HELP Sessions of the future....rooms to be determined. I'll post that information as soon as I have it. Remember to check the General Information link in the left frame on this page for information about problem sets, laboratory experiments, exams and overall course grade information. Some of the questions I have receive can be answered by reviewing the information on this page.I am entering grades into the spreedsheet this morning. Updated grades should be up by 11:00 am today, Thursday, December 15, 2005.CHEM 1314 final exam is Tuesday, December 13, 2005 at noon to 1:50 pm in the same room your 1st and 3rd exam. Check you Personal Page for te correct room. Answers to PS#14 are posted on your Personal Page.With regards to PS13 you do not have to do PS13.7. We will spend a little time on Tuesday discussing delocalized electrons. I had a very brief discussion on sp3 and sp2 hybridization at the end of class on Thursday. Look at pages 361 - 365 for information to help you answer PS13.4. Come to the Help Session if you have questions on PS13.6. We've discussed parts a and b in that question (using atomic orbitals), part c is more interesting. Here are two lectures on hybridization that you are welcome to review. You need QuickTime to access the lectures. Lecture on sp3 hybridization (check the last 20% of this video), and a second lecture on sp2 and sp hybridization.If you would like some practice predicting the polarity of molecules here is a link that you might try. Do not go to the CHEM 1515 Problem Set page as it goes no where. Just practice on the different molecules. I've updated grades. Remember if any of your grades are in error talk to your TA. I've also completed the grade prediction link (below the My Course grades link). This page must be CAREFULLY read so you understand what I have done. IMPORTANT: If I have made an error in calculating anyone's grade I apologize. If as a result of such an error you earn a wrong number of points on EXAM IV and the FINAL, I will NOT take responsibility for you not earning a particular grade. DOUBLE CHECK ALL MY CALCULATIONS!!!!ACA#24 and PLE#25 are now available on your Personal Page.Problem Sets #13 and #14 are now available on your Personal Page.
The average on exam 3 is 56. The high score was a 94...and it is a first offender!! CONGRATULATIONS! to Jenny Winters...lots of swag in class on Thursday...and you'll be on video for all your friends and family. Grades posted by 2:00 am.
Be sure to get your copy of PS#12 it is due Thursday, December 1, 2005. Answers to DCI#27 are now posted on the Assignment Page for Tuesday, November 15, 2005. These will help with the Problem Set. Also checkout the video podcast for Exam IV Part 1. I work out the Lewis structure for several molecules. I've added some sample problems on the video podcast for our class. See the information in the next item down about using the current version of iTunes for video podcasts. (Note you do not need a 5G iPod or a Mac to subscribe to the video podcasts.) If you do not have iTunes (which you need to subscribe to a podcast) on your computer checkout the Apple iTunes download web site.
Do you have iTunes (version 6)? Are you downloading any podcasts? Inquiring minds want to know...actually I do. To access the General Chemistry Fall 2005 Podcast, open iTunes and select Advance Menu Option. Pick the Subscribe to Podcast and enter the address http://introchem.chem.okstate.edu/rss.xml into the dialog box. This will subscribe you to the CHEM 1314 Video Podcast. You may select which videos you would like to download. 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. Checkout Sample Exam #3 Part 1 and Sample Exam #3 Part 2.Exams are graded and the scores are posted. The high was 97. Takihiro Nago and Whitney Pruitt were repeat offenders. CONGRATULATIONS!! You rocked and rolled (on the average) with a class average of 64. WAY TOO GO!!! More swag for Takihiro and Whitney at the beginning of class. NOTE: I am still waiting for some grades from the TAs so do not stress if some of your PS or lab scores are not posted. I will included the PLE/ACA PS in the next day or so. Be sure to do the PreLaboratory questions linked on your Personal Page. You will need a calculator for the questions. Be careful, your answers will be graded for part of your laboratory grade.
