Syllabus

Here is the syllabus for our Conceptual Physics class. It is long, but I wanted to make sure everything was clear. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
See you Wednesday!

Welcome

Hi Everyone,
If you are reading this then you are a student or a parent of a student in the Conceptual Physics class that I will be teaching at PCS this school year. I am glad you found your way to this blog. My goal is to make this blog a useful resource for students trying to manage busy schedules. On this blog I will publish homework and other assignments, class documents and resources, a calendar of due dates, tests, and activities, and anything that I find interesting or relevant to science we will be learning. This blog will also provide an opportunity for students to collaborate and discuss the material and assignments we are working on. I want to encourage all of the students to use this space as a forum to discuss and collaborate on difficult assignments. Working together will make this class much easier. Also, this will allow me to see where people are struggling and to offer hints or assistance as needed. In my experience such a forum can be a valuable resource. I don't plan on putting anything necessary to succeed in this class on this site without going over it in class as well. However, the blog will contain resources that will be helpful, and I want to encourage everyone to check it regularly. That is all for now. I look forward to meeting all of you in person. Enjoy the end of summer, and come to class prepared to think, practice, and learn.
Sincerely, John Wright
