Section 0M02 syllabus is UP.

For those of you who need the section 0M02 syllabus, there is a corrected version in Webcourses now. Click the syllabus folder with the day minder icon, on the Webcourses home page. It is a PDF file.

I recommend that everyone get this updated syllabus, with accurate exam schedule.

Which chapters to study, and when to study them?

We discussed chapters and so forth in Friday afternoon lecture, but the morning students also need the scoop. The syllabus does not have the entire semester scheduled out by chapter and so forth. Many instructors do that; I do not.

I always mention the new chapter in lecture. The other day I mentioned that we are in chapter 3 now. That is normally all that I do.

However, I can tell you the list of chapters:

1. 2-8
2. 11-13
3. 15 and 19 as mini-chapters -- i.e., we only dip into a subset of each of these chapters.
4. 20-22
5. 23-25 another set of mini-chapters.

Some of the chapters we will go through slowly, others rapidly.

For midterm exam 1, the questions will cover chapters 2-4 and maybe a bit of chapter 5, everything we get to in lectures up until 9/13.

So you can start reading ahead into chapter 4 if you would like to get a head start. We tackle it next week, and we now have most of the basic concepts down that we'll need for chapter 4.

Syllabus is available.

Students coming to class for the first time today, the syllabus is available in Webcourses. It is a PDF that you can save onto your own computer and print out for yourself.

This PDF also corrects the typo we discovered this afternoon in the original handout. Good.

Welcome aboard!

Summer A students, we have our first lecture this afternoon, 2:00 - 3:50 PM.

We will have some observation work to do, so bring your eyeballs and cell phone cameras, notebook and calculator, be ready at 2 PM sharp. I will also cover the syllabus. We will have homework tonight, inside Webcourses.

Welcome aboard.

Syllabus and CPS signups are UP

You can now go to Webcourses and

1. snag a syllabus PDF if you did not get one in lecture, and
2. register your blue-and-white CPS clicker.

Note: in the "step 2" of CPS registration, we do not have an enrollment code or anything like that, so skip to the third step.
