Announcements
Next week SI will meet Wednesday (7/25) at 11 am in SCI W3007. Squeeze in those last questions before the
final on Thursday.
The cumulative (over
both semesters) final exam is Thursday July 26 at 10 am!
Course grades will be available in the Chemistry Dept. Office on
Friday during normal office hours. You
must come in person and bring an ID.
Grades cannot be emailed or given over the phone. Grades will be available on-line on Monday.
Free tutoring is also
available in the tutor center (Science Hall, 3rd floor off the
atrium). Schedule
here.
Schedule
Class meets M-F 11 am to 1 pm in AH N126. Class starts June 21 and goes until July 24, with the final on July 26. July 4 is a holiday.
There
are two different Lab groups all meet in SCI
E3023
Each group meets three times a week.
There will be no lab the first day of class, June 21.
Supplemental Instruction (SI) Sessions will be
available. These will meet from 9:50 am
– 10:50 am in SCI W3007 on Wednesdays and Fridays. (optional)
Study time—the
recommended amount of study time is a minimum
2 hours for each hour in class (4 hours per day beyond class and lab
time). This must be done regularly (between
classes). Many short (1 hour) sessions often work better than one long
one. Delaying to the weekend (or test)
will only increase the needed study time and make class time less effective.
Use the same calculator for practice that you will use on tests and quizzes.
Possible study time activities: Review/rewrite notes checking against text
for accuracy and completeness; List vocabulary, formulas or anything else that must
be memorized and make flash cards; Work and
rework in-class examples,
in-text examples, end-of-chapter problems and mastering chemistry problems
relevant to the day’s material (without
looking at the answers); Check your answers
against the key at the end of text or solutions manuals in library; Guess
what questions might be on the daily quiz, create your own quiz and make sure
you know the answers; Pretend you will be allowed one page of “help” for
the next quiz/test, decide what you would put on it, how you would organize
it...then do it (but you won’t actually get to use it on a quiz or TEST!); Visit
the tutor center or your instructor for help with anything that is unclear; Use other
chemistry texts for more example problems or different ways of seeing the
information (this class hasn’t changed much in 10 years, check out libraries,
the tutor center, what you can buy for a dollar from Amazon...); email me if
you have something to add to this list.
Final
Exam is
Thursday July 26 from 10 am to noon, same location, AH N126.

Dr. Myers has office hours from 1-2 pm M-F. But the rule is: “If my door is open, I am fair game.”
