Office Hours

Lectures are MWF 2-3 pm

Office hours have yet to be determined. We will choose two hours out of the folowing slots:
MWF 1-2 pm
MW  3-4:30 pm

I work full-time at Cornell University, and as a result will only be on the Ithaca College campus on the days of lecture, from about 1 pm until about 4 pm. Students are free to visit

Homework Procedure

My apologies if these rules and penalties seem a little harsh. But please remember that with nearly 100 students submitting homework, we must all do what we can to get them graded smoothly and efficiently.

Late policy:

• Homework should be submitted by the end of class on the date due. I will actually accept homework in my office up until the time I leave campus, but that time is variable.
• After that, homework is late, and will be penalized 10% per day late.
• Homework will not be accepted for any score once it has been graded and returned to class, which will typically happen in one week.
• When I am not in CNS, homework should be submitted to the physics office (CNS 261).

Homework format: Students must adhere to the following guidelines. Each violation will result in a 10% penalty.

• Students must put the following at the top of each separate page:
  • Their name and student ID number
  • The course number (Phys. 174)
  • The homework number

  e.g.:		Virginia Woolf, 025932117
  		Phys. 174, HW 1

• Separate pages must be stapled together.
• Homework must be on 8 1/2 x 11" loose-leaf paper. Don't use paper torn from spiral notebooks (we can't stack it).

Printing

How to print these pages? If you're not happy with how these pages print, you should modify the color scheme on your browser and try again.

In Netscape, go to Edit - Preferences - Colors, set text to black, background to white, and check the box to override the colors specified in the document. Now print! Should look much nicer.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to View - Internet Options - General. First go to Colors and click off Use Windows Colors, set text to black, background to white. Then go to Accessibility and click on Ignore colors specified on Web Pages. Funny how everything is more complicated when using Microsoft products...
