These students received a 2 point bonus for this assignment.

• Attend another section to still receive full credit for participation
• If you can cannot attend any of the other recitation sections that day, you will have the opportunity to submit a makeup assignment before your recitation time for up to 80% participation credit.

We will be using this website to manage all aspects of this course: https://efcms.engr.utk.edu/ef157-2024-08.

Please login and make yourself familiar with the Syllabus and structure of the site. There is an assignment you can start working on before the first class if you want. (The actual deadline is 8am Friday Aug 23). Go to Learning Pages (left menu) and then 1-1: Intro to EF 157. As you go through the various tabs, there are some click-to-reveal text, 2 forms to fill out, a short video to watch, and example questions to answer. The Background Form and Picture Upload are important to us because they help us get to know you faster.

You can find a Math Review on the left menu that highlights the importance of different skills to our physics class. Being familiar with these skills will help you solve physics problems in less time and with fewer errors. It includes some optional math questions that do not impact your grade in any way.

You can also explore other parts of the site (Announcements, Calendar, Research Paper, Help, Procedures, Resources, Discussion Board) or start working on the pre-class assignments for Lecture 1-2 if you'd like. We will cover the structure of the class, how to navigate the website, introduction of teaching assistants, and more on the first two days of the semester (Mon Aug 19 and Tue Aug 20).

We hope the coming year will be rewarding and successful for all of you.
Drs. Kit & Hicks
