CHEM 1314 Fall 2016 Annoucements

ACA7 is ready, and would be great practice for Exam #1.
Office Hours in the Academic Development Center: Maci Mondays at 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Rebecca is there on Thursdays at 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
This Week in laboratory you will be doing Experiment #2: Separation of a Solid Mixture. Separation is one of the primary activities of any synthetic chemist. While techniques used by practicing chemists are slightly different, the process and goals are the same. Be sure to complete the pre-lab questions.
If you are working on PS3 (Good Student!) be sure to checkout the DCI workbook, and look at the answers to those questions on the Assignment Page. That will help with the PS3 problems due Monday and Tuesday. Also BCE6 and BCE7 will be helpful. DCI p 20 and/or 21 have some of my favorite problems.
Answers to PS2 are now posted on your Personal Provblem Set page. Feedback will be posted later this weekend.
HELP! Session, Monday, September 11, 2017 beginning at 5:30 pm in PS141.
ACA6, BCE6 and BCE7 are now available on your Personal Page. Click on your ACAPage or the BCEPage on in the left frame on your Personal Page. You will need a calculator for the ACA and the BCEs.
Feedback for PS1 is now available on your Personal Problem Set page. Worked out problems for PS1 are also available.
Beginning the week of September 4, 2017 (starting on Tuesday September 5, 2017) you must have viewed the Safety Video, taken the Safety Quiz, checked-in to your locker, purchased the CHEM 1314 Laboratory Manual, and purchased or located an approved pair of safety goggles. Failure to completed the first three items, and arriving to the laboratory without the last two could result in a zero for the first laboratory experiment. Also remember the pre-lab questions for experiment #1 must be completed before arriving in the laboratory this week.
Here is the SI schedule as of Wednesday, August 30, 2017. Since the only SI sessions on Wednesday begin at 6:00 pm, let's try to start the HELP Session at 5:00 pm today in PS141, instead of 5:30 pm. Office Hours for Maci and Rebecca will be available in the next day or so.
If you missed any classes, checkout the class video page, accessible from your Personal Page. The link is in the right/main frame near the top of the page.
The first thing you need to do to access materials for CHEM 1314 is to complete the Secret Identification (SID) form. Click on the SID#/Name link in the left frame and complete the form. Once you have entered an SID, and then you can go to your Personal page. You will receive an e-mail from Dr. G. indicating your SID has been accepted. On your Personal Page check out the Assignment Page (what is happening in class), and get your personal Problem Set #0 and #1 at the Problem Set link. Do not worry about the BCE or ACA, I'll discuss those in class on Tuesday. Review the course Syllabus and the General Information Page.
Remember laboratory meets this week, beginning Monday, August 21, 2017. By the 2nd week of classes (Monday labs), or the 3rd week (Tuesday - Friday Labs) 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.

Follow the directions on the student's access card to get to the www.masteringchemistry.com website and use this COURSE ID to register: MCGELDER48964.
One thing I may forget to emphasize in class is that four or more laboratory classes missed will result in an automatic 'F' in the course.
Supplemental Instruction facilitators for Fall 2017 are Maci Petrini (maci.petrini@okstate.edu), and Rebecca Powers (repower@okstate.edu). Please complete the Doodle Poll (https://doodle.com/poll/x96uyb6v2q4gsmmh) to help the SI leaders setup SI session times. Complete by noon on Thursday, August 24, 2017. Here is a description of SI and how it works. More information.
Here are the books that you should have this semester. CHEM 1314 Laboratory Manual 2017 - 2018, During Class Inventions and Computer Lab Activities 3rd Edition, and Tro CHEMISTRY: A Molecular Approach (4th Edition).
SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY.....remember all the safety rules that were discussed during the first week of classes. If you are not dressed appropriately you are likely to be told to return home to change. A missed laboratory is recorded as a 0. Be careful!

Here is a cool Periodic Table with lots of video that I will use in class. This site will help you do PS1.1. NOTE: You will not be able to access this page if you are off campus. It will only work when you are using a campus IP address.
