Lecture #1, Wednesday, September 23rd

Today in class I went over the course expectations and details of the syllabus. There are two quizzes on carmen that need to be completed. One is the academic misconduct (COAM) quiz and the other is a syllabus quiz. Try to get them done and out of the way sooner rather than later.

Also, before Friday's class you should look over the Chapter 1 Supplemental Information notes and read Chapter 1. I will FLY through those notes on Friday and get into Chapter 2 right away. You should also print off the homework set and make a valid attempt at completing it. The homework set will be collected by your recitation TA at the beginning of class on either Tues or Thurs of next week (depending on which day you have recitation) and the quiz content will be based on the homework questions.

Labs start tomorrow and be sure to look over the lab requirements on the syllabus and check out the lab report guidelines and discuss them with your lab TA. Please keep in mind that not all labs require a formal report.

Lastly, a common question that came up today after lecture is whether or not you need to bring your book to class. You will not need to bring it to class as my lectures will be written out on the chalkboard, but be sure to bring a notebook and a pen or pencil. You will also not need your textbook in recitation or lab.

Hope everyone had a great first day of classes. Later tonight I will post the most interesting survey comments. I look forward to get to know each and every one of you this quarter and hopefully we will have a great quarter, Dr. Fus
