Physics 112 Assignment Sheet, Winter 2007
This is a tentative assignment sheet. While it is unlikely that there will be major shifts, slight changes (e.g. different homework problems) may occur. As always in Winter quarter, some classes may have to be cancelled due to bad weather. In this case, some more significant changes will be made. I will post changes during the quarter. Please check back during the quarter to make sure that you have up-to-date information.
Ch refers to a chapter in Cutnell/Johnson, S refers to a section of a chapter in Cutnell/Johnson, RQ stands for Reading Quiz, Q for "Conceptual Question" in Cutnell/Johnson, P for Problem in Cutnell/Johnson.
