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.

Some reminders/announcements about assignments:

1. As of this post, a number of students hadn’t begun Math Problem Set #7, which is due Fri. Nov. 24 by 6pm via WebAssign.
2. There are Reading Responses in Math due Sun. Nov. 26 by 6pm via WebAssign and Physics due Sun. Nov. 26 by 8pm via MasteringPhysics.
3. Quiz Revisions are due as normal.
4. Physics Week 8 HW: CH 10 is due Mon. Nov. 27 by 6pm via MasteringPhysics as normally scheduled.
5. Here is a post about Mandatory Lab Clean-up.
6. Here is a separate detailed post about Week 9 Chemistry assignments.
7. Our last seminar of the quarter is Thu. Nov. 30 from 9 – 11am. Here are the Week 9 Seminar Readings and Writing Prompts.
8. Math Problem Set #8 will be due Fri. Dec. 1 by 6pm via WebAssign.
9. The Physics Week 9 HW will be due Sat. Dec. 2 by 6pm via MasteringPhysics: note the non-standard due date, which is to accommodate exams in Week 10.

Each student is required to participate in mandatory lab clean-up at the end of each quarter. The session is scheduled in week 9 Tuesday November 28 from 4:30 – 5:00 in either Lab 2 1241 or Lab 2 2238. If you miss this session, you will need to schedule a separate clean-up task with an SIT before you can have an evaluation conference.  Make-up clean-ups are on your own time and generally more onerous. You can’t sign up for a conference until this obligation is met.

As mentioned in a previous post, the Chemistry quiz will be on Tuesday in Week 9. However, chemistry quiz revisions are not due until the usual time on Thursday. Please also remember that you have the following chemistry assignments due in Week 9:

(1) Lab write-up for the ionic compound lab following the guidelines in your lab manual. This should be written individually and is due at the start of lab on Tuesday morning.

(2) Powerpoint presentation on the ionic compound lab. You and your group will put together the slides and present before the class during your normal lab time. The Powerpoint presentation on putting together a good Powerpoint presentation is in the file share under the Chemistry Handouts, Lab folder. A copy of the rubric we will be using to evaluate the presentations will be uploaded to the file share later (I am having server problems right now) and is also attached below.

Please email Robin a copy of your group’s Powerpoint before you arrive in class so all of the presentations can be loaded on the computer and ready to go in a timely fashion.

(3) Mastering Chemistry Homework. Since I would like you to spend extra time preparing for your presentation, I have given you an extra day to finish the last homework assignment. It is now due on Wednesday, November 30.
