Physics Help Room

The Physics Help Room (1416 Randall Lab) was created to help students in Introductory Physics courses (PHYSICS 135/136; 235/236; 140/141; 240/241). The Help Room is staffed (usually M-W 10am-9pm and Th/F 10am-5pm during the fall and winter) with graduate students, undergraduate students, and faculty on a full time basis. Help Room staff are able to answer most questions. Services in the Physics Help Room are free to all U-M students.
