1220 textbooks and allowed calculators

[robert zellmer]

I'm getting a number of questions about the class and books required.  I 
know
many of you took 1210 here this past year so you already have the textbook.

1) Someone asked about the ISBN numbers for the textbook, lab manual and lab
     notebook. You can find these things by going to the Barnes & Noble 
web site
     (for OSU),

http://ohiostate.bncollege.com

     Click on "Textbooks".
     Then click on "Select Term" (Summer).
     Then click on "Select Department" (CHEM)
     Then click on "Select Course" (1220)
     Then click on "Select Section"
     Then click on "Find Materials".

     You will see the required books. Remember, the bundle they sell 
(which they've
     marked "required") may actually be cheaper than the book itself. 
This is only sold at the
     OSU B&N.  Actually, you might check the other campus bookstores. 
They might
     also sell the bundle.

     Technically you only need the textbook (13th, 12th, 11th or 10th 
editions are fine), lab notebook and lab manual.

*Textbook:*_Chemistry, The Central Science (13__^th __ Ed)_, 
Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Woodward & Stoltzfus --/any 13 edition - 
used, soft-cover, OSU custom edition (soft cover), ebook will do.  You 
can use the 10th, 11th or 12th editions as well.  Bookstores and online 
sites may try to sell you more - you do NOT NEED anything else!  Be 
warned that things ordered online often do not ship as you might 
expect.  You do not need the whole shrink-wrapped OSU custom edition 
which comes with Mastering Chemistry on-line homework since we will not 
be using it.  We will not be using on-line homework.  However, the OSU 
custom edition which comes shrink-wrapped with MC and the Student Guide 
is sometimes cheaper than the other 13th edition bundles or even 
textbook alone due to a deal made between OSU and the publisher.  Of 
course, since we aren't using on-line homework a used edition will work 
and is cheaper./

/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). This is not needed but some students have 
told me they have found it to be useful./

     Chemistry "Custom"//*ISBN:* 9781323233252
                     OSU Custom 13th edition (book only) - if sold out 
at B&N, you can maybe still find
                     it at another campus bookstore or on line (Amazon 
has used ones).

You can find used editions of the textbook and Student Guide on Amazon.

•*Lab Manual*: _Chemistry 12__20 General Chemistry Laboratory Manual_, 
Hayden-McNeil Publishing, Inc.
/This is specific for each school year.  Cannot use one from the past.  
It should have 2015-2016  or
F15 on the cover. /*ISBN:* 9780738075419

•*Lab Notebook*: _100 Page Student Lab Workbook_, Hayden-McNeil 
Publishing, Inc. //*ISBN:*   2818440059247
/You can use your notebook from 1210./


2)    We won't be using on-line homework.  Thus, you don't really
         need the bundle which includes it.

3) Do I suggest you buy the book on line or at one of the bookstores on 
campus?

     I really can't answer this other than to say at this late date 
ordering it on line may
     result in not getting the book before we start.

4) Can you use the 10th, 11th or 12th editions of the textbook?

     Yes.  There aren't many differences between the editions and I will 
announce
     these in class and they will be on my web site for the class (at 
the "Notes" link).
     I also have homework assignments for all four editions on my class 
web page.

5) I'm retaking the class, can I use my old notebook?

     Yes.  However, you must come see Dr. Moga or me and bring your notebook
     before starting lab.

6) We are very particular on the calculators used during quizzes and exams.
     Go to the following link,

http://chemistry.osu.edu/~rzellmer/calc.htm

     Only two calculators are allowed, _TI-30XIIs or TI-30Xa_. No other 
calculators
     are permitted for use on quizzes or exams. /You MUST have _*ONE*_ 
of these two
     models. Both are available at the bookstore.  They are likely 
cheaper at
     off-campus locations (Target, Office Max, etc.)./

     A TI-35, TI-36, TI-81, TI-86, etc. is not allowed.

     We will not allow any other calculators, even if they are exactly 
like one of the listed ones.
     We won't even allow simple bank calculators, cell phone 
calculators, Google watch, etc.
     Please do NOT tell us that you were allowed to use some other 
calculator in another chem
     courses.  If you were, they were wrong to allow you to use it. It 
will NOT be allowed in
     this class.

     I suggest you use the calculator you will use on the quizzes and 
exams when you do  your
     homework.  That way you will know how to use it when you take a 
quiz or exam.
