Gloria's review sheet is UP.

Gloria Scott gave me an advance copy of her review page for tonight's S.I. review. I converted it to PDF and parked it in the Gloria Scott Zone in Webcourses. it also has the answers listed. Good.

Look for the yellow icon.

Mini-homework 15

Some of you have asked for a homework assignment on the chapter 11 concepts we discussed on Monday.

Being generous, I have set up a mini-assignment on ideal gas concepts, Homework 15. Look for it in the usual place. It will be due Friday at the beginning of lecture, as usual, but you can hit it tonight for some last minute study, because yesterday's lecture will be on Exam 2.

Podcasts are UP

YAY. Podcasting mania day is now OVER. All your guys' podcasts from last week, except Oct. 16, are now up. My iPod misfired on Friday, so we will not have a podcast for it.

Podcasting mania day

Today is catch up day for lecture podcasting. I just uploaded yesterday's lecture podcast, and I will work my way back in time to Oct. 12... hopefully by lunchtime.

Two more SSG groups will open at 7 PM tonight

Last chance SSG's will open for signups at 7 PM. There are two more and that's it. So get your supper finished and then be ready to sign up.

There are some new SSG groups that have spaces -- I was trying to decipher some illegible handwriting, but the offending SSG leaders have reported in.

So if you have not gotten a spot on a special study group yet, you take another look. These new ones might fit your schedule.

Special study groups signups now ACTIVATED

The signup sheet is now up and running for special study groups to get you ready for exam 2.

Look for the blue SSG icon in Webcourses.

Sign up fast, because there are way fewer special study groups than I was hoping to get, and that means fewer spaces.

Bad news in podcast

My iPod only recorded 13 minutes of yesterday afternoon's podcast. So the lecture podcast is not going to be very helpful! DANG!!!

However, Monday's and Wednesday's lectures will be podcasted normally, later this weekend.

Homework 14 is ready.

I set up a big homework centered on a rotating system. It is Homework 14, available now in Webcourses.

I like it because it also reviews some of the basics of chapters 6 and 7, but in a rotational context. There are several calculations, so each attempt will generate new numbers to calculate with. Read carefully.

Because it is a super review with some nitty gritty calculations, I have set it to give you unlimited attempts. This will let you totally hone your calculation skills in preparation for Exam 2. Nice.

CPS data are up for today.

Your data for today's CPS session are UP in Webcourses.

Afternoon section, we have rectified the scoring difficulty caused by the beach ball incident. WHEWWWW!!!! Afternoon students make sure you eyeball the L23 study guide PDF and that will verify the additional concepts.
