I sent the following out last Thursday. This explained where to
find<br>
the answers to the Give it Some Thought Questions, Go Figure,<br>
Practice Exercises, etc. These are all at the back of the book,<br>
after the Appendices.<br>
<br>
I guess the problem some are having is finding them in the e-Text.<br>
Open the e-Text. Go to "Contents". Scroll to the bottom and you'll<br>
see "Backmatter". Click on the down arrow to the right. This opens<br>
up and you'll see links to the Appendices and the other things (all<br>
material at the end of the book).<br>
<br>
To make things a little easier, I would suggest you open the e-Text<br>
several times in new tabs or a new window. Then go to the GIST<br>
answers in one of the tabs. In another tab go to the Go Figure.<br>
Do the same for the other things you might need (Appendices,<br>
Answers to Selected Practice Exercises, etc.).<br>
<br>
I hope this helps with getting to these in the e-Text.<br>

<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-unicode"> <font size="2"><big>I'm
getting some questions about the homework, book
problems,<br>
studying and the quizzes.<br>
<br>
</big></font><font size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>Someone
asked if I would "recommend" you read the textbook.<br>
</big></font></big></font><font size="2"><big><font
size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>I would not say I
"recommend" it, I <b>implore </b>it. I can't
see how<br>
you can learn this material without doing so.
Also, I was asked<br>
if you should read it before or after the
homework. If you look<br>
at my "How to Study" link and if you came to one
of my<br>
sessions you will see how I recommend doing
things. Just<br>
real quickly though, I can't see how one can do
the homework<br>
w/o reading the material first and working the
sample exercises<br>
throughout the chapter. There's more below and
on my web<br>
page about this.<br>
<br>
The end-of-chapter (EOC) "homework" are
technically voluntary but<br>
you won't do well if you don't do them. </big></font></big></font>I
don't break them up according<br>
to each lecture. However, if you haven't noticed, they
are generally<br>
broken up by section in the book. Every now and then
one section<br>
of homework corresponds to more than one section in the
book.<br>
This mostly happens when there's a short section that
has only 2-4<br>
corresponding homework problems. You should do the
problems<br>
for each section before studying the next section, even
if sections<br>
have been combined in the homework problems at the end
of<br>
the chapter.<br>
<br>
Another thing to notice about the EOC problems is, most
of them<br>
come in pairs (the ones in the sections of problems
demarcated by<br>
the section numbers at the top of a section of
problems). Exercises<br>
13.15 and 13.16 are covering the same general ideas but
asked in a<br>
different way. That's what those little lines between
every two problems<br>
indicate in the paper editions. The eText doesn't have
these lines but<br>
the questions still come in pairs, just like the printed
edition. This means<br>
if I've assigned a particular problem and you just can't
figure out how to<br>
do it and wind up looking at the solutions for any help
you need to try the<br>
corresponding companion question right then. This will
help to reinforce<br>
what you just saw.<br>
<br>
</big></font> <font size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>You
should also be answering the "<b>Give It Some
Thought</b>" questions<br>
that appear in the sections as you are reading. I
suggest you write<br>
down your answers instead of just answering them in
your head.<br>
The answers to the GIST questions are in the back of
the book<br>
starting on page </big></font></big></font><font
size="2"><big><font size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>A-31
in the 14th ed. (</big></font><font size="2"><big><font
size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>A-31 in the
13th ed., </big></font>A-33 in<br>
the 12th ed. and </big></font>A-36 in the
11th ed.), after the answers to the<br>
selected EOC exercises (the ones marked in
red).</big></font></big></font><font size="2"><big><br>
</big></font> <br>
</big></font><font size="2"><big>The 12th, 13th & 14th
editions also have what are called "<b>Go Figure</b>"<br>
questions in the sections. They are similar to the GIST
questions but<br>
a little more involved. Their answers follow those for
the GIST<br>
questions (starting on page A-37 of the 14th ed., A-38
of the 13 ed.<br>
A-41 of the 12th ed.).<br>
<br>
</big></font><font size="2"><big> The order of these
