12/11 If you would like more study material for the final exam, this year's keys are now available at the Canon Production Center in Noble Library. There are two packets from which to choose; you may ask for the Test 5 Key only, or you may ask for All Fall2008 Keys, which contains the keys for all five tests from this semester. GBA 11/09 Error on Old Test Key. For problem 2 on Test 4, there is an error in the written solution. For the selected direction of dl as drawn on the figure, the angle between dl and the vector vcrossB is 180 degrees, not zero degrees. The final expression is not affected, because the absolute value was requested. GBA 10/29 Midterm Warning Grades go out today (WED 10/29); midterm warnings were based on the online grades posted on our class webpage on OCT 23. Midterm warnings do not appear on your transcript or affect your GPA in any way. Midterm E's were sent to anyone with an overall average of less than 45 and midterm D's were sent to anyone with an overall average of 45-55. If you get a midterm warning, please see your recitation TA to discuss means of improving your average during the final two-fifths of PHY131. Thanks. GBA 09/30 Early Warning Grades ("Academic Status Report 1") went out today. Early Warning Grades were determined using the Overall grades posted in my online gradebook on Sept 28. If you receive the message "Missed Assignments", it means that either your MP or CPS grade is zero in my online gradebook; please see Fix My Registration on our CPS Info page or your MP homepage to remedy the situation. Thanks. If you receive the message "Poor overall performance", then your Test 1 grade was below 35; you will need to be able to drop that low score in order to have a reasonable chance of passing. Please go either to your TA office hour or to my office hours to discuss study strategies for improving your test scores. Thanks. GBA 09/10 The Old Tests from Fall 2007 (with Solutions) are now available in the Canon Production Center in Noble Library. The room number of the Production Center is 280; it is in the extreme SW corner of the 2nd floor. The cost to you is $1.50; you must pay with either EXACT CHANGE or with a credit or debit card. The Production Center is open 9-5 on M-F. Thanks. GBA 08/26 Some misprints in the dates on the paper version of the reading schedule have now been corrected in the online version. Thanks. GBA 08/25 The CPS programming on ASU computers was upgraded between Second Summer Session 2008 and the start of the Fall 2008 semester. If you purchased your CPS clicker prior to this time, you will probably need to upgrade the software within your clicker. Please see the "Upgrading Clicker Software" page within our CPS Information page. Thanks. GBA 08/12 No Updates Yet
