Honors Physics 1

Updated 05-18-12

Note that I will NOT be teaching this course during the current academic year, so it is unlikely to be updated.

Companion website to your text book: http://wps.prenhall.com/esm_giancoli_physicsppa_6

I do have a pdf of your book that I may distribute to students taking the course with me. I can not legally post it here, but I can put it on a flash drive or CD for you.

Digital File Information:

All assignments are due by 11:59 PM on the due date unless otherwise specified. After this, it is late and half credit. Documents may by submitted via Google Classroom, attached in an email, or as a shared Google Doc.

** To trigger a return receipt from emails to my .cpsed.net account, you must include your document as an attachment and use a subject line of: "Period __ Lab or Home Work, your full name". Note that sharing a Googledoc does not trigger a return receipt because it is not an attachment.**

RIC EEP Info: This info is from the 11-12 academic year. It will be updated as new info becomes available. The 2010 Deadline was Fri, Oct 9, and the cost was $60 per credit, $240.00 for the course + $10 registration, so $250 total. The course code for Ms. Walkup's Physics Class will be given in class.
