Outline for the course, class schedule, etc.

This course has three main purposes:

reviewing all the material you have seen in the first two years of physics courses
preparing you to take a two-hour oral exam near the end of the quarter
helping you to write a paper on a physics-related topic of your choice and make a 10-minute presentation on that topic

You will need to provide me with a schedule of your classes and other committments during this quarter, so that I can schedule the CORE exams. Please mark times at which you are NOT available.
