|
Class: TR 1:30-2:45 pm (467-472) Course Content: All content to be accessed through ecampus TAs and their office hours (also available by appt): You can join office hour of any of the 3 instructors and 4 TAs Lab and Recitation Schedule: Schedule Sapling Learning: The textbook and all other components are integrated with the Sapling Learning system. Registration is done using your NetID via eCampus.tamu.edu. Step-by-step instructions for signing up for Sapling are given here. Prelectures: There are weekly pre-lecture assignments which involve watching videos that introduce you to the topic we will later discuss in class. At the end of the videos are "Bridge" assignments which are short quizzes on the material you just watched. This component too is included in your textbook purchase. iClicker Due to the hybrid approach this semester, we will use the iClicker Cloud for polling this semester (2020C). It is your responsibility to have an account and hardware necessary to answer polling questions during lectures for your participation grade. Physics Help Desk: TBA Supplemental Instructions:
