  • Do PS7.1, 7.2 and 7.5 to turn-in at the beginning of class on Tuesday, February 26, 2008.



  • HELP! Session, Sunday, February 24, 2008 in PS141 beginning at 6:45 pm. Questions for Exam II.




  • PLE#13 and ACA#12 are now available on your Personal Page. You will need a calculator for the ACA. The PLE may require your browser to be accessorized with a version of Sun's Java RunTime Environment, if so I have provided detailed directions (it will take 2 minutes) for you to download the software that will allow you to access the animation needed for the PLE. We will be using this animation, and others similar to it for the next few weeks, so you will want to accessorize your browser for this to work. If you are on a Mac, everything should work.



  • Exam II is scheduled for Wednesday, February 27th beginning at 5:30 pm in the same room as Exam I.



  • Be sure to check out the Help link for Problem Set #6. I am likely to award a few extra credit points for using that page. I noted on PS5 that students who used the Help link had a higher average score compared to students who did not use the link.


For those students who still have their original cards from the Honors Thesis survey, there will be a second opportunity to participate in the 10-minute survey and win a gift card to Eskimo Joes. As a reminder, the survey is entitled "Learning style trends of undergraduate pre-health students," and the investigator is James Harlan (james.harlan@okstate.edu). Each card should have a 4-digit number which will be used to take the survey. For every 30 students who participate, one $20 gift card will be offered. Winning numbers will be posted on the survey website on February 9th.

.

Grades are posted. The class average is 66. Two students received a score of 97. These two students will receive some swag in class on Thursday, and get to be taped to share with their family...cool. Awesome performance on our first CHEM 1515 exam. Here is the class distribution.



The During Class Invention and Computer Lab Activities Workbook is now available in the Student Union Bookstore. Looks like it is time to pickup a DCI in class.!

  • 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 (what is happening in class), and get your personal Review Problem Set. If you want to see a video covering the CHEM 1515 Web site than checkout the video podcast. Click on the Podcast link in the left frame to learn how to subscribe to the CHEM 1515 podcasts for this semester.


  • Remember laboratory does meet this week. Students will view the Safety Video and take the Safety Quiz. You will need your textbook and calculator in laboratory this week.


  • Be sure to bring your copy of the During Class Inventions and Computer Lab Activities Workbook to lecture and laboratory class. By mistake (through Monday, January 7, 2008) the Bookstore placed the Volume II DCI Workbook with CHEM 1314. The Volume II (it is green) DCI and Computer Lab Activities goes with CHEM 1515.
