Welcome to Physics 9B for fall 2008!

The URL for the class website is
http://www.physics.ucdavis.edu/kiskis/courses/phy9b-f08/phy9b_hp.html
Please take a look at the introductory documents there before our first
lecture on Thursday. In particular, the link "Syllabus" contains quite a
bit of information about the course. Also, please take a look at the
link "Readings", where you will find a reading assignment for Thursday.

Be sure to get your lab manual either pdf via the web link on the site
above or from the Navin's copy shop.

"Clickers" for the Interwrite PRS classroom response system are required
for the course. You can purchase one in the bookstore. If you buy a new
book, it should have a rebate card for part of the clicker cost. A used
book will not have the rebate card, but even without it, the used book
plus clicker is probably less than the new book plus clicker minus
rebate. The clickers document explains the reasons for using them and
how they improve learning.

You should be registered in a 9B discussion section and a lab. You must
go to lab on the first day. Labs will begin meeting in the week of Sep. 29 
(not on Sep. 25). If you wish to make any changes to your lab,
discussion section, or lecture section, you must obtain a PTA from the
lab instructor. I do not have PTAs and therefore cannot give you one. If
you attempt to make any changes to your schedule without a PTA, you will
be automatically dropped from the course.
