ACA#5 is now available on your Personal Page. You will need a calculator for the ACA. I also recommend trying the links in the ACA for extra help to figure out the vapor pressure question. I've asked Lisa to continue with talking about the relationship of vapor pressure with temperature. BCE#5 is also now available on your Personal Page. You will need a calculator for this BCE too.

The podcasts should be working now. Check the podcast link in the left frame and follow those instructions to access additional video materials that may be helpful. Have you already followed the information on the podcast link on the CHEM 1515 Web Site to download the podcasts? Did you do that before Monday of this week? If so you will need to delete the current podcast within iTunes and then reinstall the CHEM 1515 SP2011 by following the directions outlined on the podcast link on our web site. There was an error in the code that I fixed on Monday so everything works properly now.

I have posted the HELP! link for PS2 on your Personal Page. Be sure to note that the majority of the answers to PS2 are due by 12:00 pm on Friday, January 28, 2011. One answer is due by 12:00 pm on Monday, January 31, 2011.

I have assigned questions on intermolecular attractive forces and liquids in LearnSmart. Try five or so questions per day after Tuesday's class. Go ahead and try earlier if you have some time.
-
I have assigned a set of 11 questions (8 questions on intermolecular attractive forces and liquids, and 3 questions on organic). I will spend another 15 to 25 minutes discussing intermolecular attractive forces in class on Tuesday. I will discuss relative strengths of the IMAF, and how to answer essay questions comparing boiling points of covalent compounds. Look at the ACA#4 for an example. The last three questions covering organic are based on the Survival Organic Chemistry experiment that you are doing this week. The due date is Saturday, January 29, by 2:00 pm. If you have lab early in the week you can do those problems much sooner. I recommend not waiting to the last minute to complete these assignments. Since Connect and LearnSmart are new, it is very possible that the software will go down at random moments. So just a reminder.

Next week's laboratory is available on your Assignment Page that you can access from your Personal Page.

Grades from Problem Sets: I will use the responses that are submitted on the HELP! link on the Problem Set page to score 6 points on each Problem Set (RPS, PS#1, PS#2...). I will score 3 points from the LearnSmart based on completion (the more you do the more points, up to 3, you earn). I will score 3 points from Connect, again the more you do the more points, up to 3, you can earn. For the RPS and PS#1 for Connect points will be earned based primarily on completion.

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.

Be sure to bring your copy of the During Class Inventions and Computer Lab Activities Workbook to lecture and laboratory class.
