  • SW = Sound Waves
  • WO = Wave Optics
  • RO = Ray Optics
  • CF = Coulomb Force (Electrostatic Force)

Zoom Links to Lectures and Recitations

Lectures

There will be five 2 hour lectures on weekdays. Every lecture session will start at 9 am and go until about 10:50 am. Participation points will be given authomatically after you've been in the zoom session for >40 min out of the 50 min lecture.

Password: The password can be found on the course Canvas page. 

The password cannot be published here because this is a public website. By school policy, to gain access to lecture, you will need to provide a password. 

We strongly encourage you to attend the live lecture sessions where we will be working on problem solving. Our research has shown that students who attend the live sessions have on average almost an entire letter grade higher in the class. Participation in these events will result in full credit for the lecture portion of your grade.
