lecture coverage and Practice quizzes

[robert zellmer]

I meant to send this at the end of this past week and forgot.  I did
mention this in lecture.

If you look at the syllabus you'll see we don't have another quiz this
semester until the last lab period.  Of course that might mean everyone
would not stay current.  I've put up some old quizzes from the past
before we started semesters as practice quizzes to help you stay
current and make sure you understand the material (assuming you
use them in the right way).

In the last two weeks we've covered Chapters 10 and 11 and solids
("Ch 12" - see below) . We start Ch 13 this week. We did not cover
section 11.7 in the 12th-14th editions.

We covered 11.7-11.8 in the 10th and 11th editions (this is solids,
unit cells, etc.).  This information about solids is in ch 12 in the
12th-14th ed. The biggest "problems" arise if you are using the
12th-14th ed. Please see my web site ("Notes" link) for details
about the different coverage in the different editions.   If using the 10th
or 11th editions we are covering all of ch 11 and none of chapter 12.
If using the 12th-14th ed. we are covering 11.1-11.6 and not using
Ch 12.  For those editions the information about solids from the 11th ed.
is on Carmen (see the "Notes" link on my class web page for more info.).
So for practical purposes no one will be using Ch 12.

I've put up at 6 practice quizzes and their answer keys (see the "Quizzes"
link).  You should be able to do the first three at this point.  The 
next three
are "due" the week of Nov. 4th.  Practice quiz 4 you should be able to do
by Nov 4 and maybe even practice quiz 5.  Practice quiz 6 you should be
able to do the weekend of Nov. 9.

The first one covers only Chapter 10.  The second quiz covers Chapter 10
and 11.1-11.5 (except for parts of 11.4 - critical temp and pressure and
heating curves and Clausius-Clapeyron eqn from section 11.5).  You
should be able to do these quizzes now as we finished this material last
week and the previous week.

The third quiz covers 11.4-11.6.  It's also up.  We finished this material
this past week so you could plan on taking this quiz this week.

The fourth quiz covers material from chapters 12 (solids, see above)
and 13 (13.1-13.4)

In chapter 13 we are covering section 13.4 first and then moving on
to section 13.1 (very light coverage), 13.2 and 13.3.

Each quiz includes what sections or chapters it covers. For chapter 12
that refers to solids (see the info above and on my web page).

Quiz 5 will cover material from chapters 13 and 14.

Quiz 6 will cover material from chapter 14.

Sit down and time yourself for each quiz and try to complete it in the
allotted time.  That should give you a better idea of how well you know
the material.  Do this AFTER completing the homework assignments for
the sections each of these quiz covers.

Give yourself the time listed at the top of the quiz. Maybe give yourself a
few days between the time you finish the homework and the quiz.  The
day before you plan on taking the quiz review the material and do a few
more problems.  Then take the quiz.

See the "Quizzes" link for the details about each practice quiz and the
associated homework problems.
