There are several ways to get help in this course:
 
• Attend the problem sessions and ask questions.  There will be several problem sessions each week.  The schedule of meetings will be announced in class.  (By the way, even if you are not having difficulties with the course material, you should attend these meetings regularly, at least one per week).

• See a TA during his/her office hours.  Their office hour schedule can be found  here.  The TA e-mail addresses can be found there too.

• See an Instructor during his office hours. 

• See an Instructor outside scheduled office hours.  To do this, please make an appointment first.


E-mail can be sent to the Instructors at this address:  phy317m@physics.utexas.edu
 

One piece of advice:  Don't get behind.  It is important to understand the material that is being presented now in order to understand the material that will be presented later.  If you get behind, you will probably not catch up.

Homework in this course is not graded.  However, doing the homework is important.  It tests your understanding, and if you are having difficulty with the homework, then you should take one of the steps listed above.  Also, exam problems will resemble the homework problems.   It is okay to discuss the homework with other students and to work on it with them.  However, it will be most useful to you if you always generate your own answers.
 
  This course is supported by the Peer-Led Undergraduate Studying (PLUS) program; PLUS study groups provide weekly opportunities to collaboratively practice skills and apply knowledge you need to succeed in this course. Attending study groups regularly is a great way to ensure that you are keeping up with the material so you don?t fall behind. Feel free to attend any study group at any point in the semester; more information on times and locations will be available through Canvas and announced in class.
