Students (and TA staff) in all lab sections should have received email on Tuesday (7 Sept) night about the Lab 1 pretest being posted in the Assignments section of Blackboard for your lab section of PHY 124. The email was the same Announcement that also appeared on Blackboard. I know that many of you have logged in and at least started the Lab 1 pretest, which exists within the Maple TA "plugin" for Blackboard. There are 5 multiple-part questions in the pretest; each question is worth a maximum of 7 points, giving 5x7=35 points maximum in all. Partial credit is given for partially correct answers, but there is no limit on how many times you may re-do the pretest. You may check how you did on each question, and when you're done with an attempt on the whole pretest, you may check your overall grade for it. I logged in as a student, took the pretest, and did all of these steps. So far, as the instructor I am able to monitor how many students are logged in on the pretest for each section, but a software glitch prevents me from seeing the pretest grades for each student. The Blackboard support staff is now working to correct that.
Make sure you do not wait until the last minute to complete the Lab 1 pretest because, as was contained in the Announcement/email, you will cease to have access to the pretest at the time your lab section begins.
Good luck!

I am now able to view the Maple TA gradebook for each section. I see that many of you have not yet received any grades, even partial grades, for the Lab 1 pretest. It's best not to wait too long.

It's Friday 6 pm, and I just scanned through the Blackboard gradebook for all 8 PHY 124 lab sections. So far only 14 students have grades entered for the Lab 1 pretest: 2 in L01, L02, L05, L06, L08; 3 in L03,; 0 in L09. I see that many more students than that have logged in to the Lab 1 pretest but only 14 have grades posted. Don't wait until the last minute.

Our grade will be secured when we press "quit and save" even if we sign in again, is this correct?
When you are talking about the equipotential lines being "parallel" or "perpendicular" is that in reference to themselves or compared to the direction of the electric field?
