Recitation: This is a one-credit course and consists of weekly group problem solving sessions. Recitations are taught by experienced TAs who can address individual problems and provide guidance in a small group session. Each recitation will consist of: 1) a short question and answer period, 2) a mini lecture to go over key points for the week, 3) groups of no more than three students working on problems with a class discussion after each problem, and 4) a discussion of the next homework problem due. The problems done during recitation are group work.

Homework: There will be one homework problem each week due at the beginning of recitation. No late homework will be accepted. Contact David Bannon (bannond@physics.oregonstate.edu) for late homework exceptions. The recitation homework problems are not group work. They are to be done on an individual basis. The TA will return the graded homework at the beginning of the next recitation.

Grading: Homework will be graded based on the required solution format. Four parts of the rubric will be selected randomly to be graded for a total of 10 points per homework assignment. This course is P/N for 1 credit. In order to pass, you must get an overall homework score of 70% or above. The lowest homework score is dropped. Since there are 8 homework assignments, you must earn at least 49 points to pass.

Note: Recitation is a place for you to get more one-on-one help than you would during lecture. It is also a place to learn from your classmates through listening to their ideas and explaining your own. When you leave, you should walk away with a deeper understanding of the topics we have been covering in class and how to become better problem solvers.
