  • Do you know your FINAL schedule?

  • The PLE for Wednesday is ready.

  • Here is a Table of Standard Reduction Potentials that is in a form more use to the Problem set.

  • HELP Session, Wednesday, April 23rd at 7:30 pm in PS101.

  • We agreed at the end of class today to postpone PS13 until Friday, April 25th.

  • The Pre-Lab activity for Experiment #10: Oxidation-Reduction is now ready. Go to the What's Up in Laboratory on your Personal web page. This activity must be completed before going to laboratory. I recommend you print the activity so you can use it in laboratory. This activity requires you use a Flash animation. Remember the computers in the Library do not play Flash animations. Try the computers on the 4th floor of the Classroom Building. If you are doing the activity on your computer and the animation does not load you may have to go to www.macromedia.com and download the Flash 6 plug-in. If you have any problems let me know.

  • You should be able to do PS13.1 and some of PS13.2 after Friday's lecture.

  • If you are going home for Easter be safe and have a nice weekend.

  • After today's class you should be able to do PS13.1 where the solution is acidic. we'll talk about basic solutions on Friday.

  • Check out the What's Up In Laboratory link on your Personal Web page. I have prepared replacement Pre-Laboratory questions for Experiment #8.
  • Grades are up. You guys kicked butt on this exam!!! I have an average of 73 points and a high score of 98!! CONGRATULATIONS to Kaori Uekusa! Way to go!! Lots of swag on Friday!!! Check out how you did! Exams will be returned in laboratory.

  • This week in laboratory we are doing Experiment #9: Potentiometric Determination of an Equilibrium Constant! Check out the pre-lab. Also check What's up in Laboratory on your personal web page there are a few of the pre-lab questions that you will not have to do.

  • The overall course average is 64%. This is most excellent. The average I would like at the end of the semester is 65%. We're at 64% and we have not dropped any PSs or labs. So on the average everyone is doing great.


  • 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.
