SCEN 102 - Physical Science and Technology: The Way the World Works

Syllabus for Sections 10-14 (Shipman) - Spring 2000

Note: For personal reasons (a severe skating accident which kept me in the hospital for most of the week of Feb 21, out of work for a week thereafter, and on limited duty for a few weeks more), m still catching up with a few things. As a result, some items that normally would be part of this web page are not working. The cells which have a blue or yellow colored background are those which have active links and which you need information from most urgently. Although I have recovered physically from the accident I am still catching up. If you need a link activated, please let me know. And of course if any of the links which are supposed to be working aren't working, let me know about that, too.
