 @@ quiz - bring iClickers.

    Numbers without MP or I refer to EXERCISES (not questions) at the
    back of the chapter.
 MP Mastering Physics problems - Use link on class website to access.
 I  Interactive Examples.  These are from the University of Illinois 
    and are accessible via the link on the Physics 272 web page. 
    They will be referenced by number, where the number is just the
    sequence number of the problem set  ("Line of charge" is
    Interactive Problem 3). Write out the problem like you would a
    hand in problem; The interactive feature helps you understand how
    to solve the problem.

Note: Reading assignments each day are to be completed BEFORE that
day's lecture so that you may ask questions and participate in
discussions on the material covered.  Problems assignments each day
are due at the beginning of the next lecture.
