I got a question from someone about MC and whether there was any
homework due which<br>
was for credit. The following are open. Everything is set up so you
can always work on<br>
them, even if past their due dates, you simply won't get credit.<br>
<br>
There are two tutorials which are <b>NOT for credit</b> and just
for practice. The "Introduction <br>
to MasteringChemistry" and the "Chemistry Primer". The primer is a
review of several<br>
things from 1210. If you already have experience with
MasteringChemistry you can<br>
probably skip the "Introduction to MasteringChemistry".<br>
<br>
There's also something relatively new to MC, Dynamic Study Modules
(DSM). I'm not<br>
using these this semester for credit. However, they are always
available in Mastering even<br>
if I don't technically activate them. So just in case, you may want
to do these. There's an <br>
"Intro to DSM" module "due" by Wed., 6/5, at 11:59 PM. There's
another DSM<br>
dealing with key math skills (mainly dimensional analysis problems)
due by 11:59 PM<br>
on Wed, 6/5. Again, <b>neither of these are for credit</b>. These
modules are set up by MC<br>
such that as you work on questions and get them correct it has you
do fewer problems and<br>
if you struggle with them it will ask the questions again or give
others. After you've reached<br>
a certain percentage of correct answers you're finished. However,
the problems are not in<br>
any particular order so it makes it difficult to work section by
section from the book, as you<br>
should be. They might be useful when studying for the midterm or if
you're really struggling.<br>
<br>
Finally, there's a tutorial module for some concepts from chapter 11
for practice. This<br>
is for <font color="#ff0000"><b>credit</b></font>. It is open now
and has a due date of Thur., 6/6, 11:59 PM. I've set this <br>
due date because you need to review this material right away.<br>
<br>
I'll send some more info about MC in the next day or so. You need
to check it often to see <br>
what's there and when they're due. I would say to check every day
to see what's new. I won't<br>
usually announce when the problems have gone up or when they're
due. The best way to<br>
view things is in Calendar format. This makes it much easier to see
due dates.<br>
