Weeks 11&12

Field trip is this week (Tue Nov 3). We will meet at the National Weather Service office at 7pm. The office is located at 520 North Elevar St, Oxnard, Ca 93030. Click here for a map...note that Google plots the office a little off...it is actually all the way at the end of Elevar St...on the right.

Please note that the field trip is NOT optional, and you will be responsible for the material covered. Please bring a paper pad or something to write on, as you will be standing up some of the time. Only minimal lecture notes and slides will be provided afterward. No PreNotes will be made for this.

New Syllabus Version download by Clicking Here (pdf)
Please note the following changes:
- New grading policy (dropping lowest grade of quiz/homework. Everyone also gets 10% freebie points to make total possible points an even 1000 pts)
- Due to the lack of interest, i have changed my office hours to "by appointment." If you wish to meet, let me know along with some date/times and I would be more than happy to meet. I will have a set office hour for the last two weeks however, in preparation for the final exam.

Homework #2 - download by Clicking Here (pdf) FIXED
- Note that it is due a week earlier (Nov 24) than on the first version of syllabus. This will give me a chance to grade and return the HW at the Final review session...so you can study it for the final. Since this is a last minute change, i will accept the HW for full credit on the original due date, but you will not be able to see it graded before the final exam.
