Bonus points question for exam 3.

Our next midterm can include a question YOU write. There is a new discussion area in Webcourses for posting your question, multiple choice or true/false.

Don't forget to indicate the correct answer with an asterisk (*) and state the chapter and page in the textbook or the day of lecture where your question's concept came up.

No lecture on Friday

Students, due to family emergency, I will not be having lecture for this Friday. No homework.

I will see you on Monday, to talk about H2O and hurricanes.

SSG: Special study group leaders alert

If your exam avg. is 90% right now, then your course mail in Webcourses has a new message from me. It is my offer to make you a special study groups leader.

Meg Avril and Ashton Dacus, our TAs, were SSG leaders in semesters past, so you can query them about the benefits of beeing an SSG leader.

Reply to me, a yes or no, by Wednesday. Then we can set up signups to start by Friday.

ALL EXAM 2 DATA ARE IN

OK, all of the exam 2 data are now UP. Go take a look at Midterm Exam 2 and its three subscores:
  1. Exam 2 scantron
  2. Exam 2 SMA regular
  3. Exam 2 SMA bonus

Scantron data are IN

I received exam data this afternoon from test scoring. Forty of your points are on the scantron. Those points are now UP for all but a handful of you. (A few of you have no score -- bad scantron or no test form, so your grade will wait til next week.)

Also: I am starting to add in the SMA data:
  1. Exam 2 regular SMA, 5 points possible, and
  2. Exam 2 SMA bonus which was one item, worth 2 bonus points.
So these are going in in small blocks of about 30 students. I will finish after dinner, probably.

See you on Monday.
