  • Bringing textbooks to class: You will need to bring the Active Learning Guide ("ALG") to lecture, lab, and recitation each week.  You'll only need Physics: A General Introduction ("PAGI") in recitation and when you are working on homework.

  • Registration: If you have a scheduling conflict and need to get a special permission number to change your recitation or lab section the person to contact is Julia Sotory (jsotory@physics.rutgers.edu).  She's the undergraduate secretary of the Dept. of Physics and Astronomy.  Explain to her what your situation is and she'll do what she can to help you out.  But, it really needs to be a scheduling conflict.  If you are just trying to switch to make your schedule more convenient you'll need to make the change through the online system.  I realize all sections are full at the moment though.

  • Welcome to Physics for Sciences I: My name is Michael Gentile and I'm the instructor for the course.  All the information you'll need about the course can be found on this website, so have a look around and read through everything.  I'll be using this page to make announcements so check back frequently.  Feel free to ask me any questions you have by email or IM.  I'm also the website administrator, so if you have any suggestions about how to improve the site, or notice any problems with it please let me know.
  • Registration: When you register for the course make sure you register for both a recitation and a lab.  You must register for both since the lab/recitation/lecture are completely integrated.  Even though it is a single course you do have to specifically register for both a recitation and a lab.
  • This week: Lecture and labs will meet this coming week starting Wednesday, Sept. 3rd. Recitations will NOT meet this coming week.  Recitations start the following Monday, Sept. 8th.
  • Important required reading: A few important documents have been posted above.  Please download and read them right away.
  • Scientific abilities rubrics: You will learn about these in lecture and lab this week.  They are available for download, so feel free to have a look at them ahead of time.  You will use these to guide you in learning the scientific reasoning abilities that are a primary focus of the course.  They will also be used to grade your lab work. 
  • Gradebook: The online gradebook is up.  Click on the "Gradebook" tab above to access it.  Login information can be found on the course info page.
