| There will be about 6 homework sets, due roughly every 1-2 weeks. Problems will include text-book type problems, and also reading assignments the current literature. Check the web page for assignments and due dates. Assignments turned in after solutions are posted will earn less than full credit. Turn in partially completed assignments by the due date and the rest later for partial credit. Pay attention to your presentation - physical insight and clear explanations are even more important than the mathematical manipulation. Clarity, logical structure, spelling, grammar, and neatness contribute to the overall assessment. Make your solutions a model that a student entering PH575 could work from. | There will be about 6 homework sets, due roughly every 1-2 weeks.

| There will be one in-class midterm exam on topics covered in the first part of the course. These topics may be discussed in lectures, assigned for homework, or for reading. An equation sheet, agreed upon by the class, will be provided. The second midterm will be a poster session on your band structure calculation (see below). The final exam will cover all the topics covered in the course, but with emphasis on the second part. Again, these topics may be discussed in lectures, assigned for homework, or for reading. | There will be one in-class midterm exam on topics covered in the first part of the course.
