<p>Scientists (and engineers...) -- I was looking back over the
Mastering completions and about half of you have finished chapter
5, some of you have worked on chapter 6, but most of you haven't
even thought about chapter 8 yet. To your collective credit,
many of you have been emailing me questions about the homework --
that is GREAT! I have been handling those as expeditously as
possible while entertaining out-of-town guests. Keep the
questions coming. I've also been handling questions about the
computer project (which is due March 10) via email at a high rate
-- so kudos for that too.<br>
</p>
<p>We have a few more topics to go over in chapter 8 that are more
conceptual, but which also tie in to what we did at the beginning
of chapter 5. I am going to cover those final pieces of chapter
8 tomorrow and that has us current with the syllabus - except for
the fact we missed the proposed second exam date. <br>
</p>
<p>Because I want to make sure we are all ready for the second exam,
I am going to push it to a week from this coming Friday which will
be <b>March 12</b>. The content of the exam will come from
chapters 5,6, and 8. This will give me some time to build you
some "worksheets", go over them with you, and also allow you to
have four more days to get the Mastering work done.</p>
<p>If things work as they did last year, the chapters on Chemical
Kinetics and Enzyme Kinetics will go pretty quick (we will go
ahead and start the coverage next week) -- and we should still be
in a position to take our exam on Kinetics as scheduled.</p>
<p>See you tomorrow!<br>
