CHEM 1314 Fall 2002 Annoucements

Last updated on Tuesday, December 10, 2002 at 2:30 pm

I have a few answers for Exam IV F97 linked on the Exam page.

I'm out of the office this afternoon (Monday, Dec 9th) from noon until...3 or 4. I will be around after 4 and this evening to answer questions.

Andy has dropped off labs and Homework for his students. You are welcome to drop by and pick up your work, or you can get it at the final.

I have completed Exam IV and I ended up with a few multiple choice questions. So be aware that there are about 5 MC questions on Exam IV.

I have the video for the both hours of last night's HELP Session posted at the QuickTime Video link.

OK New grades are posted. At least all the grades I have so far. Several TA's have not given me score for PS14 and 15 yet. Also several of the last laboratories have not been received. I have graded the Calorimetry and Activities of Metals experiment. The 4th Experiment is your score for the Activities of Metals lab. For Section 19 your first lab score is the Calorimetry lab. For sections 26, 27 and 29 it is Laboratory 6. The TAs will complete their grading as quickly as their schedules allow. I am working on the PLEs.

Rooms for final exam on Tuesday, December 10, 2002 at 4:00 pm - 5:50 pm.

If you did the Gas Law Simulation (this week or last week) I need you to complete a short survey. It will only take 5 minutes.

If you have not checked out by the end of this week see the Freshman Storeroom (PS242) as-soon-as-possible so you are not charged for checking out your locker.

I have a backup web site for our class at genchem1.chem.okstate.edu that MAY be useful in the event that intro.chem.okstate.edu is down. IF (and only if) intro is down, try genchem1.

Interested in opportunities for summer programs for pre-medical students. Check out this information I recently received from a former student.

Here is an interesting periodic table.

Since I was unable to videotape Friday's lecture I have reviewed my lectures from CHEM 1314 Fall 2000. There is a lecture on an introduction to VSEPR. Also PS13 has a question on formal charge, which I have not discussed in class. Check your text, or check out the lecture below.

Lecture, Wednesday, December 4, 2000:VSEPR stuff

Lecture, Wednesday, November 29, 2000: Formal charge

Lecture, Wednesday, November 22, 2000: Bond energy

Exam III Average is 56. You continue to do better! Lindsay Breece scored a 93 for the high on the exam! WAY TO GO LINDSAY! SWAG on Friday!

Curious about the chemistry associated with the colors of leaves this time of year? Check out Dr. Shakhashiri's 'Chemical of the Week' web site.

The current class average is 62.6%. This is very good. The best class average is 65%.

Check out the link to the web site for our textbook (BLB). The link is near the top of the left frame on our web site. Clicking on the link will take you to a page with an image of our textbook. Near the top of the page is a dropdown menu listing the Chapters in the text. Select a chapter and a page will be loaded for that chapter that contains links to resources. If you would like some practice problems try the Problem Soving Center. When the Problem Center page is load scroll down to the red button under flexible questions. Select the Homework link. This will generate a set of questions from the chapter. You will need a calculator.

I've added a link to the Brown/LeMay/Bursten Web Site run by Prentice-Hall. There are multiple choice 'quizzes' there that you can take to see how well you understand many of the concepts we have covered in Chapter 1. You should also not that at least one of the movies we viewed in class on Wednesday was from this site. That movie (the reaction of iron and sulfur) is also located on the CD that came in your textbook. There are some additional resources at the web site and on the CD that you may find useful.

Here is a very nice Periodic Table that contains lots of physical properties and chemical properties for the elements.

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.
