I am sorry about having to cancel classes on Wednesday, and I appreciate the get well e-mails I received from some of you.
There are several things to catch up on. First, here are the last two sets of lecture slides as well as the slides for today:
Lecture 8
Lecture 9
Lecture 10
Also, I'd like to remind everyone that we are now one week away from the first exam. The exam will be conducted in class during normal class times. The exam is entirely multiple choice and will cover lectures (through today), textbook readings, and material from the class blog.
Monday's lecture will not appear on the first exam, and on Wednesday, I will conduct a review session in each of the class sessions. I will use about 30 minutes for structured review activities and then take questions from the class for the final 20 minutes of class. In addition to helping you focus your studies a little bit, the structured review activity will offer you all the chance to win some fabulous prizes. (Seriously, there are prizes, though I suppose fabulous is subjective.)
To participate in the activity, please print and bring the following two pages with you to class:
Review props
I will have more details about the exam in class.
Lastly, I had forgotten to make an announcement in class, but I have the results of the extra credit project. The 10:20 class (Section 503) was able to turn in enough acceptable diagrams (nearly 70, in fact) to earn the extra credit, while the 11:30 class (section 504) did not reach the cutoff (only 31). So, students in the early section of the class will be getting 5 extra points on each of their exams.
