  • HELP!! Sessions
  • I've updated your grades. I've added scores for PS#1 and PS#2, one lab experiment, the number of PLEs and DCIs (see PS#16) completed for the first exam, and whether you completed DCI#3, 6 and 8 (Y means yes, N means no). If you do not agree with the PLE, ACA or DCI numbers that I have included please check with me. At the bottom of the page is your Crs %. This is a projection based on your performance to date that includes PS, Lab and Exams.
  • ACA#7 and PLE#8 are now available on your Personal Page.
  • PS3.8 - PS3.10 are due Thursday, September 22nd at the beginning of class. Also pickup PS#4, we will begin talking about it in class on Tuesday following our discussion of the last three problems on PS#3.
  • Scores are now posted on your Personal Page. Go to the My Course Grades Link in the left frame on your Personal Page. I will be posting problem set and laboratory scores by Friday. The average for Exam I is 60...which is very good! Three students received scores of 99!! (Unfortunately no 100's this time). Very cool. These students will receive some swag at the beginning of class on Thursday!!

  • WANT SOME ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS TO PRACTICE IN PREPARATION FOR EXAM I? Check out the Student Access Kit in the Media Pak that was shrink-wrapped with your textbook. Follow the instructions for registering that are provided in the Student Access Kit to logon to the Prentice Hall web site. When you are registered checkout the Practice Problems I and II. Also check out the a link to another 'older' web site for Brown, LeMay and Bursten which has even more problems to practice on. Click on the Jump to... dropdown menu list near the top of the web page. There are a set of more interesting problems at the second web site. HAVE FUN!!!

  • Remember for laboratory this week, no open-toed footwear, and no shorts. You will be expected to wear safety goggles all the time you are in laboratory.
  • Here are some quick responses to the last question on ACA#4 (If you could ask one question...).
  • Here are some quick responses to the last question on ACA#2 (If you could ask one question...).
  • The video for both class meetings are posted on the Assignment Page. Just click on the class date on the Week 1 Page. They are QuickTime format. If you have any problems viewing the video try using the Mac's in PS102. Remember you will need you Student ID to swipe to gain access to the room, and you must know your PRISM password.
  • 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, and get your personal Problem Set #1. Do not worry about the PLE or ACA, I'll discuss those in class on Tuesday.
  • If you have not yet purchased your textbook (and even if you have) you might consider whether you would prefer an electronic version of the textbook rather than a hard copy version. This option may work for some of you. The catch? It is priced approximately half of the cost of the hard copy version of the textbook. The electronic version of Brown, LeMay and Bursten is now available. You can also check the OSU Bookstore web site for details.
  • Your TA's e-mail address is below.

    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 Solving Center. When the Problem Center page is loaded 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.

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