DANG! Webcourses off the air. AGAIN

Apparently, the Webcourses server is off the air. This happens every semester about this time. All we can do is wait. Hang in there!

Your last two chapters are UP

The concept guides and mini-quizzes for chapters 21 and 22 are now UP in Webcourses. This material will be on the final exam, and the final exam is cumulative, so it will also have questions tracing all the way back to Ch. 2.

P.S. don't forget to tackle Writing Assignment 2, due this Thursday.

Exam scores UP; semester points update

Your "Semester points" row is now updated with yesterday's Exam 3 score. Good.

We still have 100 points to earn: Writing Assignment 2 and the final exam will complete the pointage in the next two weeks.

1. Writing Assignment 2, 20 points, due next Thursday
2. Final exam, 10 AM - 9:50 PM, May 2.

So the baseline for calculating a percentage is only 140 points right now. Get today's "Semester points" number, divide it by 140, and that will be your semester percentage as of today.

Also: be alert to extra credit opportunities which I occasionally activate in last week of semester. One is running already:"Bonus: suggest question for the final exam," in Discussions.

Exam 3 today

1. Available at 12:05 PM (lunchtime).
2. To get your full hour and tackle all 50 questions, start before 11:00 PM.
3. Exam 3 closes down at 11:59 PM.

Get ready and expect the unexpected.

Writing Assignment 2 is now ready.

OK, everybody, Writing Assignment 2 is now ready to go, various aspects of the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci's. Look in the writing assignments folder on the Webcourses home page.

20 points

Due 11:59 PM, April 23.

Learning module; writing assignment 2 soon.

1. Learning module and concept guide for chapter 20 are now activated in Webcourses. This will be the last learning module to be covered on Exam 3 next week.
2. Writing Assignment 2 will be activated soon, maybe tonight. Stay alert.

Learning module UP

This week's learning module, covering thermodynamic entropy, is now available in Webcourses.

Chance to snag some bonus points

Post a question in Webcourses Discussion area, "Bonus: suggest question for midterm exam 3," that you think would be a good one to appear on midterm exam 3.

Miriam E. has already gotten the ball rolling, with a nice question about buoyancy.

If I select your question for midterm exam 3, you will receive 2 bonus points! NICE!
