Friday's Quiz will include a short Excel component.
The grader for WebAssign solutions is using a coding
scheme for more detailed feedback - the scheme will be posted on the
website later today.
Grades are still only 85% complete
and will be updated throughout the week
People have been reporting discrepancies with the attendance
grades - please contact me outside of class if your attendance grade
does not reflect your attendance. Make sure you include when you registered
for this class and when (explicit dates) you have been out on excused
absences.
We are instituting a new procedure for attendence to
reduce errors
Friday is the last day to withdraw
from classes w/o penalty. If you withdraw from this class, remember
that you have to withdraw from both the lecture and lab courses separately.
We decided to that only the top 80% of your WebAssign
written solution scores would count towards your course grade.
I will also allow you to drop your
2 lowest quiz scores.
Test 2 is one week from Friday
Test 2 notes will be posted Friday night

Assigned Problem from class: Use Gauss'
Law to find the E-field inside a uniformly charged cylinder of radius
R = 0.30 m with charge density r =
2.5e-6 C/m^3 at a distance r from the center of the cylinder for a point
inside the cylinder (r < R) and a point outside the cylinder (r >
R). Graph the E-field as a function of r from r = 0 to infinity. Hint:
use your notes from the Gauss
Law and cylinder problem from Monday's class.
