Phys 1051. General Physics II: Oscillations, Waves, Electromagnetism
Winter 2011
The Physics 1051 final exam is on Mon Apr 11 (3-5 pm) in PE2000.
To prepare, I recommend working through old final exams
and old term tests.

Course Evaluation Scheme
- Assignments – 10%
- Workshops (5) - 5%
- Term tests (2) – 25%
- Laboratory Reports- 10%
- Final: 50%
- A supplemental exam is available for this course, as outlined in the calender.
- Students repeating the course may carry their lab mark over from the previous course. You must make arrangements with me to do this. It is not done automatically.
Course Text
"Principles of Physics", Fourth Edition, Serway, Jewett. Thomson Publishers.
Assignments
Assignments: The assignments in this course will be done using the CAPA computer based assignment system. You will need your MUN number and a password to access these. Pre-lab and pre-lecture questions will be done using Desire2Learn, a computer-based course management system.
