This coming week (week 5 of Winter quarter already?!) we will be checking your problem set and lab notebooks in all subjects.

• Please bring your problem set notebooks for chemistry, math and physics to the Math exam Monday morning.
• Chemistry lab notebooks will be collected at the end of chemistry lab Tuesday.
• Physics lab notebooks will be collected at the end of physics lab Tuesday.

As a reminder, spot checks of problem set and lab notebooks can occur at any time. The main reason for this announcement is so that we can expect you to have problem set notebooks with you Monday.

The entries you record in any of these notebooks are simply a record of the work you have done in the corresponding part of the program; “fixing” or “completing” notebooks is not extra work that you should do in response to an announced notebook check, but part of your ongoing learning process. In this spirit, you should not be making a special effort to polish your problem set notebooks for Monday; rather, you should be completing problem sets as usual, studying for your math exams, and turning in the notebooks simply as a record of the work you have already been doing in support of your learning, rather than as pieces of “busy work.”
