Question & Answer:

• Q: My major is experimental Condensed Matter Physics. I cannot do a lot of calculations. I just need to know some basic ideas about theory of Solid State Physics. Is it possible to give me lower standard in the examination?
• A: No. As long as you take my course, you have to fulfill all the requirements of this course. Credits come from hard work, not lower standard. Good Credits come from harder work!
• Q: I am afraid I can not pass your course.
• A: As long as you take all notes of my lecture, and finish all the assignments I give to you, you will pass the exam. If you get ANY trouble in your study, just come to my office in my office hour and I will help you. You may also email your question to get quicker answer.
