Final: as before, closed book, closed notes, no
calculator. A single page study sheet is allowed (both sides OK). final is
on Wednesday May 14th, 4-6:30pm) ************************************************************************ OLD ANNOUNCEMENTS STILL
RELEVANT (and answers to interesting
questions) Reminder:
We are following the new semester for the final exam date. With the change in
NIU spring semester due to the week-long school closure to help recover from
the tragedy of April 14th – finals
week was shifted by one week. This new final date reflects that. That
is, the Average to midterm I is 68, median
is 68. *********************************************************************** Note,
0.1 HW points per page extra credit
for correcting typos. (spelling
usually doesn’t count, but typos in the equations do). First 3 people with
correction get credit. (If not turned into me directly, have front office
date/time stamp and sign and turn into my box.) To get
credit; print out page, correct with red(?) or easily read pen (sign and
date). New

training, tips) see http://www.niu.edu/facdev/ta/index.shtml COURSE PARTICULARS Quantum Mechanics II (PHYS

Professor
Thompson acknowledges browsing and using materials from many many great web
pages and resources that other professors have prepared on their Graduate Level
Quantum courses. So as not to direct my students too quickly or easily to some
of the homework answers that may have originated elsewhere, I haven’t named
them here, however, I have (usually)
emailed those professors whose prior work I have used. Thank you!
