This is the schedule for the Summer 2003 term of Physics 222. The details are subject to change. The homework problems are all done online. The problems are taken from your textbook, but the details are customized for each student. You should begin the Homework set for each chapter as soon as the assignment is open. Problem sets are always due at 5:00 PM on the date shown. Do not wait until the last minute. Any problems submitted late will not be graded. Practice problems are optional, for your own benefit. They are not graded, but may be discussed in class. The answers are in the back of the textbook.

When reading each chapter, try to answer as many of the Questions at the end of the chapters as possible to test your understanding. If you find you don't understand something, you should bring this up at the recitations.
