How to find your student account:

 

The ACS home page http://acs.ucsd.edu provides all the necessary information how to log in with your AD username and password.

Course specific Unix account issues will be discussed in the lab.

 

How to run prep ph141w:

The script that they can run prior to running prep already resides on each lab machine. From the Terminal.app once logged in, the student can run the command:

/Sys/scripts/etc/copyClassResources.sh

That script will copy the missing .class_resources.txt file from their server space on acsnfs4 down to the local machine to make it available for the prep command to process. Normally, the above script copies the file down automatically with no user intervention required but that seems to not be working reliably in the MAYER-4623 lab for some reason.

So the proper series of steps would be:

Open Terminal.app
Enter the command: /Sys/scripts/etc/copyClassResources.sh (NOTE: using tab command completion here may help)
Return
Enter the command: prep ph141w
Return

 

 

Homework assignments

Three HW assignments are scheduled approximately every two weeks; these will be a mix of written exercises and programming. Some PHYS 241 Graduate problems will be more complex and difficult. Homeworks count for 45% of your grade. There will be a Midterm project with 20% and a Final project with 35%.

Late days

All assignments are due at Midnight on the due date. Each student will be allotted four free days which can be used to turn in homework assignments late without penalty. When free days are used up, late homeworks will be penalized 10% per day. Homeworks will not be accepted more than seven days past the deadline.


Grade policy:

Letcure quizzes (10%) 3 Assignments (40%), Midterm (20%), Final Project (30%).
