Tutoring at MSLC : If you need additional assistance in Physics 228, consider going to the MSLC tutoring sessions Monday or Tuesday evenings. See Roderick King in ARC 332, listed in the schedule as doing Physics 202/203/204.

Before the first lecture, Thursday January 19, 2012, you will need to have three items:
1) an Iclicker (for class participation)
2) a copy of the book
University Physics Vol 2-3 (Chapters 21-37)  13^th/E
Young, Freedman & Ford © 2012 | Addison-Wesley AND
3) a license for the online homework software Mastering Physics (otherwise you will not be able to do the homework! )
If you took Physics 227 this past fall, you should have all of this except perhaps Vol 3 of the book, which you will need to have after the first few weeks.

If you have an Iclicker from Physics 227 or another previous course, great! Just put in a fresh battery or keep one with you in case the old one dies in the middle of lecture.

The book is available new at the Rutgers bookstore, both on its own and in a bundle with the Mastering Physics license. Note: if you already have a MP license and login ID from a previous course, you do not need to buy another.  For Physics 228,  you need both Vol 2 and Vol 3.

The Mastering Physics course ID is RUPHYS228S12 if you have the 13th edition of the textbook, or RUPHYS228S12A if you have the 12th edition. After you log on with your userid and password, you will need to enter your Student ID: use your 9-digit Rutgers student ID number.
