Exam 4 up

I just placed your Exam 4 data into the Webcourses grade book. There is the scantron portion (35 points possible) and the clicker portion (5 points possible).

I am still working on the code statement, getting it decoded and then grading each one. So you might get one or two of the bonus points from Exam 4 clicker question 3. I will announce it here when that data is ready.

Bonus points opportunity

You can contribute a multiple choice question for Exam 4 in out newly opened discussion area, "Bonus question for midterm 4."

TA Chloee' and I will eyeball your questions, maybe suggest an amendment or correction. If your question is good enough to use on Exam 4, you will have earned a bonus point for your semester grade. On Exam 3, I used several, so give it a shot for this exam!

Standing waves

If you want to review the standing wave demonstrations in YouTube, here they are:



Study homework

I am having some difficulty with today's podcast, and it might have to be re-recorded. By scientific deduction, I attribute this to the nefarious work of Magneto, of course. Either that, or my MacBook is having electronic indigestion.

In the meantime, here is the study homework assignment:
  1. Study sec. 8.3, Quantum Mechanics. Your study target is to get a feel for Fig. 8.14
  2. Also, 8.5 on periodic table, esp. p. 218
  3. Plus 8.6, on metals, esp. p. 218

There will also be a regular homework assignment in Webcourses, by lunchtime Tuesday if not sooner.
