The end is near!

Greeting eveyone. The end of the semester is near. We will have the rest of the presentations tomorrow in lab. On Wednesday you will have your second exam. If you have any questions concerning the exam, please ask tomorrow in lab. For those of you who missed the field trip, we really had a good time. Above is an image from within the Rose Center. Please write down the name of this very large iron meteorite within your notebooks. Also, write down in your note books the name of the large iron meteorite that is the center piece of the new Author Ross Hall of Meteorites at the American Museum of Natural History. See you tomorrow.

Traffic

That is all I am going to state, traffic. Tomorrow, Wednesday 15 November, we will have a really terrific lecture.

For Monday 13 November 2006

Greetings everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend and that you were able to STUDY! I have not made up my mind yet if I will lecture to you in lab tomorrow or if I will give you a laboratory. Either way, please be there. See you soon.

9 November 2006

Greetings everyone!

The semester is moving very fast now. It is almost over. Yesterday we finished a lecture on the Gas Giant planets and started the Kuiper Belt. Today we will finish the Kuiper Belt, Poor Old Pluto, and a discussion of the Oort Cloud. Check back to the blog this weekend for more information!

Monday 6 November 2006

Greetings everyone! Today we will have a lecture in lab rather than a lab course. We are a bit behind in some of the material I would like to give you and this is a good chance for us to catch-up.

Once again, your exam scores were, overall, really excellent! Congratulations and I am most proud of you all. Those of you who need to submit some materials to me, please do so today or Wednesday if you arranged to hand it in on Wednesday.

See you all soon.

Post-Exam day

Greetings everyone-

I hope to see all of you in class today. I have graded your exams and will return them to you today. The distribution of grades is interesting and not what I expected. The majority were in the A range, which is excellent. What I did not expect is that a few of you who should have gotten and A did not and a few of you did really poorly. We will discuss it in class. Distribution: A = 9, B = 3, C=3 and the rest is yet to be determined (meaning I am not accepting your grades as is).

We will next investigate the gas-giant planets in more detail and discuss Keeper and Newton very soon.
