is the most god forsaken class i have ever taken so far. Except for regular PY 208.

Anyone else in this? I'm having trouble with the webassign, i went through the book, notes, his little lecture thing on the website, and the example problems and have gotten 0 points. Pretty spectacular considering one of the problems is exactly one of the animated examples in the book (online).

Mowat was/is a total dick. The man is smart, but goddamn I couldn't stand to be around him.

I liked Mowat's class, but the Webassigns were annoying.

208 is a cake walk


i wouldve gotten an A if I had done the webassigns and gotten the attendance pts

Ended up getting 3/5 on the webassing before heading out, turned out I didn't do some multiplication stuff before using the example in the book. Got pretty close to the ones I didn't get (got double the 3rd one and had * instead of / for the equation one).

Boo for learning by textbook, I don't really see the physics teaching I'm paying for...guess this is true for most any online class though .

i cant imagine taking a douche bag like mowatt online

just do the standard TWW thing and post the problems. We'll all call a moron for not knowing how to do them... but we'll show you how.

205N and 208N through DE were simple as can be - for the webassigns you might want to check out Cramster.com - it will help out A LOT

most of the problems in the book are on there and it will show you how to do the homework but you still have to work them out - I learned more from reworking the problems than reading the book - and the tests are based on the problems in the book, easy A

i had mowat for 205 and 208 back in 2001/2002. He was good for 205 but didn't explain things as well in 208.
