| 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. {{mt1_s11_eqnsheet.pdf|Here}} is the most current version 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 is one in-class midterm exam on topics covered in the first part of the course.

| The idea is to take this project as far as you can beyond the minimum specified above. You will need to decide on an interesting system to calculate (talk to me and others about what is feasible). You always start by reproducing the work of others, and then go on to explore by yourself. You'll learn much about the system you have chosen, so present these findings. You will also turn in a 3-5 page summary of the project, stressing the intellectual content. This summary should explain (i) what you have learned about band structure calculations during this process, and (ii) explain what is topical and interesting about your material in somewhat greater detail than you poster. Include references about both sub-parts. | The idea is to take this project as far as you can beyond the minimum specified above.
