Getting Help#

PHY 321 is a very challenging course. It introduces many new concepts and mathematical techniques that may be unfamiliar to you. It is important that you seek help when you need it. We are here to help support your understanding. There are many resources available to you:

  • Office hours: You are encouraged to attend office hours to get help with homework, projects, or any other questions you have about the course. You can also schedule a meeting with Danny.

  • Your classmates Physics is a social enterprise. We cannot progress in our understanding of science alone; that simply doesn’t happen. We need to work together to make progress. You are encouraged to work together on homework, midterms, and the final.
