<p><font face="serif">Good morning everyone. I know many of you are
recovering from a long Saturday (Family Weekend) followed by an
exciting football game. Go Bears!</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">I got up early this morning and posted the
solutions to quizzes 3, 4, and 5 on the class website. I then
graded quiz 5. The good news is that several of you got a
perfect score -- and one of your classmates now has 5 perfect
quiz scores! The bad news is that the class average on the
last quiz was a 10 out of 20.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">There is, in my opinion, no way that the
majority of the class is ready for an exam on this content. I
have a little bit of flexibility in the schedule so I am going
to move the exam to the <b>Wednesday AFTER fall break (October
13th)</b>. If you are not studying then now is the time to
start. If you are lost -- start asking for help. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">While we will not take the exam this Wednesday
we will have another quiz. It will not be identical to the
content of the last quiz (which I thought was a gift because
over half of it was based on calculations you should have
already done for lab), but the quiz will be over material from
chapters 3 and 4.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">While I can move back the test date, I MUST
start moving forward with content and lecture material to help
prepare you for upcoming labs. I will start chapter 5 in class
tomorrow. I just uploaded the class slides including the
content from chapter 5 to the class website.</font></p>
