    Course information

    In the course we will cover chapters 8-12 of Griffiths, Introduction to Electrodynamics (3rd Edition).

  • The week before each class, required reading material (sections of Griffiths) will be posted below together with a list of questions. This material should be read before the class and you should be able to answer all questions in the list. The hoorcollege will start with a 10-minute (closed book) quiz on the reading material. In the quiz you will be asked to answer two of the questions in the list. The weekly quiz will count for 10% of the final grade.

  • Homework will be given every week and a specified number of the homework problems should be handed in before or at the beginning of the next werkcollege. You should hand in the homework to the teaching assistant of your group. Late homework will not be accepted. The homework will count for 15% of the final grade.

  • The final exam will count for 75% of the final grade. There will be no midterm exam.

  • The retake exam will count for 100% of the final grade.
