<p>Here’s an update from the physics chair:</p>
<p>Hi [my name],</p>
<p>We are actually still finalizing those assignments. So even I don’t know for certain at the current time! We are, however, implementing a common syllabus and exams, so that some of the differences between instructors that occurred in earlier years will be mitigated quite noticeably.</p>
<p>Best, Beate Schmittmann.</p>
<p>This is very significant, and I’m not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. Hopefully this means that the exams won’t be as stupidly tough if you get someone like Khan or Kim, but there’s still the lectures and homework to worry about. We’ll see.</p>
