Due to a personal commitment Professor Hicks will not hold office hours tomorrow. He will be available to answer "Physics questions" after the review session on Saturday.

The final will have 12 multiple choice problems and will be comprehensive in nature. Since the topics of gravity and the expansion of potential energy functions about equilibrium will be covered after the last quiz, there will be a couple of problems on the final that will address those concepts.
The final will be Tuesday, December 11 from 11:30 to 2:30 in WLH 2005.
There will be a review session on Saturday, December 8 from 9:00 to 11:00 in Center Hall 214. All of the concepts necessary to solve the problems on the final will be addressed during the review (plus of course some additional ones).

A room has been reserved for a two hour review session from 9-11 on
Saturday December 8th in Center Hall 214. This will enable me to cover the
necessary material in spite of the lost class time at close to a normal
pace. Additionally the last quiz is now scheduled for Tuesday December
4th. I miscounted earlier and this will be quiz #8 of which only the best
6 will count towards your grade.

Due to the wild fires we have missed three lectures and one quiz. To ameliorate this impact, I have decided to eliminate one additional quiz and replace it with a lecture. The quiz originally scheduled for the Monday after returning from Thanksgiving will now be scheduled for Tuesday, November 27. The next quiz won't take place until Friday, December 7.
There will now be only 7 total quizzes. Over the course of an entire quarter, 5 quizzes is simply too few when compared to the final, hence I am forced to use the best 6/7 versus 5/7.
Quiz #4 will cover the application of Newton's laws for both rotating systems as well as systems with friction. It will also cover the work-kinetic energy theorem and potential energy diagrams.

The correct scantron form to bring to your exams is form X-101864-PAR-L. The bookstore currently sells the red version, but the green version sold in past years works too.

Scientific calculators will be allowed during the quizzes but not programmable graphing calculators!
