Objectives

The objectives of the revised course content are to teach students Mechanics, Wave Theory, and Electromagnetism.

Grading

B = max{30%A + 80%Τ, 100%Τ}

• B = final grade
• A = homework grade (optional)
• T = final exame grade

Collaboration

Students must reach their own understanding of the problems and discover a path to their solutions. During this time, discussions with friends/classmates are encouraged. However, when the time comes to solve an assignment, such discussions are no longer appropriate -- the solution must be your own work (although you may ask the instructor or the teaching assistants for help). Do not, under any circumstances, copy another person's work. Such an attempt is considered as an academic fraud and will be dealt with harshly.

Collaboration during final exams is not acceptable and results in failure in the course.

Copying assignment solutions from others or any other source (internet, etc.) results in A = 0.0, for all students involved in the process.
