Homework assignment 9 is set up and ready for both sections. You will want to study pp. 97-98 on impulse, FΔt, before tackling this homework.

HW 8 is ready to go.

More homework is ready, covering some basic concepts from today's lecture on chapter 6 toppics. Look in the yellow pickup truck icon in Webcourses.

Friday, Sept. 14 lecture is UP.

The lecture from Friday, Sept. 14, is now up on the UVISION website. GO FOR IT!

Midterm exam 1 grades are UP.

OK, the scores for midterm exam 1 are now UP. Look in your My Grades page in Webcourses. The score posted is how many points you got out of 45, one point per question. It is not a percentage. I will have printouts for you next week.

Nobody aced it, 45/45; only four out of 342 did not earn a passing score. The average for earlybird section 9:30 AM was 33, and for the midmorning section 10:30 AM the average was 32. So this means that the earlybirds are the GENIUS section until at least Oct. 3! :)

Remember, we keep the best three scores out of four midterms. For many of you, that will end up being this first exam score. So if your grade is a little stinky compared to what you are shooting for, stay with it and do not be discouraged. We can attain victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good work, everybody! That was a tough exam!

HW 6 is ready to go, due Monday morning.

Homework #6 is now up in Webcourses, and it is ready to roll. Before tackling this assignment,you might find it handy to read and study the paragraphs and diagrams in chapter 5, up to about p.80.

And remember to THINK.

P.S. No news yet on exam 1 scores. Do not bug Dr. B about exam scores.

Midterm exam 1 today

Midterm examination 1 is today in class. Bring a raspberry-flavored scantron with the UCF logo on it, 50 questions on each side. Bring a pencil and eraser, and a calculator if you like. If you forget your calculator, it will not be a huge disaster.

And be ready to think!
