  • I need some volunteers to attend a seminar on Monday, February 7, 2000 at 3:45 pm. A candidate for the Coordinator of General Chemistry will be giving a 20 minute seminar on the topic of water at a level appropriate for introductory chemistry students. If you can attend see me in class or send me an e-mail. Thank you.

  • If you check the Problem Set link you will find a link to some drill-and-practice problems. These are some problems which are randomly generated which will test your ability to do conversions. Take some time and see how well you can do...organic entity against silicon entity. Get a group together and have a game out of it, get a question right and everyone else has to drink some...pop! yea, pop.

  • One of the students in our class pointed out that I had an error in the number of significant digits in Self-Test 4 problem 2c. I've corrected that error. If you printed out the Response sheet before this afternoon at 1:30 pm you might want to check that problem.
  • HELP Session, Monday, January 31, 2000 at 7:00 pm in PS141.

    • The way I run my Help Sessions is to begin by asking questions. I make a list of the questions (usually around 10 -15) on the board and I do the questions in the order asked. The one question I do not answer in the Help session is, 'Would you do a problem over, blah.' During the Help Sessions I will not make-up problems, you give me a specific problem to do and I'll do it, but I will not make them up. The reason for this is if I make one up too hard, everyone gets pi--ed, if it is too easy and there is a harder problem like it on the exam, everyone gets p--sed. So if I just do problems given to me by students, fewer students get --ssed. (does any of this make sense?)

  • If you do not know the answer to any of the self-test questions an acceptable response is 'I do not know' (IDK).

  • PLEASE! I will not accept any late problem sets. If your PS is not turned in at the beginning of class it is late! If you turn your PS into the Chemistry Office it is late and you will receive a 0 for that problem set. It is a fairness issue. If everyone turns in the PS on time I can not allow other students extra time to complete their PS. If it is late you have taken extra time. If anyone has any problem with this policy please e-mail me.

  • There is a new InClass Problem Set which you will work on with a partner in discussion this week. Be sure to bring your textbook and calculator to laboratory this week.
    •
  • If you can not make class (for whatever reason) when a Problem Set is due I will accept it if you mail it and the postmark is the day the problem set is due or earlier. You are also welcome to FAX (405-744-6007), but that can be expensive.
  • Need a periodic table? Check the Database link. I recommend the WebElements Periodic Table.

  • The Chemistry Department offers free tutoring in PS023. For a tentative schedule go to the Free Tutoring link. The tutoring will begin Monday, January 17, 2000. Names in red are our TA's and they will know more about what is happening in our class. TA names in blue have taught 1215 with me before.

  • Welcome to CHEM 1215. In order to post grade information (scores on problem sets, laboratory's and exams) I need your permission. Go the SID#/Name link and enter a number, name or combination unique to you. I will post grade information using your SID# or SIDName. There are some additional questions that I would like you to answer for some EXTRA CREDIT.
