Assignment 14
Final Exam and Final Thoughts
My Dog, Pax,
(under the couch)
We will have the final exam on Wednesday in our normal
classroom. It will be very similar
to the midterm exam, so prepare accordingly. IÕll be posting review sheets on the assignment pages like I
did last time, so remember, from here on out, hit ÒrefreshÓ as you look over
all of the mifami.org pages so that you get the updates as I post them. Otherwise you may just see your cashed
version of the pages, without the updates. IÕll date any revisions.
Exam multiple choice will mostly cover Ass7-Ass13, but
there will probably be a few questions from before. Other sections of the exam will likely ask questions from
all over the syllabus. Essays, in
particular, will be looking for a comprehensive understanding of the entire
class. Look over everything including
old homework assignments that you did and refresh your memory, because the
majority of homeworks I have graded have been quite good and this type of
thinking (in general) should serve you well in the exam.
12/6/08 5:31 PM
All review materials have been added to the assignment
pages. Hit REFRESH on all pages. Enjoy.
Remember to study the Project
Pages as I will put a section of question on them
in the exam. IÕll try to have
these pages posted by SundayÉ depending on how many I receiveÉ. HINT!
Email me with any questions what-so-ever (within reason).

It is difficult to get a man
to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

meaning to show DavidÕs photograph from a simple microscope.
I
think this is the head of a tick.
Here
are some heads of ticks from higher quality microscopes for comparison:

David mentioned something about happy and sad faces and
I looked into it a little.
Star/Planet
Trivia
♃-J-K-L-♀
Both were taken on 12/1/08, but one was taken in Tasmania,
Australia (I am guessing that they were looking NW?) and the other in the U.S.
(looking SouthWest).
We looked at this 2 days later on Dec. 3.
I presume that it is parallax that accounts for the two
different demeanors
(between the southern to the northern hemispheres).
If anybody wants some extra credit.
Draw up the paralax argument in approximate scale and with
numbers to ÒproveÓ why one is sad and the other is happy.
