This webpage is the portal for ph211 - detailed course information, class notes, homework and solutions and so forth will be kept on blackboard. Go to blackboard for course documents including scans of the daily notes and overheads, your grades, and the discussion forums. The homework assignments are on www.masteringphysics.com.
Check out the links on the right side of my homepage for useful physics pages, such as the PhET simulations that we will often use in class.
Here is a link to terrific online video lectures for a course that covers similar content at MIT, the same webpage also has open source texts for physics: Open Source MIT Physics Videos
Here is a nice (and fun) story about different ways of thinking and problem solving: Physics Story.
Here is an excellent video explaining some of the reasoning behind my teaching methods: Learning Physics video.
