The Acceptable and Unacceptable Uses

(The following licensing rights apply to those who have purchased the Solutions Guide. A separate listing of Acceptable and Unacceptable Uses for users of the Curriculum Corner is provided  elsewhere .) The inclusion of Microsoft Word files on this product provides teachers with the ability to easily customize and re-purpose the contents. The Physics Classroom licenses teachers the rights to do so in order to create revised handouts, quizzes, tests, PowerPoint slides and other deriviatives. The license permits teachers to use the material  with their own classrooms  in print or digital form. This includes the uploading of files to Course Management Systems to which students have  password-protected access . However, the license prohibits the placement of the product contents and files (PDFs, images, Word files) or its derivatives upon websites that are publicly accessible to others who are not from that school. If placing any of the content upon the internet, we require that access to such content be password-protected and accessible only to students from the teacher's school. Many teachers across the country use pages from the Curriculum Corner as homework assignments. They do not wish their students to be able to access the solutions to such homework via a Google search or other web search. When solutions are placed upon the web, the value of the Curriculum Corner is being destroyed for such teachers. It is not only an illegal infringement upon the copyrights of The Physics Classroom, it is an infringement upon the desire of teachers to use The Physics Classroom resources. Please do not place answers and solutions on the web where others have access to them. Thanks for complying.  

Version 2 Update

Our Solutions Guide received an update in the Fall of 2020. All Microsoft Word files were updated and issues with graphics were fixed. Furthermore, graphics were saved in a .PNG format and included with the product. Finally, the License was updated. At the time of the update, the files were looking really good. And we would love any previous buyer of the product to have the update free of charge. If you have previously purchased the download version of the product, you would have already received a notification with a new download code via email. If you purchased the CD version of the product, then you can acquire a free download by providing proof of purchase . In most cases, providing us with the accurate name and email that it was ordered under allows us to look it up and validate your purchase in our database. Please send this information to us by email. (See the About link at the bottom of every page ; the email is near the end of the About page.) NOTE: We do not accept a photo of the CD as a Proof of Purchase.
