  • Sorry about not having new lecture notes available or the videos from class. I've been working on a proposal that is due early next week and it has taken most of my extra time. I've been doing some of the video as a break from the proposal. But it takes time to create this stuff. Hopefully I'll have some additional notes and video up this weekend. No races this weekend, it is Easter. Oh, yea! I hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

  • Monday, April 10, 2000 lecture is now available at the QuickTime/Real Video link on our Web site. Recall in Monday's class I did calculations of the type you must do in PS14.
    •
  • I have completed Real Audio files for two limiting reagent problems done in class on Friday, March 31, 2000. These files will help if you are having difficulty with limiting reagent problems on the Problem Set. You may also look at the Lecture Notes from CHEM 1215 Fall 1999.
  • OK it is finally up! Friday, April 7, 2000 lecture is now available at the QuickTime/Real Video link on our Web site.

  • This week's laboratory is Experiment #14: Stoichiometric Relationships. In this experiment you will determine which of three possible carbonates you have by using the concept of percent yield. The reaction in this experiment is VERY important. I recommend you learn it. Also you need to be comfortable with the calculations used in this experiment.

  • Here is the 'Award Ceremony' from class on Friday, April 7, 2000.

  • I stopped by the 4th floor of the Classroom Building to check out the computers. I learned several things. First, take head phones. The computers in the campus laboratories are not equiped with speakers. Since the Real files I've prepared play sound you'll need head phones. Second, you may have to install an updated version of the Real player. Just follow the instructions on the screen. If you have any problems check with the laboratory monitor. Those of you with your own computers with speakers, or access to same will be better off when looking at these files. If you have problems in any campus computer labs be sure to say something to the lab monitor. If you do not tell the monitors what you need on the computers to access class materials the computers will not get upgraded!

  • Dr. G's new computer!
    •
  • Check out the WebCam I set-up in my office.
    •
  • Check out the reaction between sodium and chlorine. I'd like your comments and any questions you might have. If anyone comes up with some good suggestions and/or questions and if the publisher pays me anything I'll treat the class to something special.

  • CIS says if Quicktime is not on the computer you are using to view a file containing a movie that you can go to the Apple Web Site and download the quicktime player. Here is the QuickTime download web site link...
    •
  • Anyone having problems viewing the QuickTime Movies? Let me know. I checked the Library and could not view the movies. I've talked to the technology people about placing QuickTime for Windows on the systems in the Library. I'll know in a day or if that is going to be done.

  • The grades link now includes scores of three problem sets, two laboratory experiments and one exam.
    •
  • Laboratory this week is Hard Water and Water Softening. This experiment was passed out in class on Friday because it is not in your Laboratory Manual. Please see Dr. G. before your laboratory if you did not get a copy.
    •
  • 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.
    •
  • 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.
