  • we will begin Chapter 11 in lecture on Friday, January 24th. When you turn-in the Review Problem Set and PS#1 be sure to get a copy of next week's laboratory (see What's up in lab on your personal page) and PS#2. If you do not get a copy of these two documents you can get them at your personal web page.

  • PLE4 is ready. Please note that this PLE is the first of many that will require the Shockwave Plug-in from MacroMedia. This plug-in allows your browser to play an animation. If your broser is not 'accessorized' with the ShockWave plug-in you will see a rectangle with a broken icon in the center. You will need to go to the MacroMedia site to download the plug-in.

  • The video for the first hour of Wednesday, January 22nd HELP Session is available at the QuickTime Video/Lectures link.

  • A few students are having some problems with the PLE. The message you receive is " There is a major problem. The PLE database does not recognize you. Your responses have been recorded into a SCRATCH database. Note the time you did this PLE and Contact Dr. Gelder." Inorder to diagnose this problem I need to better understand what you were doing at the time. So if you get this message send me an e-mail. I'm saving the responses to a SCRATCH file but there are NO names on the responses. How to avoid this problem?! Before doing the a PLE be absolutely sure that you see your name on your Personal web Page at the top of the left hand frame, and you see your name in the PLE form itself. If either are missing DO NOT DO THE PLE until you have re-logged in to your Personal Web page. The issue has to do with how much time you are on your personal web page and nothing is happening. If you have been logged on to your personal web page for a while, and done nothing it may have timed out, so it no longer knows who you are. Be careful before doing the PLE!

  • Beginning with PLE3 no more Dr. Nice-Guy...not done before lecture...I will not count it as complete.
  • In our staff meeting today Lisa mentioned that she could not find the Hf for HCN(aq) or for CN-(aq). I've looked those values up and they are 105 kJ mol-1 and 151 kJ mol-1 respectively.
  • Also in staff meeting it was mentioned that some students did not have an element in RPS8a part v) on the Review Problem Set. If that is the case go to your Personal Web page. You can get the missing element there. Copy it on to your Review Problem Set or print a new copy.
  • This semester I want to try using personal web pages. To take advantage of this new feature you will have to give me a Secret Identification number or name. Go to the SID#/Name link in the left frame and complete the information requested. After you have given me your SID information you will be able to access your own personal CHEM 1515 Web page through the Personal Page. The personal page will have information specifically associated with you: grades, PLE's, homework, exams, plus other way cool stuff. So get your SID set up now!
      • Since this is the FIRST time I have tried to use the Personal Web Page concept there are going to be problems. You must e-mail me, or contact me when you have problems so I can solve them quickly. Hang in there, it is going to be FUN! this semester.
  • You will need your individualize copy of the Review Problem Set before you go to Laboratory this week. After submitting your SID information go to your Personal Page and click on the Problem Set link. There you will be able to obtain your own Review Problem Set. If you have any questions contact Dr. G.
  • Here are this semester's laboratory sections. Be sure to bring your textbook and a calculator to laboratory this week! Yes! Labs are meeting this week (1/13/02 - 1/17/03).
