Dams

Appears to be a "Modern Marvels" episode about dams tonight on History Channel. I am sure they will talk about Grand Coulee Dam and other hydroelectric dams. Good.

iTunes U bonus

I just posted a 1 or a 0 to your My Grades page in Webcourses:

0. no GET or SUBSCRIBE activity on iTunes U before October 5.
1. has subscribed to the visual podcast or clicked the GET button.

This is a bonus point on your semester grade, so it's like another point on an exam.

Right now we have 94 out of 337 students fully active on the iTunes U podcast service.

The rest of youse guys, get your you-know-whats on the iTunes U service. You won't show up on the active list until you GET or SUBSCRIBE. Here are the instructions for doing so.

P.S. I only get the iTunes U stats once per week, so the next time I can scan for your NID is next Tuesday.

Bonus podcast and bonus HW are ready!

BONUS Procedure:

1. View the bonus podcast on vectors by hitting the SUBSCRIBE or GET button. Full directions here.
2. Hit Bonus Homework 101 in Webcourses, for which you will have two attempts.

Bonus points will go into the homework line of your My Grades page. So, if you missed a 4-question HW assignment in September these 4 points can boost you back up.
