The End of Course Test will be given on these days from 10:30 to 11:40 in the MacLab. During class, students will be able to read silently, or work on other assignments from classes they missed in order to take the test.

posted on: May 08, 2006

For the next 10 days, students will be working on a project to make a bridge out of toothpicks. Students will be placed in groups of 5 people. Each person will choose a job to do for their construction company. The majority of the work will be completed in class. Once in a while, you may have to finish up whatever was not done in class.

HW:
During this project, i recommend that students spend time reviewing each chapter in the book in order to prepare for the final exam. The chapter review is a good resource.
