Physics 136, section 3, is a Web-based, first-year physics course.  While students can meet with the instructor during arranged tutorials or during office hours, the only time they are required to be there in person is during the tests.  You are responsible to complete all the course assignments on time following the schedule published on the web.  You must have good study habits and be self-motivated to succeed in this course.  If you do not like the Web-based format, you should register for sections 1 or 2, where Physics 136 is offered as a traditional, lecture based course.

All the class material can be viewed everyone, except the assignments and the tests.  You must register a username and password to access the assignments and test.  This username and password also will let you check your grades.  Follow the instruction given in the syllabus.  Do this now!

Your username and password do not become effective immediately.  It can take up to one day before you can use them for the first time.

To access the assignments, click on a link to the assignment, and enter the password that you registered.  When you submit your answers, the program will respond with your username.  You can submit each assignment three times, and the highest score counts.  Please do not hesitate to ask questions before your last submission.

Please read the syllabus carefully and always check the schedule and the laboratories pages for due dates.  You are responsible for completing all class assignments on time.  Also check the Class Pages on Blackboard regularly.  They contain additional course information, class announcements, a discussion board, and some course document that are only available to registered students.
