There are four new mini-podcasts covering 4 exercises from chapter 11. In addition, there is a new digital video, about 5 minutes long, about angular momentum.

Go to iTunes U and view these visual podcasts.

Most writing assignments 1 graded now


I just finished grading most of your Writing Assignment 1 submissions. Only a few that reference articles in Science are on hold, because the Science website is off the air right now. Hopefully I will get to them tomorrow or later tonight when sciencemag.org lights back up.

Instructions for Writing Assignment 2 will be posted next week.

About Writing Assignment 1.

Comments on Writing Assignment 1:
  1. When you are preparing your submission for Writing Assignment 1, just type it into the text entry box. It is a very simple assignment, so attaching a Wordperfect or MS Word file is overkill. Keep it simple, just type in your sentence and citation.
  2. Tell me what YOU find interesting in the article you decide to focus on. The assignment is about what YOU think, so a generic summary sentence is not strongest.
  3. Do this before next Wednesday.
