Office hours: Monday 1-2, Wed 11-12.
Note: These are just official office hour times. I am in my office many more hours and you are welcome to ask me questions if you find me there. Alternatively you can call or e-mail and set up an appointment.

Text Book: Tipler and Llewellyn, Modern Physics, 5th edition.
Grades: There will be three mid term exams and a final exam:
15% each mid term exam
30% final exam
25% homework

Class attendence: This is mandatory. I will follow the book to some extent, but will bring in other text and information which you will be responsible for. Absences will strongly affect your final grade.

Homework: Homework assignments will be given out during each class. In general on each Monday I will collect a weeks worth of assignments (ending the previous Wed). The assignments, and their due dates, will be posted on the class web page.

There will be a class web page, linked to my home page (accessible through the department home page, www.physics.miami.edu, or my research home page, www.optics.physics.miami.edu).

Class schedule:
This schedule is approximate. We will have to see how the semester/class goes (and hurricane season). The schedule is based on the class my class last fall.
