<p class="MsoNormal">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 some<br>
things from 1210 and some things from 1220 to see if you got any of this in high school.<br>
If you already have experience with MasteringChemistry you can probably skip the<br>
"Introduction to MasteringChemistry". These are "due" by 11:59 PM, Thur., Aug. 27.<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 Fri.,<br>
8/28, at 11:59 PM. There's another DSM dealing with key math skills (mainly dimensional<br>
analysis problems) due by 11:59 PM on Fri., 8/28. Again, <b><span style="color:red">neither of these are for credit</span></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
<b><span style="color:red">credit</span></b>. It is<br>
open now and has a due date of Sat., 8/29, 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>
