Wednesday Review. Pizza issues.

On Wednesday at 5:00 PM we will have a special meeting in ISB 235. There we will review, discuss, and ask questions about everything we have learned. This is important. Please don't miss it. There will be Pizza. Chris Kinney is in charge of getting the pizza and perhaps other things to eat.  Please post here regarding what kind of pizza you prefer, etc.

Things to think about:
1. what is the essential thing (or things) that makes a semi-conductor a semi-conductor?

2. what one key thing (or maybe more) do you need to understand to be able to model and understand most inhomogeneous semi-conductor systems (that is, semi-conductor devices?

3. what is the essential thing (or things) that makes a metal a metal?

4. Why are some metals weird?

Think about it and perhaps try to work toward really short answers (while still retaining in your mind the sense of nuance and complexity that these subjects deserve). For example, one might be able work toward two-word answers for 2, 3 and 4, more or less.

  1. Are you going to make a poll about what type of pizza we should get?
    We should have a poll about toppings on pizza.

  5. I can't have dairy, so just throwing out a suggesting for the others in case there aren't votes on the pizza (writing this, there are no votes).

    Costco sells a supper cheap and delicious pizza for $10. Large, close-ish to campus, don't need a costco membership to go in (just say you are going to the food court), and you have the choice of pepperoni, supreme (or "combo" on their menu), and cheese. I believe you can custom order the pizza too, but I may be wrong. Either way, can't beat a large multi topping pizza for $10.

    Getting one of each probably covers all dietary needs and would be sufficient to feed everyone in the class.

    But, again, I won't be eating it. Just throwing out a default suggestion in the event that no one votes.

  6. Either the votes are just slow to appear, or the polls aren't updating. Anyone else try to vote?

  8. I see what you mean about the polls. I have no idea what's wrong. Does anyone know how to fix that?
