<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">
<div>Hi all students in Physics and Astronomy,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am the instructor of PHYS-319 (Computational Physics).</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The department approved that the course requirement of PHYS-319 will be changed from Spring 2024 (not effective in Spring 2023). It will require an intro Python course from Spring 2024.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 13.32px; font-weight: 700;">Intro to Python for Phys Sci - 87818 - PHYS 489 - 01E</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If you plan to take the course in Spring 2023 and have no programming experience, I strongly encourage you to take the intro Python course this semester, Fall 2022.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The course is open now.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Again, the pre-requisite of PHYS-319 is not required in Spring 2023, but will be required from Spring 2024.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The university does not allow Pass/Fail grade for the intro Python course, so it will be a graded course. But it will be an easy course for Python experience. </div>
<div>70% attendance and 70% HW completion will be required for an "A" grade.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>The intro Python course will be a fun, easy, and nearly stress-free programming course with one-to-one guidance by me.</div>
<div>It can be a face-to-face course at 5:00 PM in room 210, or fully online by D2L or Zoom.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>Please email me if you have any questions.</div>
