CPS and Linsky files are up.

Flurry of Friday evening work is almost over: your CPS data from Friday, with attendance, is UP, along with the Linsky file.

Also, the doc cam files for today, Monday and last Friday are updated.

Good hunting.

CPS abbondanza

I just finished uploading

  1. CPS scores
  2. Linsky files

for a ton of CPS sessions. Last one was yesterday's SMA, so you can go in and look at the Linsky file study guide for yesterday's SMA review. Helpful.

Yay.

Linsky files and last Friday's doc cam

There are new Linsky files for yesterday's lecture and the SMA questions on the midterm. Also, the doc cam file from Friday's lecture are in Lecture Blurbs.

I am still working like a maniac on exam scores.

Deluxe CPS information

If you look in your My Grades page, you will see two new lines that contain the numeric answer you sent in CPS session L13 and in yesterday's mini-review #14.

If you compare your number to the posted solutions (in the Linsky Files), then you can maybe unravel your error and get the problem squared away. Good.

All Linsky Files are UP.

You can now review all the questions and answers from yesterday's mini-review. Look in the Linsky Files on Webcourses. I also made up a quck blurb on Brain Burner 909, which was #14 in the mini-review.

Yesterday's CPS session is UP, plus the doc cam file.

You can now look at the solution to yesterday's CPS questions, including the ones we looked at and talked about without showing the answer. Look in the Linsky files, with the V for Vendetta icon.

Also, your CPS scores are all uploaded and current, all the way up to yesterday's lecture. Look in your My Grades page.

You can also review the friction calculation from yesterday's doc cam work. Look in the lecture blurbs folder in Webcourses.

CPS sessions in the Linsky Files.

If you want to review the CPS questions for study or to double check your class notes, then look through the PDFs in the Webcourses folder known as the Linsky Files. Each CPS session will be summarized, based on Ed Linsky's CPS answers.

Look for the "Call me V" icon in the home page.

Chuck Norris Combo Basket is up in Linsky Files

The solution set for the big CPS SMA session is now in the Linsky Files. There is also a backup file with the various tables and diagrams for the several questions.

Three new Linsky Files are UP

I just uploaded the most recent three Linsky files, mostly on electromagnetism. They are in Webcourses.

Linsky files are up to date.

I just uploaded Linsky Files for Friday's and today's lecture, plus CPS pointage.

Students present in Friday's class will also notice the CPS mega-bonus points from that session.

Excellent.

Linsky Files up

OK, the last few Linsky files are now UP.
  1. about the submicroscopic momentum and kinetic energy interactions that form the basis of the ideal gas model.
  2. about a submicroscopic kinetic energy brain-burner and the Kelvin scale
  3. about pressure and volume of bubbles #1 and #2 plus some brain-burner action on subterranean rodents, i.e., moles and Avogadro's number.
  4. pressure differential in bubbles
  5. water column, Bernoulli principle and Greenland vs. West Africa.

Today's mini-review CPS session is UP

Check the Linsky files for today's CPS session.

To recap, the toughest question was the size of Δp.

Δp = pf - pi and we know its direction is rightward.
pi = (1 kg m/sec left, 1 kg m/sec down)
pf = (1 kg m/sec right, 1 kg m/sec down)

Subtract horizontal components, final - initial:
     1 kg m/sec right - 1 kg m/sec left
which is just like
     +1 kg m/sec - (-1 kg m/sec)
and that totals +2 kg m/sec, which is the answer.

Note: the vertical components do not change at the impact, so Δp = 2 kg m/sec rightward and nothing vertical.

CPS pointage updated from last week

I just updated the CPS points from last week, Lecture 19 and Lecture 20 sessions. The corresponding Linsky Files are also in place.

Interesting:
  1. 10 Linsky Files from 10 CPS sessions
  2. 9 homework assignments.
By the end of the semester we will probably be 20 each, maybe more.

CPS pointage and Linsky files UP

The Linsky Files from Wednesday and Friday are now up. I also updated the gradebook, so L10 and L11 points are now up, as well.

Bring your CPS clicker to the midterm exam on Wednesday.

CPS update

Your CPS pointage is now updated, and the Linsky Files from today are activated.

By the way, I just synched up the CPS roster, and we are down only 3 students, so you guys are looking good for some serious CPS clicking from here on out.

Remember to bring your CPS clicker on midterm exam 1, next Wed.

CPS pointage updated

I just updated the CPS pointage from Wednesday (L7) and Friday (L8) in your My Grades pages. Also the Linsky Files are updated.

Ashton Dacus, our mighty TA, made some scans of Wednesday's doc cam sketches, and they are posted as PDF in iTunes U. Look for the "Doc cam" tab and you'll see it.

The Linsky Files, from our CPS session today

The PDF of Ed Linsky's session is now available for download in Webcourses. I will be placing Ed's work on Webcourses in PDF every time we have a CPS session. They are great for study tools.

Look for the X-Files icon. That identifies the top secret location of THE LINSKY FILES.
