Re: Caboose?

I find it increasingly common for students to not know what a record player
or vinyl record is. The "penny on the record player" problem is harder for
them to deal with.

I guess it is time for me to retire!

Two years ago I gave my students in statistical mechanics an
assignment (take home) to write a precis on a topic. *Most* of
them asked me what a precis is.

Many upper level physics students have not been introduced
sufficiently well to a dictionary. (Great leap, but I believe!)
