  1. We'd like to learn about your "homework habits". Please feel free to answer honestly!
    How much of the upcoming homework set (due this Thursday) have you looked at/done already?
    1) None of it, haven't started on the homework yet, really haven't looked at it.
    2) Looked over it casually, but haven't really started on it.
    3) Looked over it carefully, but haven't really started on it.
    4) I've started on parts of it, but not much
    5) I've started on most of it, but haven't finished much
    6) I've finished some parts completely, haven't really worked on the rest
    7) I've finished some parts completely, started on the rest
    8) I'm close to done.

  2. The above options won't necessarily capture what you have done - please elaborate in the space below if you want to help us understand where you are at this point. (Also, if this week is particularly unusual for some reason, in either direction, you might let us know)
    Note that the preflight script tells us the date you submit this, so we have that info.


    The reason we asked the above is that some of you commented (on the homework before the exam where you were supposed to fix up an older homework problem) that the reason you got the old problem wrong was that you didn't have time to finish. If it's Monday evening or Tuesday morning and you checked 1 or 2 (or maybe even 3 or 4) above, you may not be giving yourself the time you need for middle-division physics homework! (Just a constructive observation :-)












  3. Please submit a question you have about the reading assigned for the upcoming class. What seemed hard, was something confusing, what would you like us to spend class time on? If you can't come up with any question, how about a comment - (did anything strike you as interesting? )
    Reminder: the reading assignments are on our course calendar


    Thanks for your time.

Optional! - below is a space for any additional relevant comments, thoughts, or suggestions you have.
