  • If you are taking CHEM 1515 and are in section 001 - 006 go to the CHEM 1515 SP01 web page for class information.
  • The campus network will be down between Christmas and New Years. This server will be down during this period.
  • Update 2:30 pm, Saturday, December 16, 2000: Exam IV scores are available.
  • Update 12:00 pm, Friday, December 15, 2000: Final Exam Scores are now available.
  • If you have any questions about your Final Exam score or course grade you are encouraged to drop by and talk to me. Exam IV, Final Exam, and any laboratory experiments and homeworks your TA has given me are available in my office. Drop in, say hi, and pick up your stuff. I'll hold on to Exam IV and Final to the end of the Spring Semester. Labs and PS will get trashed sooner.
  • Update 9:00 pm, Thursday, December 14, 2000: Exam IV is almost complete. Two more problems and those should be graded on Friday. Final is done, except for two sections. I may be able to have Final Exam scores posted Friday morning. The high on the final so far is a 98!
  • Update: 9:30 pm, Tuesday, December 12, 2000: At this point Questions 3 and 7 on the Final and Questions 10 and 11 on Exam IV have not been started. These will not be started until Wednesday, Thursday and Friday respectively. Some of the other questions are incomplete, but will be finished on Wednesday.
  • Congratulations! You made it! I hope the rest of your finals go well. Check here for updates as we grade Exam IV and the Final.
  • Update: 7:30 pm Monday, December 11, 2000 myself and four TA's are grading tonight. I'll let you know how things are going before I leave this evening.
  • Update: 11:00 pm Monday, December 11, 2000 we are finished for this evening. Approximately half of the questions on the final exam have been graded. And questions 3, 4 and 5 have been graded on almost half of the Exam IV. Back at it in the morning.
  • PS17 is ready for you to do on the Web. The link is here. It must be completed by 5:00 pm on Wednesday, December 13, 2000. It consists of 9 multiple choice content related questions. Answer those questions to the best of your ability. 'I don't know' is an exceptable answer...if you do not know the answer. The remaining 8 questions ask for some feedback on the laboratory portion of CHEM 1314 this semester. After completing this form (remember to click the Submit button at the bottom of the form) and I will give you 12 points. You need to answer ALL the questions for the 12 points. I will not see your responses until after grades are submitted. But Dr. Montes will report to me the names of students completing the form and the number of questions completed.

    • ----Previous Announcements----

     

  • Here is an interesting site which has some photographs of a human, a cat and a view of downtown Seattle taken with an infrared camera...cool!
  • Here is an interview with Douglas Haynes. The first Pistol Pete Pizza Olympic Champion.
  • If anyone would like to talk to me about their grade on the exam or in the course you are welcome to drop by and we can talk. Call ahead or check the Webcam to be sure I'm in the office.
  • We have a winner. Douglas Haynes from the 3:30 pm section is the new Pistol Pete Pizza Champion Pizza Competitor Winner. Based on his time in three challenging events Douglas beat out a large super size group of challengers to end up as the BIG KaHoona. Douglas won a new television (lets all go to Douglas' to what the World Series...who'll bring the pizza?) plus a very cool medal. We'll try to get some video and possibly an on camera interview of the world champion...possibly even showing how he prepared for the grueling events.
  • Here is video announcing the high score for exam 2 in the 1:30 pm section and the 3:30 pm section.
  • If you are using a 56K modem to connect to our Web Site here is a digital lecture from September 18, 2000 which I have compressed for play at that speed. Check it out and let me know what you think.
  • I've added some sample Real audio files of some sample stoichiometry and sample limiting reagent problems at the Real Audio/Video link. You must have the Real Player (different from the QuickTime Player) to view/listen to these files. Check it out.
  • I've listed the room each section will take their exams this semester at the Exams link. Check it out. If you arrive late to the exam because you get lost and can not find the correct room I am under no oligation to give you the same amount of time to do the exam as those students who arrived on time. (Not that this will be a problem!)
  • Some new stuff to memorize
    •

    Tables 2.3 (p 67), 2.4 (p 69), 2.5 (p 69) and 2.7 (p 73). I'll give you some tricks to make Tables 2.3 and 2.4 real easy to remember, but Table 2.5 and 2.7 have to be memorized. I promise the first exam will have some nomenclature questions.

  • Here is an example of just one of the talents of Robert Sleezer, one of our CHEM 1314 student. If you have a skill that needs to be shared with the world on video, see dr. g.
  • I just had a talk with the Director of the General Chemistry Laboratories and it was agreed that ALL students must wear eye protection in the laboratories. So all students, including HBL, must get eye protection.
  • The tutoring schedule is now available at the Tutoring link. The TA's in red are CHEM 1314 TA's.
  • I've got an initial version of a digital lecture on Wednesday, August 23rd on the QuickTime/Real Lectures link so check it out. Send me an email and let me know what happens or if you have any problems. Welcome to the future!
  • I've listed some recommended problems from Chapters 1 and 2. The list can be found in the Problem Set link at the bottom of the page.
  • If you would like to practice and test your knowledge on significant figures here is some software which will randomly generate questions. There are more of these types of randomly generated questions at our Problem Set link. Just scroll down the page a little to get to the link.
  • 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. You do not HAVE to have an SID#/Name if you do not want to. There are some additional questions that I would like you to answer for some EXTRA CREDIT.
  • One of the more popular periodic tables on the web is at http://www.shef.ac.uk/~chem/web-elements/. Check out if you need to find some physical properties for any particular elements.
  • Start memorizing..avoid the rush!
  • Things to memorize;

    names and symbols of the first 20 elements and 20 common elements;
    the formula and phase of all of the elements in the periodic table;
    the common prefixes for SI units;
    .

  • Need some extra money? Love computers and like to do Web stuff? Anyone looking for some parttime work writing HTML for a campus project? Check with Dr. G or see Steve Hall in LSE208. You will need to have a resume describing your work/computer experience.
  • I've generated a short Self-Test which has a few questions to provide me with some feedback as to how much you might recall from your past chemistry experience. The Self-Test has six questions. It is not graded, I'd just like to get some information prior to Wednesday's class. Give it a try, see what you can remember. Go to the Self-Test link in the left frame.
