Students, in this blog post you will find many important resources and updates to the syllabus. In particular....Your last regular Unit Test has been rescheduled for Friday, May 13th. There will be an After-School Study Session beginning at 3:15 and going until 5:00 on the prior date, Thursday, May 12th.
To help prepare for that Test, here is the latest set of Lecture Notes, and here is the PDF file of the Lecture Guide based upon the notes. The previous sections of notes to be covered appears here, and here.
Perhaps most importantly, here is the link to the previous blog post describing your 600-point final semester project , which consists of writing multiple drafts of a guided essay. The first draft was due on Friday, April 29th. THE SECOND DRAFT IS DUE WEDNESDAY, May 11th!
Finally, the title of the latest group of notes, incidentally, is taken from the Daniel Dennett book which also inspired a two-hour episode of the NOVA 'Evolution' series. This episode is being shown in class in its entirety over the course of several lessons, and students may eventually be asked complete a Study Guide based on this program.
To help students master this material, the entire video has been made available through this YouTube channel, broken into 11 segments, shown below:To help prepare for that Test, here is the latest set of Lecture Notes, and here is the PDF file of the Lecture Guide based upon the notes.
