Welcome to PHY 121
by Frank Wolfs 16 Jan '26

16 Jan '26

I hope you have had a wonderful holiday season. According to the registrar, you are signed up to take Physics 121 in the spring semester, and I am signed up to teach it. I am looking forward seeing you in my Physics 121 class on Tuesday January 20 at 12:30 pm in Hoyt Hall. The webpage for the course is http://teacher.pas.rochester.edu/PHY121/Phy121HomePage.shtml Most of the items are up to date and you can for example look at the syllabus, the calendar, and other aspects of the course. Note that I do not use BlackBoard for anything so you will see it closed when you login to BlackBoard. That does not reflect any problem with your registration for Phy 121. It reflects my opinion of BlackBoard. If you have any questions before Tuesday, please send me an email. Best regards, Frank Wolfs ps. you receive this email since I have added to the Physics 121 list server. _____________________________________________________________________ Frank L. H.
