Mini-homework is ready.

HW 15 is ready to go. There are two calculations and plenty of time to work it out. I suggest the use of paper and pencil for backup, because the scientific notation required by Planck's constant, h = 6.63 × 10-34 Joule sec, might send your iPhone calculator into FAIL.

Subtotals

For grade calculational purposes, I just set up four subtotals at the top of your Grades page in Webcourses:
  1. Subtotal of iClicker2 answered (as of Mar. 11)
  2. Subtotal of iClicker2 correct (as of Mar. 11)
  3. Subtotal of HW performance (as of Mar. 11)
  4. Subtotal of best three out of four midterms
If your iClicker2 answered is 43 or more, you've got the baseline 85% answered. If I were calculating grades today, that would earn you 20/20 for your classwork participation pointage. Cf., syllabus.

The best three out of four midterms slot will remain empty for a few more weeks, naturally.

If anything strikes you as off, save your question until FRIDAY. For now, study and prepare for tomorrow's midterm!
