Announcements:
Labs (activities) with are to be placed on
the instructor's desk before class starts on the date they are due or they
are late. You are not to be in another
lab finishing up assigned work, then walking into class 10 minutes late and
turning it in for full credit. That is
not fair to students who complete assignments in timely fashion. There has been questions on when the class
“starts” Section 1 –
Tuesday 7:00 PM Late work will only be accepted (subject to 10% reduction) until 5:00 pm Thursday Graded labs will be returned the following
Tuesday during the lecture period Important:
Your instructor has 20+ lab assignments to grade. Most of these
assignments are composed of five to six pages of documentation. Not
following directions concerning the order of sheets turned in or not stapling
sheets will cost you 10% of the grade for that project. You do not want
the instructor having to try to "find" information in your
documentation packet. Note: Assuming a vertical orientation of your papers, staples always go in the upper left corner. Drawings printed in a horizontal format will be placed such that the top of the drawing is on the “left” in the packet. Refer to the Handout – Stapling Sheets Together.pdf file in the EGT_121 subdirectory listed in the box below. Downloads are
available from the pro_e courseware data disk
(V:\METBD_306) Perceived Level of difficulty of all labs
(student opinion) Interesting
note: “Researchers show
that even when you do learn things through multi-tasking, you compromise the
quality of that learning. Foerde et al. (2006)
showed that while people can and do learn things while multitasking, the
learning is less flexible and more specialized. What that means is that when
you go to recall something you learned while multitasking, chances you won’t
do so quite as easily or readily. In addition, the
more the task requires attention and concentration, such as learning a new
subject, the more your learning will be negatively affected by
multi-tasking.” John M. Grohol, Psy.D., PsychCentral.com, October 30, 2008. |
