Week of October 14

Great job to everyone on the first unit. I was very pleased with the exam scores, and especially the amount of preparation everyone displayed through their notebooks. Hopefully you now have a sense of the rhythm of the course and what it takes to be successful. As we move into the next unit we will be spending a lot of time in class on the research projects. Remember that these are year-long projects. The more work you put in now will not only reward you at the end of the quarter, but will continue to pay dividends all year.
