  the first tutorial and get into the section if
  not, try another section.
• Laboratory (Physics 122Zx)Labs start the 2nd
  week of the quarter.  You must take the
  laboratory part of the course, Physics 122Zx,
  simultaneously with this course.  You must be
  present at the first laboratory meeting or you
  may be dropped from this course.  If you are not
  yet enrolled, go to any lab section.  If there is
  space, you can do the first experiment and get
  into the lab if not, try another section.  The
  instructor for the laboratory course is listed
  below. Purchase Lab Manual (see next) during the
  1st week and before your first lab meeting.

• Textbooks
• Randall D. Knight, Physics for Scientists and
  Engineers  A Strategic Approach, Pearson
  Addison-Wesley (2004), ISBN 0-8053-8960-1
• L. McDermott and P. Shaffer, et. al., Tutorials
  in Introductory Physics
• The Physics 122Z Lab Manual may be purchased at
  the University Bookstore. Purchase this during
  the 1st week and before your first lab meeting.
• Lectures
• Lectures will be given using PowerPoint.
  Lecture .ppt files are available through links
  for individual lectures.
• Study CenterTeaching assistants will be
  available for consultation in the Physics Study
  Center located in Room AM018.  (To reach the
  Physics Study Center, go down the stairs that
  circle around the Foucault pendulum and proceed
  toward the end of the hall.)  The Study Center is
  staffed from approximately 930 am to 430 pm on
  weekdays. This is the first place you go to for
  help with physics.
• Weekly PretestsThere will be weekly pretests
  conducted as part of the Tutorial using the Tycho
  system. Pretests will not be graded.  Completion
  of these tests, however, will be a factor in
  determining your final grade.
• Class Interactions
• We will be using the HIT-T response system
  correlated with the lectures, which also records
  attendance. I have not yet decided how much this
  will be used.

  is on the web. You should read this web page
  carefully for detailed information about the
  course and grading policies.
• Exams There will be three one-hour midterm
  exams and a two-hour final exam.  Approximately
  half of each exam will be based on material

• Tutorial homework will be assigned and collected
  in each tutorial section. One problem from each
  assignment will be graded in detail, and will
  contribute to your score for tutorials.
• Course Grade You will receive a single grade for
  Physics 122B covering the lecture, tutorial, and
  laboratory.

• Tycho Information
• The Physics 122B Class List of registered
  students will be uploaded to Tycho every day
  during Week 1. The names of late-registering
  students will require one day to show up on
  Tycho.
• Non-Matriculated students should see Laura
  Clement, Room C136 PAB, immediately. They can
  anticipate Tycho registration problems.
• The Tycho URL is http//tychosrv.phys.washington.
  edu/courses/Phys122/spring07
• Logging onto TychoYour name is the first part
  of your UW email addressYour initial password
  is the last 4 digits of your UW student ID number.

• Clicker Information
• Physics 122B will use a clicker that can be
  purchased at the University Bookstore. If your
  clicker does not function, check the batteries
  and/or see the Bookstore.
• There is a link from the course syllabus to the
  clicker registration page. Go there and register
  your clicker, giving your name, UW Net ID (NOT UW
  Student ID) , clicker ID (found inside the
  battery compartment), and a 3-letter screen name
  (capital letters or numbers only, no symbols).
• Your clicker must be registered by the end of the
  quarter to receive credit for class
  participation. You may receive an increment of
