CHEM 1314 Fall 2007 Annoucements

Last modified: Wed 12/31/1969 06:00:00 pm

Problem Sets to be turned in at the beginning of class MUST be received by the beginning of class, otherwise they are late. If a problem set is late it will not be graded. DO NOT turn Problem Sets into the envelope at my office when they are due in class.
PS2.1 - PS2.7, and PS2.10 of Problem Set #2 are due Thursday, September 6, 2007 at the beginning of class. PS2.8 and PS2.9 are due by 4:00 pm on Friday, September 7, 2007 in the envelope for your section hanging on the wall outside PS201.
PLE#5 and ACA#5 are now available on your Personal Page.

REMEMBER to complete the on-line pre-lab activity for this week's experiment. You will need a calculator for this activity. DO NOT forget you must wear approved eye protection in laboratory this week.
Beginning this week (September 3, 2007) there are clothing requirements for laboratory. Students will not be allowed in laboratory with shorts or any type of open-toed foot wear. Be sure to complete the pre-lab before going to lab!!

Podcasts for the first two weeks of lecture are available. Also check the podcasts for sample exams and help on problem sets. If you need information on how to access the podcasts check this link.
Still having some issues with significant figures and conversions? There are two podcasts where I go over in great detail problems similar to those on the problem set #1. Check it out! Check out the Description to see which podcast discusses which concepts.
Here are some questions that were posted on ACA#1 from students and my responses. I'll try to answer more and post them here. Have more questions? Ask away.
If you are in Section 18 and have a conflict with the 8:30 - 10:20 am time please send me an e-mail with the number of the lab section (14 - 21) that works best with your schedule.
Welcome to CHEM 1314 Fall, 2007. I hope everyone is as excited about the beginning of the semester as the teaching assistants and I.
The first thing you need to do to access materials for this class is to complete the Secret Identification (SID) form. Click on the SID#/Name link in the left frame and complete the form. You will receive an e-mail from Dr. G. indicating your SID has been accepted. Once you have entered an SID, fill out the additional form for some extra credit, and then you can go to your Personal page. On your Personal Page check out the Assignment Page (what is happening in class), and get your personal Problem Set #1. Do not worry about the PLE or ACA, I'll discuss those in class on Tuesday. Here is a QuickTime movie of the login procedure, if you would like to watch that (NOTE: this example is from CHEM 1515, so just be aware of that difference).
Remember laboratory meets this week. By the 3rd week of classes you will be expected to wear safety goggles all the time you are in laboratory. A graduate student will visit your laboratory to sell inexpensive safety googles during the 2nd week of classes.
Do you have iTunes (version 7)? Are you downloading any podcasts? (Note you do not need a video iPod or a Mac to subscribe to the video podcasts.) Inquiring minds want to know...actually I do. If you do not have iTunes (which you need to subscribe to a podcast) on your computer checkout the Apple iTunes download web site. To access the General Chemistry Fall 2007 Podcast click on the podcast information link in the left frame. Check out the videos on problem solving, they may help on your Problem Sets and Exams. I also have a sample exam discussion on the podcast.
