Ch 16 and some ch 17 (17.1-17.3) material is up in MC.<br>
<br>
I know you've all been busy trying to catch up and study for the
exam. You can't<br>
fall to far behind. Based on this and the fact our next quiz is
next Tuesday the<br>
due dates for things are a little different.<br>
<br>
<font color="#ff0000">NOT </font>for Credit:<br>
<br>
Ch 16 - Practice Exercise 1<br>
Ch 17 ( 17.1-17.2) - Practice Exercise 1A<br>
Ch 17 (17.3-17.6) - Practice Exercise 1B<br>
<br>
DSM - Advanced Acids and Bases<br>
DSM - Acid and Base Equilibria<br>
DSM - Buffers<br>
DSM - Acid - Base titrations<br>
<br>
While the above have "due dates", since they're not for credit these
dates<br>
don't make a difference.<br>
<br>
<u><b><font color="#0000ff">FOR Credit:</font></b></u><br>
<br>
<b>The due date</b><b>s are </b><b>a little different than normal.
</b>I've tried to spread them<br>
out over several days from this Friday to the following Monday
before the<br>
Tuesday, July 2, quiz. It looks like a lot but some are short.
Here they are<br>
with the due dates.<br>

the quiz but everyone needs to get caught up after the exam.<br>
<br>
The next ones for 17.3 are not going to be on the next quiz (next<br>
Tues) but will be on the following one. They're already up though.<br>
<br>
Ch17b (17.3) Tutorials - 11:59 PM, Sunday, 7/7<br>
<br>
Ch17b (17.3) Homework Review - 11:59 PM, Tuesday, 7/9<br>
<br>
<br>
I've heard the following about the homework, "are there hints?",<br>
"I like the ones with the feedback", "should I be doing any
problems other<br>
than the ones on MC?", etc.<br>
<br>
It appears they have hints for some things but not others. It seems
they<br>
don't have them for most of the homework problems, the DSM sets or<br>
the Practice Exercises. <br>
<br>
There are hints for the tutorials.<br>
<br>
The Practice Exercises, DSM and tutorials have feedback. Some of
the<br>
homework review problems have feedback and some don't. I would like<br>
it if every problem had feedback but they don't. The ones that give
feedback<br>
when you're done with the problem show the pages in the book to
refer to.<br>
<br>
You really should be doing end-of-chapter problems from the
textbook.<br>
The homework problems from the book have hints and feedback. When
you<br>
do the book problems every single one has hints and feedback.
That's the<br>
solutions manual. You try a homework problem. Don't give up too
quickly<br>
and don't sit there for too long just wondering how to start or if
you're doing<br>
it correctly. After 1-2 minutes take a peak at the solutions
manual. Most of<br>
the problems have Analyze and Plan (just like the Sample Exercises
w/in the<br>
sections). Take a look at that part to see if you're doing the
problem correctly<br>
or how to get started. Then if you get stuck again take another
look. However,<br>
when you do get help you need to do another problem right away to
reinforce<br>
what you just say (kind of the idea behind the DSM problems). The
problems<br>
have "feedback". The solutions are pretty detailed with
explanations. Then<br>
use the homework on MC that pertains to the quiz for your review, at
least the<br>
tutorials and even the ones which aren't due until after the quiz
(usually the<br>
Homework Review ones).<br>
<br>
I agree it would be very nice if all the on-line problems had
feedback but I have<br>
no control over that. If you get stuck or don't understand an
on-line problem<br>
please feel free to ask.<br>
<br>
Some of the on-line homework problems are from the book or are
similar<br>
(maybe different compounds or numbers). This doesn't mean to simply
look<br>
at the solutions manual or get answers from somewhere else. This
won't do<br>
you any good. You will not have learned the material and that will
show<br>
on the quizzes and exams.<br>
