2009 Summer Session Course Listings
Note: Northwestern day school students need permission from the dean of their school to enroll in School of Continuing Studies courses. SCS courses are indicated by a -CN after the course number (example: ACCOUNT 204-CN Sec. 28). The majority of Summer Session courses do not need dean approval.

No credit, no fee. This is an optional review course for students who intend to register for either PHYSICS 130 or 135. There is no registration or sign-up; students who wish to participate only need to show up at the classroom (Tech L211). The course provides a review in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus for students who believe that their math preparation for physics may need refreshing. It is intended primarily for students who took the prerequisite mathematics a number of years ago. Please note that Math Prep Week is held the week before regular summer classes begin.

PHYSICS 135-00
General Physics Sequence
8 weeks,
EVAN,
Dates are TBA
MTuWThF 9am - noon
Additional days: See 136 listing for available lab times
Staff
This is a concentrated calculus-level physics sequence comprised of three separate courses, (Physics 135-1,2,3), that if taken together cover the work of three quarters (each equivalent to a full course) in an eight-week period. Students may register for each course separately (Physics 135-1, 2, 3), provided they have the proper prerequisites; taking all three courses confers three units of credit. Tuition is billed on a per-course basis. The sequence is intended to satisfy the physics requirement for science and engineering majors. Premedical and predental students who are majoring in a science should take this sequence. Because of the intensive nature of these courses, it is recommended that students not register concurrently for other courses. Concurrent registration in PHYSICS 136 (lab) is required. Prerequisites: differential and integral calculus (see note on Math Prep Week); 135-3 requires 135-2 or equivalent; 135-2 requires 135-1 or equivalent. This course counts toward the Weinberg College natural sciences distribution requirement.

Staff
This is the required physics laboratory for both the PHYSICS 130-1,2,3 and the PHYSICS 135-1,2,3 sequences. This noncredit, no-fee laboratory may not be waived or taken separately. Students must register separately for each course of the laboratory (136-1, 136-2, 136-3) if they are taking more than one course in either physics sequence. The enrollment in each laboratory section is strictly limited to 20 students. Students must not assume that they are able to take a section at a specific time. Part-time work or other commitments must be arranged so that students can be in alternate laboratory sections should their first choice be closed. The eight-week sequence comprises a total of 24 laboratories, 8 for each course. Laboratories meet on a rotating schedule, meaning that they meet on MTWThF, but not every M, not every T, etc. There are an average of three labs per week. At the start of classes, students receive a syllabus showing the exact days on which laboratories meet. The times for each section are as follows and are the same for each session of the sequence:136-1, 2, 3 Sec. 38: 7-9 am; 136-1, 2, 3 Sec. 48: 1-3 pm; 136-1, 2, 3 Sec. 58: 3-5 pm; 136-1, 2, 3 Sec. 68: 5-7 pm
