Mini-quiz D re-set for study.

I am posting pointage this morning for those of you who made the Monday deadline for mini-quiz D. Then I will re-release it in study mode: you can retry it for study purposes, but it will not go for the four points on the semester grade.

Learning module E ready to go.

The next learning module is ready for action, concerning springs and oscillatory motion.

Mini-quiz E deadline is Friday, Sept. 28, at 5 PM.

Bonus points opportunity

You have a bonus points opportunity in Discussions. It involves creation of a new question for Exam 1, viz.

Bonus point opportunity:
Post a question for Exam 1 that you create, based on your notes, readings or other materials for modules A, B and C.

Here are the rules:

  1. Create a multiple choice question with four or five options.
  2. Indicate the correct option with an * asterisk.
  3. In the Subject box, type in a short phrase that decries your question.
  4. Below your question's options, skip a few lines and type in the page in the textbook where another student can study up on the correct concept.
  5. Dr. Brueckner will comment or maybe ask you to revise the question.
  6. If your question is good enough to use on the exam, you will earn one bonus point.
  7. Take a look at the example question on friction and work.

The bonus questions can make a nifty study guide, too.

Mini-quiz B to "study only" mode.

I just reactivated mini-quiz B in "study only" mode. You can re-study with it, but, since the deadline passed on Friday, 5 PM, you can no longer earn the 4 points on your semester grade.

If you missed the deadline, do not miss out on mini-quiz C's deadline. You can still earn a top grade if you miss one of these deadlines, but if you make it your practice for other mini-quizzes, the semester grade level you can attain lowers rapidly. No more napping!

GO! for launch, Learning Module C.

You are now cleared for launch on Learning Module C. The deadline is Sept. 4, this Friday, at 5 PM. Make the deadline and get the four points.

Pointage and study mode on mini-quiz A

I just posted the pointage on your semester grade from taking mini-quiz A by the deadline, last Friday. If you socred at least one item correctly, it earned you 4 points on the semester grade. Otherwise, it is zero.

If you missed taking it by the deadline, as a few of you did, then you can still take mini-quiz A now in study mode. It will be available until Sept. 20, 9:30 AM, the day of our first midterm exam.

Learning module B is GO.

You are now GO for launch on Learning Module B.
