Each HW /exam problem solution should include..

Each class period will be in the form of an interactive discussion, the class meetings will focus around a number of Concept Tests — short multiple-choice questions that focus on the more difficult concepts. The Concept Tests are meant to challenge you, they provide a form of continuous self-assessment and also give me important feedback. To answer the concept test we will be using i>clickers. These are available at the campus bookstore. Once you have the clicker you need to enroll on the clicker web site. Frequently asked questions about the i>clickers can be found here: Student FAQs .

Final exam: 12/8/08 11:30- 1:30. The final is closed book. It will cover chapters 26-34 with emphasis on chapters 32.6 – 34 in Knight (28 -32 in Serway)( circuits , Magnetic Forces and Fields, Sources of the Magnetic Field, Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law. You can bring a 8”x11” page with formulas only (written on one side of the page) Remember to bring your calculator. No cell phones are allowed.
