Note I: Week #1,
8/27 to 8/31: This week at lab class, pick up a copy of the
Diagnostic Math Exam and computer answer form (or from Room 12 if you are
absent from lab). Do the exam at home, following the instructions at the top of
the exam, and return your completed computer form at lab the following week
(you should keep the exam itself). If you do not attend lab because of the
Monday holiday, illness, etc., the completed answer form should be returned to
the box labeled, “Physics 111 - Diagnostic Math Exams - completed answer forms”
in Room 12 by 5 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 6.
Note II: Monday,
Sept. 3: Students whose lab class normally meets on Monday are
not required to do experiment #N2 but ARE
REQUIRED to submit the completed answer form for the Diagnostic Math Exam
and to do the homework for experiment N2. The exam answer forms should be
placed in the box labeled, “Physics 111 - Diagnostic Math Exams - completed
answer forms” in Room 12 by 5 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 6. The homework for
experiment N2 should be submitted at your next lab class. These students are
also welcome to attend any other lab section on Tuesday through Thursday (which
has room for them) to do experiment N2. See the hours below. Simply ask the
instructor at the section that you choose to attend if there is room for you.
You may then give this work to your regular instructor at your next lab.
