New podcast

There is a new podcast in our iTunes U area. It is over the Chapter 2 topics of gravitational weight force and "g" which are in pp. 43-44.

Please forgive my weak voice on this podcast and the lisp and inability to pronounce the letter G! I just had surgery in my mouth, all kinds of stitches plus pain, so talking is semi-discombobulated right now. I hope it will be better in a few days, especially this maddening lisp!

Look for the new podcast with the Boeing 747 carrying the space shuttle. Click the little square icon that is inside the progress bar on the left, and then all the diagrams, equations, formulas and notes will pop out into full screen.

Last learning module, O for Oceans, is for bonus points.

Learning module O for Oceans is now ready.

It is your last learning module for the semester -- actually a blast from the past, reviewing first week's reading topics from Ch. 24, but with a few more in depth concepts added in.

I will be grading the mini-quiz for bonus points, so make sure you make an excellent effort.

Next learning module will be up later today.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day and break from school!

Our next to last learning module will be up today, probably after lunch.

Learning module J is up.

You can now go to the next learning module, concerning rocks and minerals, Learning Module J. It's due date is modified in the syllabus to Nov. 16, 5 PM.

Learning module, modified schedule

I am in the process of modifying the schedule of learning modules. We are about one week behind, but we are still looking good, because of some built-in extra time for Thanksgiving Day weekend.

Keep alert. I am modifying the syllabus mini-quiz schedule but not the final exam, of course.

Vote!

I was on line Saturday afternoon for four hours so that I could vote early and teach all day tomorrow, Tuesday.

Make sure to get your vote cast tomorrow, if you have not already done so! This is a big election. Voting is good.
