MasteringPhysics
Tutorial problems are available through MasteringPhysics. Throughout this course you
should spend considerable time answering all the questions. The tutorial problems will
help you revise the course content. Examination questions may be based upon some
MasteringPhysics questions.
Workshops
Through this course there will be 5 workshops. At the start of each workshop, you will be
given a set of questions to complete. Some of the questions will relate to assessment
items included in assignments.
