1999 semester. This is a physics course at MIT which was taught by Professor Walter
Lewin. Much of the information on the course itself can be found on
the course homepage. The two sections I taught were R06 and
R07.

General Homework Information and Policy
- Late homework is not accepted without a good reason.
- Be sure to hand homework into the appropriate
recitation box before the time it is due.

- Every quiz is on a Wednesday.
- The quiz material is drawn from homework material
you have seen.
- I am aiming to have each quiz take about 20 minutes or so
to complete.

from a quiz.

Average and Passing Grades
This is to help you gauge your performance in the class.
Some of these averages reflect the grades prior to any changes that
are made and do not take into account my discretion regarding missed homework
or quizzes in some cases.
Note that your grade is computed as follows:
Exam 1 (100 pts),
Exam 2 (100 pts),
Exam 3 (100 pts),
Final Exam (200 pts),
Assignments (100 pts),
Quizzes (100 pts).
This comes to 700 pts total.
