Physics 136, section 3, is a Web-based, first-year physics course.  While students can meet with the instructor during office hours, the only time students are required to show up in person is during the tests.  Students are required to complete all the course assignments on time following the schedule published on the web.  A student must have good study habits and be self-motivated to succeed in this course.  Students who do not like the Web-based format should register for sections 001 or 002, where Physics 136 is offered in a studio-physics format.

All the class material can be viewed by everyone, except the assignments and the tests.  If you are registered for Physics 136, section 003 you must register a username and password to access the assignments and tests.  This username and password also will let you check your grades.  Follow the instruction given in the syllabus.  Do this now!
