It's been an interesting course-it's amazing all the things I never knew about how so many commonplace, everyday things work. We just take technology for granted, but less then a tenth of us really know how it works.

Ah, yes. Electricity & Magnetism is an interesting and fun (relatively speaking) physics subject. (Plus, unless you go into something like electrical engineering and use the concepts continually, you're going to experience the TOTAL JOY of forgetting everything, except the part where you remember that you once knew it :-)

A five hour exam is awfully long. Did your course syllabus also cover Waves & Optics at the same time, or is that the *next* third-level physics course? I could use some help with Optics in the "Reflections on a mirror" topic 35363.shtml, because I'm dull and rusty there (hint, hint).
