Course Schedule

Here is an outline of the expected structure of the course. While this is based on what happened last time it is really only a guess about this year. It is likely to be about as reliable as a weather forcast: quite accurate at the beginning and steadily less and less and reliable the further you look to the future. This is less true of the labs because we keep the labs in Physics 100 and Physics 200 in sync with each other because both courses share the same labs.
Note that the definition of a week changes at fall break. Before break a week is Friday to Wednesday (really Thursday for labs) and afterwards is Monday to Friday as normal.
