More homework

Homework 2 is ready. Due on Tuesday at the beginning of lecture, 10:30 AM.

Homework 1 is ready.

You can now take a try at Homework 1. Look in Webcourses for the George McFly folder.

You have four attempts, so work carefully.

By the way, on the calculation exercises, be mindful that the Webcourses server randomly changes the numbers each time you attempt the assignment, so the numbers you calculate with in Attempt 1 might be different from the numbers in Attempt 2.

Podcast is UP. Homework for Thursday.

Today's lecture podcast is now available in iTunes U.

ALSO: Look for our first homework by lunchtime tomorrow, if not sooner. It will be in Webcourses.

Bonus pointage, early iClicker 2 registration in Webcourses

As is my custom, I reward students who hustle and get the iClicker 2 registered in Webcourses before the deadline. About 50 of you had registered as of yesterday, so you earned a bonus point.

There are two more days, tomorrow (Thursday) and next Tuesday, on which to snag a bonus point. Every lecture prior to 8/30, next Thursday, that you've registered your iClicker 2 in Webcourses, you earn a bonus point.

The official start of regular iClicker 2 pointage is Thursday next week, 8/30/2012.

Remember:

1. Only the iClicker 2 with display screen may be used; the older versions -- just 6 buttons -- will not be counted.
2. You must register in Webcourses, nowhere else, if you want to earn pointage for your semester grade.

iClicker 2 registration proceeding

It is great that you all are getting registered with iClicker 2. Several dozen of you are no on the roster. Excellent.

Working on total semester points

I am working on your total points for the semester, on which I will decide your semester grade. It is not finished yet, but it is in place and calculating.

So it might change, disappear, reappear, etc. etc. etc. Continue to be patient while I work like a subhuman maniac on grades.

iClicker points are UP.

I decoded all your sentences and assigned 0, 1, 2 or 3 points, base don whether

0. it was wrong, 0 points;
1. partial credit, 1 point;
2. correct but trivial (like, "the truck has speed."), 2 points;
3. correct and interesting, 3 points.

So all your exam points are up now.

I will still be messing around with odds and ends in the grade book, so be patient for another day or two.

Scantron portion of your grade is UP.

I just posted your scantron scores in Webcourses. Go have a look.

Also, I have posted the final exam bonus point question pointage.

I am still fussing with the codes on iClicker from yesterday. So keep your eyes open and stay alert.

No scores yet

No news yet on scantron scores. :( I will be working on the iCLicker data today as soon as I get up to campus.
