Welcome to the Wiki Section for Prof. Weppner's PH241N!

Introduction

During the semester you will have the opportunity to work on a class-created summary sheets which will be available during all tests. Every student is welcomed and encouraged to contribute to this class project. The motivation is two-fold:

  • [1] Extra credit can be earned as detailed in the syllabus
  • [2] The better the final product the more useful an aid it will be during the exams

Feel free to post almost any format including:

  • [1] formulas
  • [2] definitions
  • [3] discussion
  • [4] images and figures
  • [5] problem solutions
  • [6] hints

... and be creative!--Weppnesp 22:23, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

Please be wary of copyrighted material. Definitions of physics terms and formulas are not copyrighted but using analogies, language, or problems as found in your textbook must be used sparingly and correctly referrenced (see the Help page). All figures should follow the same guidelines. Preferred figures are either your own or non-copyrighted material. For an example of how to use references you can check out the Wikipedia artice on Isaac Newton as an example.

Since this is a summary sheet you will also want the final product to be concise and organized.

Available Resources

There are some wonderful material on the Physics Wikibooks which you are free to take ideas and passages from. An especially useful selection is the Physics Study Guide. There is no need to footnote these resources but you could put a comment in the editing box. If you use this format:

<!-- Modified from the Physics Study Guide Wiki Book-->

then it will not appear on the final page.
