I (John) plan to spend much of the day in the lab classroom (2238 Lab 2). Feel free to drop by with any questions as you prepare for the final week of the quarter! I expect to be there from roughly 10 AM to 3 PM, with a lunch break in there somewhere around noon…

Update: I won’t be on campus until later, probably 12:30 or so.

Second Update: OK, I’ve arrived (12:40). I understand at least one person came by looking for me. I’ll try to stay later than I originally said; I also may have to make a quick run back home if the electrician needs me.

• Information about and preparation suggestions for Math Exam #2

For revision, I nominate #3 (the falling spool). These are due at the final Physics review session (1 PM next Tuesday, room Sem 2 C4107).

Here are the slide from the Week 9 Academic Planning & Statement Workshop 2.

The following handouts were given out and discussed during the all-program check-in Week 9 Monday November 27. If you missed class that day, you will be able to pick them up in Tuesday’s Physics Lab. If you missed picking up paper copies or have lost any, they are linked below for your convenience:

• Fall Quarter Wrapping Up
• Portfolio Guidelines
• Program Activities Log
• Chemistry Assignments and Assessments Account
• Math Assignments and Assessments Account
• Physics Assignments and Assessments Account

• Blank copy of Math Quiz #7
• Math Quiz #7 Revisions & Reflection are due 1pm Mon. Dec. 4
• See this post for detailed guidelines for Revisions and Reflections

• Math Problem Set #7 Solutions
  • Compare these solutions to what is in your Math PSN.
  • Make notes, corrections, or complete problems using a different color ink directly in your PSN.
  • This (along with looking over lecture notes) will serve as excellent preparation for the Math Quiz.

Complete All Problems in your Math Problem Set Notebook. Bold underline problems also due via WebAssign by 6pm on Fri. Dec. 1.

• 5.3: 3, 7, 14, 28, 31, 37, 43, 47, 49, 53, 60, 64, 74
• 5.4: 3, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 17, 19, 20, 21, 25
• Note: Math Problem Set Notebook spot checks will occur week 10 Tue. Dec. 5 in class during the Math Exam – please bring it with you to class on that day. Notebooks will be evaluated on: organization & clarity; attempts at completion; evidence that provided solutions were used to correct/complete your solutions. Notebooks will be checked for entries since the first check in week 5, so use a post-it note (or equivalent) to mark your PSN to that point.
