  1. Time. Reserve at least 2 hours (reading, study, web apps, watching videos, assignments, tutorials, etc.) for every hour of class. This time for the lecture class PHYS 102 is at least 6 hours per week in addition to class time. For lab, see me if you are taking longer than 3 hours to do each lab. If you are a full-time student and have a job, you should NOT work more than 15-20 hours per week.

  2. Instructor. Drop by weekly during office hours. If you have any problems, email me: my last name and then the at sign followed by unca.edu.

  3. Peers. Meet classmates at our Zoom Office sessions. We always recommend peer interaction. You master the material when you are challenged to explain it to someone else.
