22-23 AP Physics Agenda
It is your responsibility to check this page DAILY to make sure that you are prepared for class and kept up to date. I will do my absolute best to mention everything in class. CANVAS is NOT the agenda. CANVAS will serve as a place to turn in digital assignments.
Notes will NOT be posted as I write them on the board daily. If you are absent see the topic covered and ask someone for the notes or see me the next day( part of your daily responsibility) You are responsible for all material covered even in absence. If you have questions of course let me know. Also most of the notes( other than some problems) come from the textbook so just look there to make up the content missed.
How to help!: If a link does not work, goes to the wrong page or is simply not there, send me an email!! Thanks . Ms. Lewis
most links will be available AFTER class
