Hello.  I am Dr. Zellmer.  I am teaching Chem 1220 Spring Semester.
I apologize if you are getting this and you are not signed up for Chem 1220.
I got the current roster with your e-mails from SIS (Buckeye Link).


The class link (which can be found at my homepage) is,


      _*Chemistry 1220 - Sp14*_
      <http://chemistry.osu.edu/%7Erzellmer/chem1220/chem1220.htm>

There you will find a "little" note to let you know a few things about 
1220.
Read the WHOLE message at the link listed below and any to follow:

http://www.chemistry.osu.edu/~rzellmer/chem1220/chem1220_intro.txt

This will make things easier for you when we start on Mon, 1/6/14.
If you notice a mistake or something that looks "strange" (reference to
quarters, incorrect dates, etc.) let me know.

You can find further details at the link above.

Then go to the "Notes" link.  There you will find a copy of the notes
(overheads) I will be using in lecture.  I highly suggest you print them
and bring them with you (print them with two pages to a single physical
page to save paper).  We start with chapter 11.  Just print that one for
now since I may be making some minor changes to a couple of the later
chapters.  You will also see what sections from 1210 you should review.
Do that now before we start rather than starting chapter 11.

I won't lie to you.   This class will be tough.  This class is going to move
pretty quickly and the material is generally more difficult than the 
material
you covered in Chem 1210.  You saw most of the 1210 material in high
school.  Most of you will not have seen the material in 1220 in high school,
especially at the level at which we cover it.  Plan on spending at least 15
hours a week outside of class just on lecture material and homework and
another 3 or so on lab work (preparation, reports, etc.)

This will be my third time teaching Chem 1220.  However, I've been teaching
most of this material for more than 20 years.

Everyone will be doing exp 14 during the first lab session starting this 
week.
You should read it and write the procedure in your lab notebook.
You can find guidelines of what should be in the notebook in the syllabus
on page 7 and my web page.  The first link is the Chem departments web site
with extensive instructions concerning the notebook and the second link 
is my
suggestions for how to break down the procedure into an easy outline to
follow in lab (based on exp 14)

You should bring your goggles from 1210, if you still have them. If not you
can borrow a pair or will be given pair in lab (if you didn't take chemistry
here) so don't worry about that.  Make sure you aren't wearing sandals, 
shorts
or short skirts.  Besides, if you are with how cold it is we have bigger 
problems.

If you are on the wait list you can not go to lab but come to lecture.

Okay, that's it for this e-mail.  Many more will follow later and 
throughout the semester.
I will work very hard for you and I expect the same from you.

Dr. Zellmer
