I am mulling over a change of plans. On one hand, we should do more thermodynamics. On the other hand, you will all end up taking it again anyway ...
So here's my thought: if you agree to do a bit of reading on your own and take a short multiple-choice quiz on Ch. 18 on Friday, we'll spend tomorrow doing final exam review instead. Nothing we covered after Exam III is on the final exam, so this is a reasonable gamble for you to take, I think.
Anyway: tomorrow you have a choice - lecture on heat and thermodynamics, or do practice problems for the final. Since our PH125 Deathwatch is in its final stages, here's what the rest of our time looks like:
This week:
Thurs: practice or thermo + concept test + rocket testing
Fri: pending your vote for Thurs, possibly a thermo quiz. Post-mortem on the concept test (i.e., where are you as a whole having the most trouble). After thinking about Crito's comments & link, I'll also point out the ones I thought were tricky and why ... where does intuition seem to fail?
Dead Week:
Tues: final exam review, dry run for rocket competition
Thurs: rocket competition
Fri: no class
