ASSIGNMENTS for Week of October 13

Prepare tables for use in the in-class lab activity. See your HST RED Science Book, pp 602 - 603 for the tables. You might want to prepare tables for the Task and Report for the 9 week "exam". For more info see the post about the alternative exam.

HW will be to continue on with Science Project. No experimentation may be begun until I give it my stamp of approval or the SRC/IRB approves it.

Proposals are due on October 13. That's Monday. If they aren't submitted that day then they must come in ASAP. It's 100 points for a correctly completed proposal that can be easily approved by myself or the SRC/IRB. The grading period ends soon and the gradebook closes so get those points while they are available.
