Working
on PS5? I've started some Help! SHOW ME!/WATCH ME! problems. Check it out
on your Personal Web page.The
PLE for Monday's class is ready. You will need a calculator (one calculation),
and the PLE has both a Shockwave movie and QuickTme movies. You will not see
any of the animations or the movies on ANY computer in the LIBRARY. Go to
the Classroom Building 4th floor, or the Math Science building. Remember the
Shockwave and QuickTime plugins are available from our Plugin link on the
main CHEM 1515 web page.OK,
I made a big mistake in class on Friday, February 7th. I forgot to pass out
next weeks laboratory! I will pass it out in class on Monday. But Monday students
need to get a copy to do the pre-lab! Go to your Personal page and go to the
laboratory information link. You can access the pdf version of the lab and
print it out so you can do the pre lab.The
class average on this exam was 60!!!!! The highest grade was a 96 by Todd
Mollet! CONGRATULATIONS Todd! Way to go. Lots of swag on Friday. I have some
new stuff from my trip to Washington! I'm working on the grades database and
the software for the personal page. So another 30 minutes and grades will
be up.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! 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.
Here are this semester's laboratory sections.
