Clarifying Verification of Theoretical and Experimental Values

Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

In the second meeting of my Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism lab class for the seventh week of the first term, we had experiment number three, resistors in series, the first half of the whole procedure in their manual that I had intentionally divided schedule for.

Sometime in the near future I will be reconciling these into one experiment again, and just having a completely new experiment take its place about combined series and parallel circuits and resistances.

In the meantime, the combinational part (with additional circuits not found in the book) will be part of the parallel section of the experiment.

This makes it relatively longer to perform than the first part, but until the revision is completed this is the easier division of labor for them.

I also had to clear up some things about what quantities the students were supposed to measure and which ones they were supposed to compute.

Because if they did not measure any of these exactly, then that means that they would naturally have a zero percent difference in their computations.

In the meeting of my second class in Engineering Computer Aided Drawing and Design for the seventh week, we had the three “plates” or files just like in the previous class. The only difference for this one was that since I didn't have a plate they could copy from anymore, I had to use solids again for exercises seven and eight, several divided among the class to ensure a smaller probability of copying.

And they were not able to finish either, because the system administrator was told by the technician that my class was just an hour and a half long, so he scheduled an operating system demo and tutorial at that time.

I just told my students to finish it some other time, and deadline was moved to another day, just like with one of their first session exercises.

Session 1207's class was cut short also. Class dismissed.
