| 3/26 Fri |
- The Fri class will continue following Mr. Marschak's syllabus, point
system, and extra credit. There will be no further "Moodle"
discussions. This "Daily Announcements" page will be
updated with every class and will serve as a way for you to keep track
of important announcements, assignments, test dates, etc. You can
access this "Daily Announcements" page from my website at
www.fieldstudy.com.
- I like to give shorter tests more frequently. You will always
get at least a week's warning before a test. Our next test will be
during our next class meeting Fri April 9 (right after spring break) and
will focus on material on all the planets (both Ch 13 and Ch 14).
It is a short 50 question test that will be given for only part of class
on that day.
- We will lecture on Ch 14 (Jovian Planets).
Our next test on all the planets (Ch 13 and Ch 14) will be on Fri April
9 (the week after spring break). It is a short 50 question test
that will be given for only part of class on that day.

- We are mid-semester. It's
important that you don't fall behind. Grading is based on
consistent performance. No single test will "make" or "break" your
grade.
- Clickers have been assigned. Check seating chart up
front to be sure you are in correct seat.
- Clicker quiz questions to be given at the
start of class, during class, and at the end of class.

- HAVE A GREAT SPRING BREAK
No class next week. Take the week off in all your classes on
me....
- TEST NEXT CLASS MEETING ON FRI APRIL 9. If you missed lecture
last Friday 3/26, be sure to watch Fred's videos on the Jovian planets
(Ch 14). It's also good to review the videos on the terrestrial
planets as well (Ch 13).
- To help you review material covered in class, Fred Marschak has
prepared a set of lecture slide videos. These short QuickTime
videos can serve as a great study aid. You will need to have (or