sections (and page numbers) is reversed in the<br>
12th edition paperback OSU custom edition.<br>
<br>
I don't really expect anyone to be using these much
older editions<br>
of the book because then you might have problems lining
things<br>
up between the eText and the older edition. The info is
here just in<br>
case.<br>
<br>
We're still in 13.4 and will finish this and 13.1-13.3
on Thursday and<br>
probably be into 13.5. <br>
<br>
You should complete the material presented in one
lecture before<br>
the next and make sure you finish the whole week's
material (including<br>
Additional and Integrative Exercises) by Saturday or
early Sunday.<br>
If you don't do this each week you will always be
behind. By this<br>
weekend, you should be done with sections 13.1-13.4
(reading and<br>
analyzing the material in the sections and the homework
problems)<br>
and reviewing the sections from Chem 1210 I have listed
at the top of<br>
my "Notes" link on my class web page. If you don't walk
into lecture<br>
next Tuesday completely done with these sections you are
behind and<br>
that's probably the worse thing you can allow happen.
It's really difficult<br>
to catch up with this type of material if you fall too
far behind. Plus, some<br>
of you have recitation and quizzes on Monday. The quiz
is going to<br>
cover this material.<br>
</big></font><br>
<font size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>The quizzes will
generally cover the material from the previous week.<br>
The pre-quiz this week covers 1210 material. We
will grade it and the<br>
score will be entered in Carmen but the score will
not count toward<br>
your final grade. I will let you know on Thur. in
lecture what the quiz<br>
next week will cover. I will also e-mail out this
info after lecture and<br>
put it on my class web page. <br>
<br>
</big></font></big></font><font size="2"><big><font
size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>The day before your
quiz you should skim the material the quiz will<br>
cover and do a few additional end-of-chapter
problems for each section<br>
or use the MC on-line homework as your review.
For most of the<br>
material on the quiz this should not be the
first time you are doing the<br>
homework problems. You MUST study the material
and do problems<br>
<b>more than once </b>if you hope to learn it
well. I suggest you use the on-line<br>
MC homework as your review.<br>
</big></font></big></font></big></font><br>
<font size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>I will generally
cover 2-5 sections a lecture, depending on their<br>
length and complexity. You should try to skim ahead
before<br>
coming to lecture so you have some idea what we will
be<br>
discussing. You should try to start the sections
I've covered<br>
the day of lecture and pretty much finish them
before the next<br>
lecture. I generally go in the order of the
sections. Every now<br>
and then I will change things a little but I will
tell you when I've<br>
done this. Study one section at a time and do the
end-of-chapter<br>
exercises for a section before starting the next.
ALWAYS read<br>
and work ONE section at a time and finish it before
starting<br>
the next section. Keep current and don't fall
behind. That's one<br>
of the worse things you can do.<br>

You should do these after they open and before
your<br>
quiz, even though I will generally make the due
dates the Saturday after the<br>
Friday quizzes. They won't help much with your
understanding of the material<br>
if done after your quiz. Use these as a review
before the quiz. <br>
<br>
Mastering also has something called Dynamic
Study Modules. These are<br>
NOT for credit. I'm making them available for
practice. If you're<br>
really struggling you could try these or even
better yet, come for help.<br>
They have "due dates" but they're always
available. The questions<br>
tend to be easier than the ones in the book.
Some people use them<br>
as part of their review for exams.<br>
<br>
You'll also find problem sets label "Practice
Exercise 1". These are the<br>
practice exercise 1 problems which follow a
Sample Exercises in the<br>
chapter. The answers to these aren't in the
book. This provides the<br>
answers to these. They also have feedback for
these questions.<br>
These are NOT for credit.<br>

Don't leave questions for me or e-mail me using the

in Carmen. I don't look at it often, although I do have
it set up so it should<br>

There's lots of info on my site. Please look around to
see what's there<br>
and you may find the answers to many of your questions.
If not, that's<br>
fine, just come see me or send an e-mail.<br>
