The teaching assistant for this class is Rachel Daly. Her email is daly6823@vandals.uidaho.edu. Her office hours are Mondays and Tuesdays, 1-2 pm, Mines 221.

You will need to acquire the following materials needed for the labs: colored pencils, a ruler (metric), a set square (for drawing 90 degree angles), a protractor, a calculator with trigonometric functions, scissors, scotch tape, and a drawing compass.

There will be a mandatory field trip to the Lake Mead region of Nevada in late April. We will depart early on Monday, April 20th (exact arrangements to be discussed in class) and will return on Sunday, April 26th. We will be camping at the Echo Bay campground, on the north shore of Lake Mead. Please be sure to arrange your own camping equipment. People should be sharing tents wherever possible to lessen the amount of equipment we will need to take with us. Breakfast will be provided in camp (limited cooking equipment will be available). Lunches will be prepared each morning in camp and taken with us in the field (we will not return to camp until the evening).

Dinners will likely be at the local restaurant at Echo Bay. Please see the link for the ECHO BAY RESTAURANT MENU to see what is offered. I would like each of you to consider the options and prices on this menu. I think it may be just as cost-effective to eat at this restaurant as it will be to buy and cook food in the camp. However, the final decision will be based on a majority vote by the class. Everyone should email me no later than Tuesday, April 14th, 9.30 am, to let me know if you want to vote yes or no for eating at the restaurant. As a class, we can also decide on a cap on how much any one person will be allowed to spend on their dinner.
