The online homework.is listed in the week that is is accessible on www.MasteringPhysics.com; it is always due the following week Monday 6 AM. Your recitation instructor will pick about three appropriate problems for grading. Note, that doing homework problems well is the only way to succeed in the course. For instructions on the Homework assignments see the Recitation and Homework section of the Syllabus.
For rules and instructions on the Laboratory component, see the PHY133/134 Laboratory section in the syllabus. You must do ALL Laboratory exercises and hand in all reports if you want to pass the class! You are responsible for bringing a printed version of the handout to the Lab session. Note, that symbol fonts may not be installed on your machine; in that case the pdf version of the lab handout is preferable for correct printing!
