You should have received my "Welcome" message.<br>
<br>
If you are on the wait list you are also receiving this message.<br>
It doesn't mean you got in the class.<br>
<br>
This is just a quick e-mail because I'm getting a number of<br>
questions about the class and books required. There's a <br>
syllabus on MY class web page (see below). <br>
<br>
My home page is,<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.chemistry.osu.edu/%7Erzellmer/">http://www.chemistry.osu.edu/~rzellmer/</a><br>
<br>
There you will find a link to our class page (which has most<br>
of what will be there at this point). You will find<br>
other things as well. More will come later.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, this is what I know about the textbooks:<br>
<br>
1) Someone asked about the ISBN numbers for the textbook, lab manual
and lab<br>
notebook. You can find these things by going to the Barnes
& Noble web site<br>
(for OSU - ISBN numbers may be specific to this site,
particularly for the textbook),<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://ohiostate.bncollege.com">http://ohiostate.bncollege.com</a><br>
<br>
Click on "Textbooks".<br>
Then click on "Select Term" (Fall).<br>
Then click on "Select Department" (CHEM)<br>
Then click on "Select Course" (1250)<br>
Then click on "Select Section" (5749)<br>
Then click on "Find Materials".<br>
<br>
You will see the recommended books. The official textbook listed
(which they've<br>
marked "required") is the 14th ed. eText. This is the latest
ed. This is listed as<br>
"Mastering Chemistry Access w/eText". They've also listed two
versions of<br>
the 14th ed. as recommended. You do not need all of these
things. See the<br>
paragraph below marked <font color="#ff0000">IMPORTANT</font>
if you want to save.<br>
<br>
Technically you only need the <b>textbook </b>(14th, 13th,
12th or 11th editions are fine),<br>
<b> </b><b>lab notebook </b>and <b>lab manual</b>. <br>

You may want to check into the Student Guide for the edition
you get. It offers extra explanations and examples for each
section in the textbook. It also as extra problems at the end
of each of its chapters (although they appear to be a little
easier than the End-of-Chapter problems in the textbook).

</span>2) We will NOT be using on-line homework. Thus, you don't
need any package which comes<br>
with a code for on-line homework (such as Mastering
Chemistry or Sapling Learning). Technically,<br>
when you buy Mastering w. eText via Carmen or B&N you
get the eText and the Mastering<br>
Chemistry on-line homework system. I don't plan on setting
this up since not everyone will have MC.<br>
<br>
However, I'm making SL available for your use as a tutoring
system. It's only $42. This is $3 per<br>
week. Cheaper than a tutor if you're having trouble
understanding things and need more help. More<br>
on that in a subsequent e-mail.<br>
<br>
3) Do I suggest you buy the book on line or at one of the bookstores
on campus?<br>
<br>
I really can't answer this other than to say at this late date
ordering it on line may<br>
result in not getting the book before the semester starts. <br>
<br>
A) Barnes & Noble's corporate web site has several
options. Just do NOT buy a used manual or notebook. <br>
<br>
B) Amazon has 11th, 12tt, 13th and 14th editions both new
and used, hardcover, paperback, e-text.<br>
<br>
C) There is only one bookstore on campus, B&N. Go to
the following link on my homepage<br>
for bookstore info,<br>
<br>
<a
href="http://chemistry.osu.edu/%7Erzellmer/bookstores.htm"><b>Bookstore
Locations and Phone Numbers</b></a> <br>
<br>
4) Can you use the 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th editions of the
textbook?<br>
<br>
Yes. There aren't many differences between the editions and I
will announce<br>
these in class and they will be on my web site for the class
(at the "Notes" link).<br>
I have homework assignments for all four editions on my class
web page.<br>
The publisher's solutions manual for all these editions, with
worked out solutions<br>
for all end-of-chapter homework exercises can be found on the
Carmen class web page.<br>
<br>
5) I'm retaking the course from Au17 or Sp18, can I use my old
eText?<br>
<br>
Yes. You can go to the MyLab/Mastering link in the menu bar
in our Carmen course.<br>
Supposedly this should let you in to Mastering and give you
access to the eText as<br>
<br>
5) We are also quite particular on the calculators used during
quizzes and exams.<br>
Go to the following link,<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://chemistry.osu.edu/%7Erzellmer/calc.htm">http://chemistry.osu.edu/~rzellmer/calc.htm</a>
<br>
<span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><br>
Only two calculators are allowed, <u>TI-30XIIs or TI-30Xa</u>.
<u><b>No</b></u> <b>other </b>calculators<br>
are permitted for use on quizzes or exams. <i>You MUST have
<u><b>ONE</b></u> of these two<br>
models. Both are available at the bookstore. They are
likely cheaper at<br>
off-campus locations (Target, Office Max, etc.).</i></span><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">
</span><br>
<br>
A TI-35, TI-36, TI-81, TI-86, etc. is not allowed. <br>
<br>
We will NOT allow any other calculators, even if they are
exactly like one of the listed ones.<br>
We won't even allow simple bank calculators, cell phone
calculators, Google watch, etc.<br>
Please do NOT tell us that you were allowed to use some other
calculator in another chem<br>
course. If you were, they were wrong to allow you to use it.
It will NOT be allowed in<br>
this class.<br>
<br>
I suggest you use the calculator you will use on the quizzes
and exams when you do your<br>
homework. That way you will know how to use it when you take
a quiz or exam.<br>
