Homework
Students will be asked to illustrate their understanding of the assigned homework problems by explaining their solutions in class. Eash student will be randomly assigned problems well in advance of being asked to explain their solutions in class. The instructor will evaluate their understanding of the homework solution using the following metric.
| available points | metric |
| 2/5 | The student was able to state the fundamental physics principles that are applied to solve the given problem |
| 2/5 | The student was able to illustrate how the above principles are applied to the problem using the standard mathematical formalism |
| 1/5 | The student was able to interpret the results of their solution |
