| ***Exams are designed to be completed in 75 minutes. Students with a class conflict at 5:40 exam may take the exam at 7:30 (requires permission including proof of class conflict: CU printout of schedule). Students with class conflicts at 5:40 AND 7:30 should contact ________ (TBA) to search for an alternative. | ||||||||
| *Download codes: LH, lecture notes in html, best for viewing on a screen; LP, lecture notes as pdf, best for printing; M, audio of lecture in mp3 format; W, audio of lecture in WMA format; PP, PowerPoint, if used in lecture; O, outlines for lectures 10-end. | ||||||||
| Web lectures and outlines are usually provided by the early morning hours before live lectures 1-9. Materials for lectures 10-23 are usually ready by 9 pm the night before. All of the 2007 lectures (on separate web page) are available for those who want to look ahead. There are links to figures in an older Purves (Savada) text embedded in the lectures. Answered questions posed by students in previous years are also provided: follow the red Q&A links to see a more complete explanation; the green Q&A links expand upon a subject. | ||||||||
| Savada and Purves refer to the same basic text: Sadava is the first author of the 8th edition, Purves was the first author of editions 1-7. | ||||||||
| Note: Regarding exams, students are responsible for the material presented in lectures, the Web lectures, the handouts, and the problems. The texts should be used to help understand the lectures; you are not responsible for any topics or information that is in the text but not in the live and Web lectures, handouts, or problems. Additional material is sometimes provided in the Web lectures in the form of links to outside sources and links to additional pictures and diagrams. You are only responsible for the links to the handouts, hard copies of which are provided in class). | ||||||||
