Unit 8a Schedule
2013-2014
The following schedule information was prepared at the beginning of the
unit. It is not fixed in stone. It's
role is to serve as an organizational tool for
students to find both required and helpful resources relevant to daily
activities. The schedule is seldom updated as the unit progresses; if
we fall behind, then topics or depth of topics will be reduced in order
to keep the overall pace required to maximize coverage of the entire
curriculum.

Announcements:
- Stay on top of your textbook reading, lab work and Minds On
Physics. They are intended as daily tools that will make you more
efficient in class. There is a tremendous synergy
between at-home work and in-class work. Doing well in class will make
doing well at home easier. And doing (and even doing well) at home will
make doing well in class easier. That's synergy!
