Chuck Norris mega-review

You can now view the Chuck Norris Mega-Review data from lecture session yesterday:

1. the handout, all 24 questions, from class,
2. the solution set, and
3. how the calculation went for #24, the heat-melt-heat example.

All of them are in PDF. I will be converting your performance to bonus points later this week.

GO! GO! GO!

We must crush the final exam with impunity! BAM!

Chuck Norris bonus

I just finished uploading Chuck Norris bonus points:

1. Chuck Norris Day mega-review clicker session (2 points max)
2. Chuck Norris Mega-combo homework (2 points max)

However, I am still working on last minute changes and updates. More work to do before grades are due at noon!

Chuck Norris HW

The Chuck Norris Homework assignment, a mega-combo review set, will activate at 5 PM.

Chuck Norris Day

Be ready for Chuck Norris Day tomorrow:

1. Chuck Norris mega-review in lecture, using i>Clicker 2, and
2. Chuck Norris mega-combo review homework Friday afternoon.

Make sure that you are ready for action and do not give Chuck Norris any guff.

Notes on heat

These two goombahs were supposed to be studying for midterm exams, but instead, they got in trouble with Chuck Norris.



Study for Exam 2, and check out the set of study notes on heat. It is linked to the homework page.

Classes begin next Monday. Excellent.

Chuck Norris bonus

I combined the performance on the Chuck Norris SMA and Chuck Norris HW assignment into a "Chuck Norris combo-bonus" row of your My Grades page. Total is 2 + 2 for 4 points maximum.

Still more odds and ends to put in, grades-wise.

Engineering majors OWNAGE

I think these Chuck Norris-like action photos, taken clandestinely in Harris Engineering Center, under the unsuspecting visage of hundreds of engineering majors proves once and for all that physics is permanently superior to anything that hapless engineering goombahs can muster.

The Chuck Norris Team dominates; engineering majors PWN'd. Case closed.

Chuck Norris bonus points

I will be fixing up Chuck Norris bonus points from

1. SMA on Tuesday
2. SMA on Thursday
3. Chuck Norris Super Mega-Combo Homework

this week and next. Do not panic or fret if the bonus points are not up yet, or if they appear and then disappear a few times. But by the end of next week, the bonus points situation should stabilize -- if not sooner!

Chuck Norris Week

As designated by international physics super genius Dr. Roy G. Biv, next week is Chuck Norris Week. This being the case, we will have the following Chuck Norris bonus activities:

1. For Tuesday sec. 0M01, a special combo-review SMA session on CPS in the last 20 minutes or so of Tuesday's lecture;
2. for Thursday sec. 0M02, a special mega-review SMA session on CPS in the last 20 minutes or so of Thursday's lecture;
3. for both sections, a super mega-combo homework assignment, Homework X, with review concepts and calculations to prep for the final exam.

Each activity will have a BUNCH of questions, but I will boil them down to one or two bonus points for each activity. Note: each SMA set will be graded based not on how many you answer, but on how many you answer correctly.

With this special set of Chuck Norris activities, you can nab a few bonus points and make up some ground from having missed some HW assignments or CPS sessions in lecture. Nice.

Chuck Norris Mega-Combo SMA review -- bring your CPS!

Monday in lecture, we will have a ginormulous SMA review handout, the traditional Chuck Norris Mega-Combo Review. I am preparing diagrams for it this morning, and it is going to be excellent.

Be ready for action, with CPS and fully charged fresh batteries, because this is the bonus points opportunity many of you need.

Chuck Norris mega-review homework is ON.

You can now go into the Chuck Norris mega-review homework assignment.

Note: On this assignment, I will be taking the AVERAGE of your several attempts, so make each one count!

HW 26 oooops

I accidentally had one of the release settings on HW 26 set to "Chuck Norris" -- so the section 0002 students were not picking up HW26 in Webcourses.

I de-Norrised the assignment, and it should be available now in the normal manner.

P.S. Do not ask for an explanation of the Chuck Norris setting. It's complicated. ;)

Homework 7 is ready!

You have a quick homework assignment on elementary concepts of the theory of universal gravitation, as discussed in lecture on Monday. This homework assignment, Homework #7, is due on Wednesday at the beginning of lecture.

Brace for impact

We will have a semi-lecture today, about 30 minutes, followed by a mini-review using our CPS devices. The mini-review will help you prepare for midterm 1.

Brace for impact.

Chuck Norris Mega-Review Homework

As promised, the Chuck Norris Mega-Review homework, which will be converted to one or two bonus points, will be open for business at 8 AM today. You get five attempts. Do not burn off all your attempts today, though.

The homework is a review of previous questions and a few new questions mixed in.

Review activity for final exam

During a regular semester, there is

1. a last Friday lecture of the semester,
2. a last Monday lecture of the semester,
3. then Exam Week begins the next day, a Tuesday.

We do the Chuck Norris Mega-Review homework assignment between Friday and the start of exam week, a nice long set of 3.5 days. We do a Chuck Norris Mega-Combo Review on clickers on that last Monday. Works well.

This Summer A is way smooshed up, schedule-wise, so I am going to put together a slightly different review activity schedule. Here we go:

1. Chuck Norris Mega-Review HW in Webcourses, will open for business on Tuesday morning, 8 AM. I will set it to 5 attempts. Do not burn off all your attempts, but print out the first attempt and use it as a study guide with a friend or study group. Pace yourself so that you can practice Tuesday and Wednesday lecture material, and use your 4th and 5th attempts after Wednesday lecture.
2. Tuesday lecture on electricity and magnetism, regular HW on Tuesday night.
3. Wednesday lecture on quantum physics, regular HW on Wednesday night.
4. Thursday, 2:00 - 2:15 PM, we will do a Chuck Norris Mega-Combo Review in class on clickers, maybe 10 questions, with plenty of time to work with your neighbor, sort through the concepts, check calculations etc.
5. 2:20 PM, start final exam, at which time you will crush the final exam. Good.

By the way, both Chuck Norris review activities get converted to maybe one or two bonus points each.

No HW

Good work on exam 1. WHEWWWW!

No homework tonight, other than if you want to watch the Magic game and review Chuck Norris facts.

See you Thursday, 2 PM, for the spatial part of the energy-momentum vector, as described in Ch. 6.
