Report Card Marks

Report Cards are coming out on November 5. I am required to have my marks in by Monday, November 1 9:00 AM.

If you want to improve your mark on the report, you will need to turn things in by Friday! No exceptions.

In Physics 20 we will be writing a Waves Exam on Tuesday, November 2. The test will include multiple choice, diagrams, calculation problems, and written problems.

You can find the answers for the review HERE, and HERE, annnnd HERE.

2nd Chance Assignment

On Tuesday, October 26, during the noon hour, students are invited to come to the Physics Lab to write a Second Chance assignment. Since there are no exam rewrites in this class, this is your opportunity to have an exam mark of your choice eliminated from the Report Card.

What do you need to do?
• You need to arrive at 12:15 on Tuesday, October 26.
• You need to complete the Open Book Second Chance Assignment
• You must work on your own
• You must score at least 80% on the assignment
• You must indicate which exam mark you want eliminated

This is a great opportunity to improve your Report Card mark but as you can see, it will require a strong effort from you. Yes, the assignment is Open Book, but if you are not prepared, then 80% will be difficult to reach. If you would like, set up times to get help from me before the Second Chance to improve your chances of scoring 80%. Come prepared and you will be on your way to a much better mark!

Note: if you are in two classes with me this semester and want to write the Second Chance in both classes, you may write one on Tuesday and one on Thursday (you may choose the order in which you write them). If you do not show up on Tuesday, then you cannot write on Thursday.
