@Kara: This is the first time I have used the Hock textbook, so I can’t say how much it has changed since the first edition. What I can say is that, in writing the exam questions, I’ll assume that you have access to the second edition.

Dr. Gravlee,

If I wasn’t able to find the second edition of the book at the bookstore but found the first edition online, is there that much of a difference between the texts to need the second or will the first be ok?

@Jenn: Yes, just make sure you coordinate with your TA ahead of time.

Dr. Gravlee,

I know I will have to miss class on October 9th when a reaction paper is due, is it okay if I turn it in earlier?

Thanks, Jenn

Dr. Gravlee,

Do you take notes on the reading? or you just read them to prepare for the lecture and discussions?
This class seems like a good one to be into, and hoping to learn new things!

@Asami: There is no hard and fast deadline for completing the readings. But my advice is that you read the required material as early in the week as possible — but definitely before your discussion section. The reason is that you will get more out of my lecture if you have already done the background reading, and your discussion section will often be focused on the week’s readings.

Hi Dr. Gravlee,

Would you like us to have read the required readings by the very first class of the week or by the end of the week? Looking forward to learning more in your class.

It’s no bother, Kimmy. You don’t need to register your clicker for this class. The reason is that I will use the clickers to ask some sensitive questions, and I want you to be assured that your answers are anonymous.

Once you have the clicker, you don’t need to buy anything else.
