PHYS 6310: Classical and Modern Physics I

Introduction & Overview

Dear Teachers,

Welcome to Classical and Modern Physics I

Homework and Exams

All homework is submitted through a distance learning delivery system called WebAssign. After you register and pay tuition to the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, you will be emailed a user name and password and requested to activate your email. Please do so immediately. We will no longer use your personal email. I will notify you by your UVa email address your user name and password for webassign. You will be able to log on to WebAssign. Click on the button on the left of the Course Home Page called Log-in-Instructions to learn how to log onto WebAssign. You then must learn how to submit homework by taking the "Practice Test : Intro to WebAssign for Physics Students" on Webassign that teaches you how to use the system. Also click on the Guide on WebAssign to learn how to use it. The first three exams in the summer will be taken in class at UVa. The final exam will be taken on WebAssign.
