Announcements (previous ones) or follow @3k4reactors 04 Mar: a summary of the course evaluations. Thank you for your valuable feedback. 05 Mar: as requested, I've posted some suggested problems for you to work on outside tutorials and assignments. 07 Mar: details about the course project are posted now. It is due sooner than you think. Material in prior classes and the coming classes are required to successfully complete this project. Update: you can do the project on your own; with one other person; or in a group of 3. Groups larger than 3 are not allowed, there isn't enough work in the project to have groups larger than this. Groups smaller than 3 obviously will require more work per person, but then that's your choice. 10 Mar: the next tutorial is posted, and is due as part of assignment 4 on Friday, 15 March in the Chem Eng dropbox, by 16:00; (or hand in at class on 14 March). 10 Mar: assignment 4 consists of the following: Questions 2 [9] and 3 [11 points] from tutorial 6. Question 1 from tutorial 7 [20 points]. Amna Hyder, McMaster Integrated Science, is conducting a study on student perceptions of scientific literacy at McMaster. This research is part of her Independent Project in the Honours Integrated Science program at McMaster University. As part of her research, Amna Hyder is inviting you to take part in a 15-question anonymous online survey that will take about 5 minutes to complete. Please use this link to complete the online survey. Thanks.
