Class Policy or
"How To Get on Zhenya's Good Side":
  • use cell phones at your own risk;
  • no laptopping due to Surgeon General's Warning: neighbors of laptop users develop esotropia (or cross-eye);
  • feet are allowed on tables and desks only if you are ready to use these objects to dance;
  • don't bring food to class unless you are ready to share it with your instructors and maybe your classmates;
  • respect for all: when I am speaking - I am speaking; when you are speaking - I am speaking;
  • start your email messages to ALL of your colleagues with "Dear ...";
  • partying is healthy! (especially if it involves some physics homeworks, physics discussion groups, or simply celebration of physics!!!);
  • let me know whom you are partying with (translation: always cite your collaborators, whether they are Frodo, Sam, Arwen, Legolas, or Dr. Wolfson with his body Dr. Pasachoff). Note: partying alone is also welcome (although not always recommended), in which case you are to cite yourself as party-study-body!


[Students with disabilities who are taking this course and who need disability-related accommodations are encouraged to speak with me about their needs. Rod Crafts, Dean of Student Life, Ellen Cooney and Zach First, Assistant Deans for Student Life, are available to assist students in arranging these accommodations.]
