Well, last week's Lab After Dark had tons of chaos, as expected, for the first time anyone has tried anything like this. I had lots of fun although I was running around so much I didn't get to monitor how well individual groups were doing. There are some amazing crystals in the display case in the D-wing, btw, if you'd like to peek at them before class tomorrow. Many of the sparklers, however, look rather sad. Though smelly, the floam syntheses turned out pretty awesome, I think.
This week, we will be having back-to-back minilectures by two of the department's most engaging professors: Dr. Gragson, who had to postpone from a couple of weeks ago, and Dr. Kantorowski. Afterwards the three of us will talk briefly about research opportunities for students and answer any questions you might have on that topic.
The following Monday we will not have class as my proposed field trip did not quite gel. The timing isn't quite right anyways as I'm pretty certain many of you have exams the following day.
Following Thanksgiving break, Week 11, we will have our final meeting and view the results of our Digital Scavenger Hunt. I will be handing out information on that exercise, and assigning teams, during tomorrow night's meeting. Note: You must attend tomorrow's class to participate in the Hunt.
This week's questions:
- What country/countries [that you've never been to] would you most like to visit? Reasons?
- Have you learned anything in chem 101 this quarter? Other than making beer? :)
- What classes are you most looking forward to, and most dreading, in your future?
- Ask your own question of yourself: and then answer it! (In other words, tell us something about yourself we don't already know).
