Here is a wiki poll on the use of a note card in the future quizzes. I wrote in the Email:
In terms of allowing a note card in the future quizzes, I am receptive to the idea. How does this proposal sound? 1. you are allowed to bring a note card carrying 10 equations and/or definitions. 2. you will turn it in on the Wednesday before the quiz. We will give a copy to you at the exam.

name accept proposal comments
KubotaYes no comments, just an example
Schrodinger's DogNoI don't think we need notecards, if needed you can write an equation sheet that has equations you think might be important. We also had the option to ask you if we weren't sure about an equations. I think this is good enough, cause it shows we understand what is needed and what needs to be used, instead of looking at a sheet and looking for the equations that I think I might need. But if people truly feels they need this, it doesn't really bother me.
AnaximenesNoI agree with Schrodinger's Dog. I'd also like to add that having an equation sheet is just license to make the test heavier on computations and lighter on concepts, which I think are more important. Another reason not to adopt the proposal is that it's hard to define; if you have an equation that says {expression 1} = {expression 2} = {expression 3} > {expression 4}, does that all count as one equation/definition? Would we have to use numbered equations directly out of Griffiths?
