What I am reading

OH, brother! What a textbook, from the master!

Galileo Galilei, Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences by Galileo Galilei.

And first of all it seems desirable to find and explain a definition best fitting natural phenomena.

Grading slowness

I have semester total points fairly well updated now. Comments:

1. I reviewed mini-quiz K for students who worked on it but never did score any points. If you submitted answers, I awarded you 4 participation points.
2. I hand graded the longitudinal waves question that many of you had on Exam 3.
3. All bonus points are in now, from the three test question discussions and mini-quiz O.

I still have to go through exam scores for irregularities; some of you have messaged me about that earlier in Summer B. Always little odds and ends!

Grading by hand... slowly

I have been regrading one of the questions that many of you had though not all of you. It was about longitudinal wave, and Webcourses2 blooped up the options, so that, e.g., "all of the above" was option A. What a blooper. Very confusing.

So I have to go through and grade it by hand. Your grade will not go down, but it might stay the same or go up by 1 point.

Participation points etc.

In case you are wondering, I still have a bunch of participation pointage from mini-quizzes to post for the last two weeks.

Get your exam 3 done, and I will get those participation points squared away either tonight or tomorrow.

Last exam today, August 2, 10:05 AM - 11:59 PM, covering modules H, I, J, K, and O for Oceans, is now ready for you.  It is not cumulative, although it does build on all previous work.   The availability begins at 10:00 AM this morning.

Last office hours was excellent!

We just finished the office hours for tonight, the last session for Summer B. Again, you can view the recording of the session in Adobe Connect and view the transcript. Just go to the "Office hours: recordings, transcripts" page in Webcourses 2.

Good night! See you in the morning for Exam 3!!!
