which includes all the information about the course schedule, homework assignments, etc.You may want to try the following 7-question
(solution on the second page) to make sure you remember some basic concepts and ideas from General Physics I, that you will need in this course.To get a list of tutors or see help room information, go to the physics department web pages related to teaching information.
The homework is submitted online at www.masteringphysics.com . The course ID you need there to set up an account is MPWYSIN2013S . For your student ID, use your KSU Wildcat ID (WID). If you took PHYS 113 in Fall 2012 then your MP login (Pearson account) should still work and you don't need to buy another access code. Also a "show-work" problem on paper is being collected in each recitation class.
See the following Guide to Solving Physics Problems for some pointers on how to approach homework and exam problems: how to list the knowns and unknowns, see what concepts to apply, manipulate the equations needed, and generally, how to organize your solutions and get the right answers with correct units. Includes the basic outline of how to write out the "Show work" homework solutions that you will hand in during recitation classes.
You can also refer to somewhat shorter summaries of the topics on the
Phys 114 recitation web page.
But, you'll find much more complete explanations in the text by Giancoli.
