  • E = exercises
  • P = problems
  • PP = Practicing Physics (the work book)
  • HO = Hand out
  • HW = Homework (not collected but could be a quiz question- ask the instructor if you don't understand the answers in the back).
  • L = Lab exercise

    • Assignments: (You can turn in the work up to one week late and only lose 10% credit!)
