Introductory Physics (211), 2010 Fall
Class Meets MWF in Sci.277 , from 11 till 11:50 , and M from 12 till 12:50 ... my office is Sci.159
<= check out the "topic 10" page

Quiz 8 - on Topic 10 - will be Friday Dec.03

Exam 4 - on Topics 10 & 11 - will be Tuesday Dec.14 at 10:15 (Finals week)

Exam 4 should take about an hour . . . after turning in Exam 4 ,
      you'll have the option to choose any of 3 pages on old material (Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3)
. . . each "old material" page that you do will be graded out of 12 points , and that score will be averaged into that Unit's Exam score .
      for example, 50% on Exam 2 ... 20/40 ... could become 32/52 = 62% , => 24.6/40 in my gradebook's Exam 2 column.
. . . (with 324 points total possible this semester, that would improve the course average by 1.43% ... about 1/7 of a letter grade .)

Unit 4 homework will be graded via mu-online (WebCT)

logon using your "901" number (not "name") ... and "PIN" number (not "password") ... they're in "assessments" (at left)
