Assignment Dates

There was an inconsistency in the assignment for Unit 5. Originally this unit was 3 sessions and the worksheets on force and motion were to be done over those three sessions.  Because of our short semester, and well-educated students, I have shortened unit 5 to 2 sessions but forgot to edit the assignment list and there was a reference to session 5-3. That's fixed now and all the force-and-motion worksheets are due on Friday, Oct 1.

The general rule is that all the work from a unit is due on the first day of the next unit. The course schedule has the due dates on it too.  The only exception is that there was one extra day allowed for the 11 kinematics problems of Unit 4. The other thing is that on WebCT we recommend that you should do some of the assignments before the due date in order to be able to ask questions in class and to avoid starting too late.

This may be a confusing because normally SFU classes have one assignment per week. I apologize, but this is the most logical way to do things for this course. We have a shorter semester than many universities in North America and we need to compress the schedule to cover all that needs to be covered in a semester.
