Welcome to MIT's introductory Newtonian mechanics course, 8.01 for Spring 2002.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The registrar has assigned you to tutorial recitations for Thursday. These Thursday recitations are cancelled. Instead we will have an open tutorial from 3 to 7 on Thursday (room to be announced), and individual tutors for students with specific deficiencies (you will be contacted individually about this).

The Course Information page reveals that this is not a standard course. There is only one lecture per week (on Friday) and that is largely devoted to testing. You should review your student responsibilities to familiarize yourself with what is expected of you. In addition, you should review the course policies concerning missed tests, late homework, etc. This course covers the same material as 8.01 usually does, as can be seen from the syllabus.

A majority of traditional written homework has been replaced by electronic tutorial homework. You should use the login instructions to get going on CyberTutor immediately - there is an assignment due on Tuesday. Starting in the second week, there will also be written homework. A novel feature here is that you can do it with a partner from your recitation section - see joint homework.
