Getting your final grade in 5.111

The grades for 5.111 have been submitted to the registrar. When they become available, you can view them on WEBSIS.

 

If you are a freshman, you will see a “P” for pass (if you passed the course).  To get your actual letter grade, you will need to meet with your freshman advisor in January. If you are an upperclassman, your letter grade will appear. If you did not pass the class, no grade will appear since fall term is pass/no record.

 

The 5.111 Staff (both faculty and TAs) will not tell you your letter grade, so please do not ask us via email. We will not tell you.

 

If after getting your letter grade, you would like to see your final exam, you need to email Dr. Christie after January 21st for an appointment.

 

Have a great break and get lots of sleep.

equation for wavelength

The equation on the practice problems for first half of the 5.111 course for wavelength should read:
lamda = h/p

the corrected equation sheet is posted at the end of the practice problems.

Questions about the equation sheets for the final exam

You will be given all necessary equations to complete the final exam. If you are trying to figure out which equations you need, please take a look at tests 1, 2 and 3 equation sheets for that part of the course and then for the 4th unit test - look over the lecture notes to see what equations you are given.

If you find that you do not have a necessary equation at the exam tomorrow, ask us - we just might be able to give it to you or help you find it on the equation sheet.
