Welcome to the FALL 2000 Semester!
University Regulations Pertaining to Classes. For more information please review lts.ncsu.edu/itap/registration.html.
For more information visit the ITAP website at lts.ncsu.edu/itap/
or contact ITAP Director Donna Petherbridge at 513-3737, donna_petherbridge@ncsu.edu.
Cox 400 Usage. Cox 400 is the Physics Department conference room. At all times, scheduled meetings by physics faculty, physics staff and physics graduate and undergraduate students will take precedence over other uses. Cecilia Upchurch keeps the schedule in Cox 411. Please do not use the room on a regular basis during standard business hours for classroom related activities such as instruction, tutorial sessions or exams. It's important that we maintain flexibility in usage. This means not treating it like another classroom space in Cox. If you need a classroom on a regular basis, contact Rebecca Savage to request an assignment from University 110 teaching space.
Special needs students in your classes may require a separate room for tests and exams. You should have been notified in writing by DSS if this is the case. The Department office will work with you to arrange the appropriate accommodations. Contact Rebecca Savage.
Conflict of Interest. The University has an on-going responsibility to exercise accountability with regard to disclosing possible conflicts of interest, the procurement of services and equipment, and the designation of overload teaching assignments. It is very important that colleagues abide by the set policies. So that you may become more familiar with these policies, please visit the following web sites:

Congratulations to Jeff Saul, Duane Deardorff, Dave Abbot, Rhett Allain, and Robert Beichner. Their paper "Evaluating introductory physics classes in light of the ABET criteria: An example from the SCALE-UP project" won the outstanding paper award at the 1999 ASEE (American Society of Engineering Education) Annual Conference in St. Louis, MO. It was selected for this honor out of 1200 papers.
