I've
now posted the number of PLEs I have for you at your Course Grades link on
your Personal Webpage. Please note that there were 34 PLEs this semester.
PLE2 was screwed up so I am dropping that PLE from the total. I will also
drop one more PLE from the total, to make 32 PLEs. If you have done 23 or
more PLEs (72%) I will adjust your two lowest (not 0's) PS to the maximum
possible...12. If you have completed 15 or more PLEs (47%) I will adjust 1
PS to the maximum possible. Please note that your total from your personal
page may not exactly agree with the total I have assigned. I have reviewed
your PLEs and I did not count PLEs that appeared more than one, blank PLEs
or PLEs that were all CNA and were done in less than a minute. All
grades are now posted. Please note that there were 12 students who completed
the survey but the survey's I received did not contain a name.You
guys totally rocked!! The class average was 70%!!! So I did not deviate at
all from the indicated percentages for A (85%), B (75%), C(55%) and D (40%).
The grades are now posted. If you find any errors in the posted scores (see
your personal web page) please contact me. At this point minor changes may
not have an effect, but maybe they will. My schedule now officially gets busy.
Best means of contact is e-mail. Have a great summer. If you would like your
Exam IV and V see me in the Fall. And thank you one more time for all your
hard work this semester.Grades
for Exam IV are now posted on your personal web page. Grades that are outstanding...for
Sec 2 and 7 PS#14 and Lab #12 are not ready yet. For everyone Lab6 is not
yet posted. These will be up in the next day or so. I've not dropped any labs
or PS so the Course % is slightly lower than what it will turn out to be after
I drop two labs and three PS. If you currently are just over the % break for
a particular grade, you've earned that grade. If your % is slightly below
the grade break whether you receive the higher grade will depend on the dropped
scores. More info as I have it.The
survey is ready. Please answer all of the questions as completely as you can.
You have until Sunday, May 11, 2003 at 5:00 pm to complete the Survey. For
completed surveys I will enter a score of 12 for PS15. You can access your
survey through your personal web page.Grades
for Exam V are now up on your personal web page. Check the My Course Grades
links. The average for Exam V is 58, and the high was a 99!!! Way to go Kaori!!
You get another bumper sticker and a new periodic table! Drop by my office.
Exam IV grades will probably be available on Wednesday.Here
is the link to the Extra Credit Assignment.
It is due by Sunday, May 11th at 5:00 pm. You can e-mail me the report, or
drop it by my office. If you mail (snail) the report I have to receive it
by Monday's mail to be counted. If you have questions e-mail, or see Dr. G.Answers
to Exam IV and V from SP02 are now linked from the What's Important page.Unfortunately
I have bad news for anyone waiting for the video for the Help Session. I forgot
to connect the audio cable to the camera, so the audio is trashed. I'm very
sorry about this. I have linked the video, so you can see me solving the problem.
It may be possible to get something out of just the video...and it may not.
I'm really sorry. I will be around Sunday afternoon if you have questions. New grades and new grade predictions are posted.
HELP
session at 4:30 pm PS141 Saturday, May 3rd!Check
your personal page for the room you are schedule to take your final exam.Two
students have remarked to me that they noticed a change in the number of PLEs
listed on their Personal Web page. Upon some investigation it appears that
PLE2 has dissappeared from everyone's (who did PLE2) personal list of PLEs
completed. I am trying to find out what happened. I do have a backup of PLE2
so everyone who did that PLE will receive credit. I just need to find out
what is up.I've
added a PS16 to your grades. This PS score was determined by awarding 3 points
to ICE #3, #4, #5 and #7. Points were awarded for attending class that day,
and turning in the ICE. I've also reposted the grade predictions. If anything
looks funky let me know.Do
you know your FINAL schedule?The
overall course average is 66%. This is most excellent. The average I would
like at the end of the semester is 65%. We're at 66% and we have not dropped
any PSs or labs. So on the average everyone is doing great. 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.
