This message was sent out earlier in the semester. I'm sending it
again since<br>
during my meetings with students about studying and office hours I'm
finding<br>
many people still don't know the answers to the GIST and Go Figure
questions<br>
in the chapters had answers in the back of the book.<br>

<font size="2"><big>I don't break the homework problems up
according to each lecture.<br>
However, if you've noticed, they are generally broken up by<br>
section in the book. Every now and then one section of
homework<br>
corresponds to more than one section in the book. This mostly<br>
happens when there's a short section that has only a 2-4<br>
corresponding homework problems.<br>
<br>
Another thing to notice about the homework problems is they<br>
come in pairs. Exercises 1.11 and 1.12 are covering the same<br>
general ideas but asked in a different way. That's what those<br>
little lines between every two problems are for (the 10th ed.<br>
doesn't have the lines). That means if I've assigned a
particular<br>
problem and you just can't figure out how to do it and wind up<br>
looking at the solutions you need to try the corresponding<br>
companion question right then. This will help to reinforce
what<br>
you just saw.<br>
<br>
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 A-31 (</big></font><font size="2"><big><font
size="2"><big>A-33 in the 12th ed., </big></font>A-36 in
the 11th ed.<br>
and A-35 in the 10th ed.), after the answers to the selected
exercises.<br>
<br>
The 12th and 13th 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-38 of the 13 ed.).<br>
<br>
The order of the answers to these sections (and page numbers)
is<br>
reversed in the 12th edition paperback OSU chem custom
edition.<br>
<br>
We have finished sections 13.4 and 13.2. We will be doing
sections<br>
13.1 and 13.2 and then 13.5 the week after Spring break.<br>
<br>
You should complete the material presented in one lecture
before<br>
the next and make sure you finish the whole weeks material
(including<br>
Additional Exercises) by Saturday or early Sunday. If you
don't do this<br>
each week you will always be behind. The Integrative
Exercises at the<br>
very end of the homework section can be left until you've
finished the<br>
chapter.<br>
<br>
You should pretend you have a quiz each week, say Wed. or
Thur.<br>
It would cover the material from the previous week. The day
before<br>
this "quiz" you should skim the material which would be on the<br>
"quiz" (the previous week's material) and do a few additional<br>
end-of-chapter problems for each section. You MUST study the<br>
material and do problems <b>more than once </b>if you hope
to learn it well.<br>
<br>
I will generally cover 3-6 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>
<br>
You can find the assigned "homework" problems on the class web<br>
page (not Carmen). I've posted the publisher's solutions to
ALL<br>
end-of-chapter problems on Carmen for the 10th, 11th, 12th and<br>
13th editions. Go to the "Content" tab. for these.<br>
I have my own solutions for chapters 10-15 for the 10th and<br>
11th editions on my class web page (not Carmen). I don't<br>
have my own solutions for the 12th or 13th edition.<br>
<br>
The Discussion tab on Carmen is active. You can use it<br>
to ask each other questions. Don't leave questions for me<br>
on the "Discussion" tab in Carmen. I don't look at it often.<br>
You will get a better response by e-mailing me. You will<br>
also find corrections to the book or homework solns<br>
there.<br>
<br>
There's lots of info on my site. Please look around to see<br>
what's there and you may find the answers to many of your<br>
questions. If not, that's fine, just come see me or send<br>
an e-mail.<br>
