James Scholar Assignments for PHYS 211

Details for how to turn in these assignments electronically (post-Spring Break) will be communicated to the JS students directly.

Each assignment is due by 5 p.m. on the specified due date. Late assignments will receive zero credit.

Assignments which do not conform to instructions below will also receive zero credit.

Each page of your submission must contain:

The problems are harder than the others in 211; however, we want you to give them your best!

Each problem (three problems per assignment) will be graded out of 10 points. You must maintain an average of about 8/10 in order to receive credit.

There will be 5 assignments, due every 2 or 3 weeks, and timed to avoid scheduling conflicts with hour exams.

Be sure to show a reasonable amount of your work. More is always better than less. If we ask for a numerical answer don't forget the units.

The solution might also involve submission of a graph. You may make the graphs with any software you want or submit the graph as hand-drawn. Don't forget to label the axes of the graphs with the variables plotted, and include units.

James Scholar Office Hours

Help on the James Scholar assignments will be provided by the James Scholar TA, Kristina Meier, during JS Office Hours according to the following schedule:

These JS office hours will be held remotely, with details communicated to the JS students directly by the James Scholar Teaching Assistant.
