I am going to assign the chapters and EXPECT you to read the assigned chapters and do the assigned work , ”dig the diamonds”. I will be on hand to answer questions, “ help you polish the diamonds”. There will be about a lab (or more) a week. You will either (1) write a formal lab write-up or (2) hand in a data presentation, and take a quiz for each lab that we do. We are going to be writing a lot of essays. We will be going at a BRISK pace. It is very important that you are in class every day and keep up with your homework and other assignments.
