General Policies:
Make-up Exams: A valid excused absence is required to qualify for a make-up exam.
Late Homework: Due to the size of the course, late homework will not be accepted.
Returned Homework: Graded work will be set out on a table in the front of the lecture hall. As such, it will not be private. Other students may notice the grade on your work. If that is unacceptable to you, please inform the Instructor, who will make other arrangements for the return of your work.
Educational Objectives:
The successful completion of this course will develop and exercise abilities in critical and creative thinking and in analytical and experimental methods applied to problem solving and to interpretation of events in the natural world. It will also provide a conceptual understanding of physical phenomena that is important for substantive participation in public policy debates in an increasingly technological world.
