, I will ignore your email. Examples (from the past) of questions that I will not answer are

    * When is the final?
    * What book are we using?
    * Do I have lab this week?
    * Where does my lab meet?
    * I got a 50% on the midterm, can I still get an A for the course?
    * I don't have time to pick up the midterm. Can you look-up my score and e-mail it to me?
    * You gave me a C+ but I really need a B+ to keep my scholarship/get into medical school/not make
       my parents angry. Can I do some extra work to bring my grade up?

Basically, any request for special treatment will be ignored.
