Homework 10 is ready.

You are GO for launch with HW 10. Have it squared away before your lecture on Friday.

L15 calculation

I just uploaded your clicker data from Monday. Also:

1. I made the calculation a two-pointer, so that I could award partial credit for a few people who rounded off incorrectly.
2. As a study help, I inserted your actual answer, as you typed it in, in the row marked "Your answer to L15 calculation" on your My Grades page.

Afternoon podcast substitute

Substitute procedure for afternoon podcast:

Listen to the first 9:30 of the afternoon podcast	→ → →	switch over to the morning podcast, which follows the same basic outline.
Also: view the two doc cam PDFs, from morning and afternoon lectures. They cover the same basic ground, but slightly different numbers for the wheel example and the clicker question.

Monday afternoon podcast troubles.

I understand that the audio goes OUT on the Monday afternoon podcast, at about the 9:35 mark.

Alternate: download the morning podcast and the PDF of the morning doc cam. That was a slightly different lecture, but the same basic outline.

Homework, homework, number nine

Your homework assignment for tomorrow, HW 9, is now ready in Webcourses. Look for the video about Daryl Dawkins, a.k.a., Chocolate Thunder.

No homework, again!

In a shocking development, I have decided once again to assign no homework this weekend.

Try not to scream in agonizing mental pain without any HW for the weekend!

Exam 1 roundup

Your Exam 1 scores are up. Look at your My Grades page in Webcourses.

However, the scores for a few students are not posted yet -- special situation like your PID or exam form out of order. We will be putting those in by hand, probably tomorrow.

Homework 8 is ready.

By popular demand, homework is back in action. HW 8 is now up on Webcourses, and it will go active at 3 PM today.

Go for it!!!

Exam blurb sheets are UP.

If you look for the dancing banana on Webcourses, you can click in and get the blurb sheet for your exam form. Along with the printout we have handed back the past two lectures, the blurb sheets make a nifty study tool.

No homework tonight

I decided not to give any homework tonight.

But Wednesday, look out! We will have a ton of HW.

Earn a bonus point...

Bonus point opportunity  
You can earn 1 bonus point by creating a good multiple choice question for Exam 1. Here is the procedure:

1. Construct a multiple choice question about a concept from the covered chapters and lectures.
2. Label the correct option with an * asterisk.
3. Below the question, skip a few lines and then type in the day of lecture, the homework assignment, or the page in the textbook that gave rise to your question -- this way other students can study up on this concept.
4. Type in a short phrase in the "Subject:" box that describes the concept in your question.
5. If your question is good enough to use on the exam, I will award you a bonus point, plus
   1. you will already know the right answer to it (one question on the exam guaranteed that you know the answer), and
   2. so will anyone who studies through this discussion area!

Excellent.

SO.... take a look at my example question, be creative and make your question a good one.

Your iClicker 2 is still not registered.

Here is a set of serial numbers of clickers that are attempting to click in lecture but which have no name attached.Unregistered i>clicker remotes:

You will not be getting any cliclker points until these are registered through Webcourses and only through Webcourses.

Exam 1 coverage

I was not able to get as much into Friday's lecture as I wanted, so we will keep Exam 1 to the following two areas:

1. the parts of Chapter 24 covered in the first few lectures, and
2. Chapter 2.

I will start Ch. 3 on energy on Friday.

Study lecture notes/podcasts. Homework and i>Clicker questions make a good mini-study guide. Don't forget the doc cam PDFs from Sept. 2, Double check the readings I mention in lecture, and then expand your reading from there.
