10/21     Guidelines for teaching assignment

10/27     I have finished grading the midterm exam. You can pick up your test from my office. You can come to my office to show me that you understand everything in the exam before November 10th. Depending on how much you understand the material, you may get up to 15% credit towards your midterm exam. You don’t need to write down the correct answers. You need to be able to answer my questions.

10/28   Additional information on teaching assignment: The homework problems need to be related to what you teach; otherwise there may be multiple problems for certain sections and none for others. The lecture notes are due when you teach. The homework solutions are due one week from the day the problems are assigned.

 

10/28   Solution to HW7 (part 2)

 

10/29   Please bring in your motor test stand to class on Thursday. If we have extra time, I would like to help you set up your test stands so you can start your project asap.

 

11/5     Use the attached students list to report the homework scores. Email to me within 1 week. The solution also needs to be emailed to me.
