Announcements for Monday, February 23, 1998
Here is the new
and improved version of the Iodine Clock data
analysis section.
Here are lecture
notes for last Friday's lecture and also todays.
In Staff meeting last week the TA's and
I agreed to postpone turning in the Iodine Clock
Experiment to Monday, March 2nd in class at 1:30 p.m. A
portion of the discussion during this week will be used
to discuss the calculations involved in data analysis. It
is STRONGLY recommended that
you bring your experiment with you during discussion so
you can follow along. You might think that we are doing
you a favor by holding off another week to turn in the
experiment. NOT! You will have lots of other things to be
worried about that week so I encourage you to have the
experiment completed next week!
Corrections to problems in PS7:
Due data is Friday, February 27,
1998 at 1:30 p.m.
In PS7.6c, change any reference
to A or its concentration to C.
So you love mathematics and can multiply
11 x 16 in your head, or figure out if 112347 is
divisible by 3 in 10 femtoseconds. Then you should
consider the Freshman Math Contest on Saturday April 18,
1998 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in MS101. Register in
the Math Department (MS401) by April 10th. WIN CASH AND
BOOKS! You must be a freshman, or have fewer than 28
college credits counting towards graduation, excluding AP
credit from High School.
Next HELP Session!!! Thursday, February
26th at 7:30 p.m. in PS141. Answer questions over the
problem set due on Friday the 27th.
Does everyone know how to plot
data using excel? If not, drop by my office and
I'll show you.
Justin Brooks has done it again. He has
made an Excel
spreadsheet which allows you to enter your grades for
homework, laboratory and exams and it will calculate what
your grade is in class. This is VERY handy and if you
fool around with it you can figure out what you need to
do to get a particular grade. Thanks Justin!
Here are grades
that I have as of today (Monday, February 16, 1998).
Problem Set #7 is ready. Get it here
early.

Important
Laboratory issues:
How many
of you out there no how to graph data? Using
Excel? Some other software? If you think
you are going to need some help send me an e-mail
or say something to me in class. We may want to
discuss this during a future HELP Session.
This brings up an important point
that I need to make regarding Pre-laboratory
Questions. These questions MUST be completed before
beginning the laboratory. If they are not completed
when the TA checks them 3 points will automatically
be deducted from the total points you earn for that
particular laboratory experiment. Additionally if any
of the points for that experiment are associated with
the pre-laboratory questions you will also loose
those points. I would predict that a student could
loose from 3 to 5 points for NOT completing the
pre-laboratory questions.
Be sure to take your calculator and
your textbook with you to laboratory. Since the first
50 minutes of the laboratory period is
discussion/problem solving you will want to ask
questions about problem sets and or lecture.
