No scantron data!

As I predicted. It's past 5 PM, and no scantron data from midterm exam 1. So we will have to wait until Tuesday!

Homework 8 is now ready.

I delayed with the HW due to catching a nap. But HW 8 is now ready for work, and it includes a few brain burners for extra concepts and calculation.

No news yet on scantrons. I hope to hear before 5 PM tonight. Otherwise, it will be TUESDAY! :(

Modification for tutoring hours

I received this email message from Joseph the tutor.
Dr. B. I was speaking with a student and she told me that Ken may have implied that my hours at SARC are fixed. This is not true. I am willing to change the current hours to include a session on Tuesdays from 4pm to 6pm if enough students request the change. Please forward this information to the students and let them know that if they are interested in a Tuesday evening session to please email me at JMRios1984@yahoo.com.
Get in touch with Joseph if this seems possible for you.

No HW

Good work on exam 1. WHEWWWW!

No homework tonight, other than if you want to watch the Magic game and review Chuck Norris facts.

See you Thursday, 2 PM, for the spatial part of the energy-momentum vector, as described in Ch. 6.

Exam 1 today

Our first midterm exam is today, 3 PM. It will have 45 questions, one point each. Bring the raspberry colored UCF scantron, calculator and pencil, plus your XR Responsecard.

See the shooting stars?

I love this YouTube from South America. You can see several shooting stars dash across the picture.

Interesting side note: The Cotopaxi volcano in Ecuador is just south of the Equator, at 0°40' South latitude. So it is interesting to work out the location of the camera. South of the volcano? West? North? East?
