This is a reminder there is a review tomorrow, Sunday, 2/23, 2-4 PM
in 1000 McPherson.<br>
I apologize for this being so late. I haven't been feeling well
this week and was trying to get<br>
a little more sleep. <br>
<br>
The quiz keys and blank quizzes are up. While they quizzes are <br>
similar it's a good idea to at least try the problems on quizzes
from <br>
different days than your own. There is enough difference between <br>
the days you should be looking at all of the quizzes, perhaps
actually <br>
taking them as if they're the real thing and time yourself. <br>
<br>
To find the info for the practice exams go to the "Practice Exams"
link<br>
on my web page. After reading this go to Carmen. Click on
"Modules"<br>
in the menu. Then click on the "Exams" module. Once there click on<br>
the "<span class="type_icon" title="Page"> <span
class="ig-type-icon"> </span> </span> <span class="item_name">
<a title="Preparing for Midterm Exams: Using Practice Exams"
class="ig-title title item_link"
href="https://osu.instructure.com/courses/72123/modules/items/3541449">
Preparing for Midterm Exams: Using Practice Exams </a></span>"
sub-module.<br>
Read the info there. Then click the link at the bottom. This link
was<br>
sent via an announcement in Carmen by the office. I've modified the<br>
page slightly. The link at the bottom is for the practice exams for
MT 2.<br>
<br>
There are three practice exams there. Take them as the real thing
and give<br>
yourself 65 min to account for filling in bubbles on the iPad or
scantron<br>
(if taking a paper exam). Since you're old pros at using Examplify
on your<br>
iPad it's up to you whether to do them on the iPad or print out the
paper<br>
ones. Then grade yourself. If you guessed at any and got them
correct you<br>
actually missed them. Then look at the solution to every problem,
even the<br>
ones you got right. You need to make sure you got them right for
the right<br>
reason. Then look in the book and do more problems for those you
missed<br>
or had trouble solving but got right. You can also redo the MC
homework<br>
you've already done. You can do the DSM problems but they tend to
be a<br>
bit easier than the book problems.<br>
<br>
There's a link to a "study guide" for each practice exam. It's not
so much<br>
a study guide as it is a checklist to which questions you got right
or wrong.<br>
There are a couple of end-of-chapter problems listed for each one
but they<br>
don't always seem to coincide exactly with what sections the exam
questions<br>
cover. I'm looking through the study guides to see if any changes
should<br>
be made.<br>
<br>
I know I got a couple of questions last week about Hess's law and
how to<br>
use it to determine the del(H) of a reaction. Each of this past
week's quizzes<br>
had one but with only 2 reactions you had to manipulate. I would
suggest<br>
trying 5.65 and 5.66 which have 3 rxns and 5.110 which has 4 rxns.
I would<br>
think if you can do these you can do whatever you'll see.<br>
<br>
Someone also asked about bond enthalpy problems and if the molecules
would<br>
be "drawn" out. This is what I did on the quiz for the molecules
which weren't<br>
simply diatomic molecules with single bonds. It appears this is
what has been<br>
done on the practice exams.<br>
<br>
I'm updating my "Exams" link with more info this evening.<br>
<br>
See you tomorrow. Come with questions. E-mail questions by 10 AM<br>
tomorrow.<br>
