40 of you responded to my Doodle poll and the results were really helpful. I am going to try out the following as office hours for this semester:
Except for the computer troubles, I thought today’s lecture went surprisingly well. Too bad that we didn’t get through the entire set of slides, but I’ll show them to you on Monday. Here is a copy of the slides from today’s lecture.

This has nothing to do with o chem, but watching 5000+ small birds fly
into a chimney (they sleep there) is one of the most fascinating and FREE displays of
urban wildlife you will ever see and it coincides with the start of the
school year. I try to catch it at least a few times every year and I
will be there tonight. Here’s some helpful info for swift viewing:
Directions: The chimney is located at the west end (hilly side) of Chapman Elementary school. The school is located next to a park on NW 25th between NW Pettygrove & NW Raleigh. After you see the swifts, you can walk over to NW 23rd for dessert – many many establishments will be happy to serve you between 7-9 PM. Map
Best viewing: Get there about 20 minutes before sunset and watch the birds collect and feed. It takes awhile for all of them to go into the chimney so you’ll be there after sunset (full moon tonite). Most people watch from the hillside on NW Pettygrove.

The Psych aud. is already committed to some other campus groups for Thursday evenings, so lab lectures will stay in Eliot 314, 6:10-7:00 Th.
There is a llab lecture tonite featuring Kathleen Fisher, the director of Environmental Health & Safety and important information about next week’s lab schedule and safety procedures. See you tonite.
Some helpful safety links (also available from the lab manual‘s table of contents)
I posted the study guide for chapter 1 yesterday but forgot to tell anyone. Maybe you’ve seen it already? You can follow this link or the one on Study Guides page.
You can download all of the slides (in color) from today’s lecture here.

I think it’s totally impossible to find some office hours that will work for everyone. But I’m going to try and make myself as available as possible.
Please tell me which of MY “free” hours are also YOUR “free” hours by using the Doodle poll link that I’ve emailed to each of you. (Note: I’m not posting the link here because I don’t want the whole world to vote. Just you.)
Instructions for completing the poll:
Thanks
It was incredibly crowded in Eliot 314 this morning. So, even though I love the room (it’s where I started teaching back in 1989), the sunlight, the traffic sounds from Eliot circle, the difficulty of seeing the white boards from certain locations, and I know you love it too …
we will meet for lecture (a true *lecture*) in the Psych auditorium Wed, Sep 2, 9 AM. See you in our new location.
