09 August - Final Grades have
been submitted. Unfortunately, WebAssign has no provision for
posting letter grades. I am at least as irritated by this as you
are! You can figure out
your grade from the grade calculation info that is posted HERE , along with letter-grade ranges.
Y'all were a great class...Enjoy your break!
My best wishes for Fall (which is creeping up like a herd of elephants)!
06 August - Final Exam Scores
are now posted on WebAssign. Class Average was 8.99 --- pretty
good for a fairly difficult exam that you had to finish in 80 minutes. Final grade posting will be announced here when ready. Click HERE for a summary of how your final score is calculated.
02 August - The final exam is in-class Thursday, August 5th.
Question breakdown: chapter 21- 2; 22- 2; 23- 3; 24- 5; 25- 3.
Five of the 15 questions are conceptual (no calculations).
If the previous class clears out in time, we will try to start the exam at 12:25.
Exam ends at 1:50 .
29 July - Click HERE for a final exam review outline.
26 July - The make-up exam for those with approved exam absences is
Thursday 29 July, 5 - 7 PM in 1200 NPB.
In response to requests, a 'grade guesstimator' is available HERE. Please use with caution— note the caveats!
15 July - A second sample final exam is available on the 'Practice
Exams' page as Exam 3B.
If you were allowed only 5 tries on this week's WebAssign, this has now been corrected to the usual 10.
12 July - Attention, those approved to take the Make-Up Exam:
This exam will be scheduled the week of July
26: two weeks hence. Please email me, ASAP, a list of all 2-hour
time blocks you have available for T-W-R July 27-28-29.
08 July - Exam 2 scores are now posted on your WebAssign page.
Class average was 11.51 — very good for a fairly tough exam!
Click Here after 8 PM for Exam 2 solutions
06 July - For another short practice exam, click here.
Note: Ignore questions 10-13, from Ch. 22.
05 July - Practice
Exam errors! The correct answers to questions 3, 4 and 5 on
Practice Exam 2 are 2.47 A (2.5 A, rounded), 31.6 µC (32 µC,
rounded), and 1.6 A. Apparently the wrong diagram was inserted
when the exam was generated. Correct answer to #7 is (2), not (1).
02 July - Exam 2 is Tuesday 06 July, 7 PM.
Coverage: S&V chapters 18 (5 questions); 19 (6); 20 (6); 21 [through section 7 only] (3). Click Here for a Review.

05 June - several of you report that your Exam 1 scores are not showing up on your WebAssign pages. My apologies! The scores look OK on my pages;
evidently there's a glitch that I haven't located: Help from
Webassign is on the way, we hope; check here for update(s).
04 June - h-itt ('clicker') scores through this week were emailed at noon.
There are still five (5) unregistered h-itt remotes that have incurred the 5%

Registering
for this class:
If you have difficulties in trying to
register for this course, I'm quite sympathetic [been there, done that!]. However, I'm not
involved in registration matters, so there's absolutely
nothing I can do to bypass or expedite any part of the process.
Sorry!
