Exercises from today's lecture

We reviewed three exercises today from Ch. 21, #8, #10, #24. I scanned them onto PDF and parked the PDF file in "Go to the doc cam," with the small citrus battery icon. Yay.

Homework #909 ready to go

You can now look in Webcourses for 9 questions in Homework #909.

Don't forget the study assignment before attempting the HW:

  1. Read pp. 430-433, remembering the concept that voltage is like water pressure.
  2. Fig. 21-1 on p. 428.
  3. And if you want to skim the rest of the chapter on currents and circuits, you can get a headstart on Monday's lecture.

Homework and CPS pointage totals to date

Right now there are 91 points available through the thirteen homework assignments.

Via CPS sessions, there have been 67 points available.

If you look at your gradebook lines, you can see your totals for CPS answered, CPS correct and homework, and then you can calculate your percentages, based on 67 for CPS and 91 for HW.

P.S. According to the CPS scheme,

  1. if you have 57 CPS answered you would get all 30 CPS points, based on having 85% answered, and
  2. if your "CPS correct" is 51 or more, then you would get 4 bonus points on top of everything else.
  3. IF today were the end of the semester.
But we still have some CPS and HW pointage ahead, so do not count your chickens just yet.

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.

Homework 13

Homework #13 is now ready in Webcourses. It is due on Wednesday at 3:30 PM.

I also recommend that you try exercises 6 and 14 from the back of chapter 14.
