Pariah Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 (Also, as an aside: The percentage of teachers who will change your grade just because you say "I need that A" may not be exactly zero, but it's probably not much higher than that. Personally, I'm happy to adjust your grade if there's a legitimate issue with it, but I absolutely will not give you an A you haven't earned just because you feel you 'need' it. Just FYI.)

Pariah Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Yesterday I had my Honors Physics students do a calorimetry lab that I borrowed from our friends in the Chemistry department. I got all the lab reports graded and scores entered before I left the building at 3:30. I'm fairly certain that's not the very first time that has happened, but at the moment I can't recall another time I managed to do that. Logan D.

Pariah Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Question: Philosopher Bertrand Russell once claimed that there's a teapot out in space orbiting the Sun. (He also claimed that you can't disprove the existence of the teapot, but that's another conversation.) If it takes the teapot 32 months to orbit the Sun, where is it?
