The course book is Griffiths, An introduction to quantum mechanics. (2nd edition or international edition NOT 1st edition). Its utter genius at this level, and is a really nice grounding for the more formal quantum mechanics courses you will get later on.
Complete notes for each lecture are linked to this page - but I may update some as I go along. Lecture notes are NOT guaranteed typo-free (email me if you spot a maths typo, don't bother telling me about my spelling!).
Homeworks are FORMATIVE ie they do not count towards your degree. But they are required as part of keeping term and YOU are responsible for marking and uploading your marks. Your workshops are weekly (except for the 1st week) and are designed to give more support to your learning. These give you an opportunity to talk through things you don't understand on either the homeworks or the lectures in small groups with your peers or with a tutor or me. There are also workshop questions to give you more practice with the material. Attendance at workshops is required - again its part of keeping term - but they do NOT count towards your degree marks, so you can ask any question without fearing you'll be marked down for stupidity.
All this formative work is great in terms of giving you responsibility - you get to choose how to spend the time and you choose which things that you think will most benefit your understanding. But its possible to think everything is OK with understanding when its not. So to catch this, we have a midterm test. These again are FORMATIVE but they are marked by the workshop team, and they give you an external check on your progress. midterm test revision notes
