I got a question from someone about MC and whether there was any
homework due which<br>
was for credit. The following are open. MC homework 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". These are
"due" by 11:59 PM,<br>
Fri., Aug. 23.<br>
<br>
There's also a couple called Dynamic Study Modules (DSM). I'm not
using these for<br>
credit. However, they are always available in Mastering even if I
don't technically activate<br>
them. So just in case I decide to activate these or you just want to
use them as a review at<br>
some point, you may want to do these. There's an "Intro to DSM"
module "due" by Sat.,<br>
8/24, at 11:59 PM. There's another DSM dealing with key math skills
(mainly dimensional<br>
analysis problems) due by 11:59 PM on Sat., 8/24. Again, <b>neither
of these are for credit</b>.<br>
These modules are set up by MC such that as you work on questions
and get them correct it<br>
has you do fewer problems and if you struggle with them it will ask
the questions again or<br>
give others. After you've reached a certain percentage of correct
answers you're finished.<br>
However, the problems are not in any particular order so it makes it
difficult to work section<br>
by section from the book, as you should be. They might be useful
when studying for the<br>
midterm or if you're really struggling.<br>
<br>
Finally, there's a tutorial module for some concepts from chapter
11. This is for <font color="#ff0000"><b>credit</b></font>. It is<br>
open now and has a due date of Sat., 8/24, 11:59 PM. I've set this
due date because you need<br>
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>
