MasteringChemistry questions

[robert zellmer]

I got a question from someone about MC and whether there was any 
homework due which
was for credit. The following are open.  MC homework is set up so you 
can always work on
them, even if past their due dates, you simply won't get credit.

There are two tutorials which are *NOT for credit* and just for 
practice.  The "Introduction
to MasteringChemistry" and the "Chemistry Primer".  The primer is a 
review of several
things from 1210.  If you already have experience with 
MasteringChemistry you can
probably skip the "Introduction to MasteringChemistry".  These are "due" 
by 11:59 PM,
Fri., Aug. 23.

There's also a couple called Dynamic Study Modules (DSM).  I'm not using 
these for
credit. However, they are always available in Mastering even if I don't 
technically activate
them. So just in case I decide to activate these or you just want to use 
them as a review at
some point, you may want to do these.  There's an "Intro to DSM" module 
"due" by Sat.,
8/24, at 11:59 PM.  There's another DSM dealing with key math skills 
(mainly dimensional
analysis problems) due by 11:59 PM on Sat., 8/24.  Again, *neither of 
these are for credit*.
These modules are set up by MC such that as you work on questions and 
get them correct it
has you do fewer problems and if you struggle with them it will ask the 
questions again or
give others.  After you've reached a certain percentage of correct 
answers you're finished.
However, the problems are not in any particular order so it makes it 
difficult to work section
by section from the book, as you should be.  They might be useful when 
studying for the
midterm or if you're really struggling.

Finally, there's a tutorial module for some concepts from chapter 11. 
This is for *credit*.  It is
open now and has a due date of Sat., 8/24, 11:59 PM.  I've set this due 
date because you need
to review this material right away.

I'll send some more info about MC in the next day or so.   You need to 
check it often to see
what's there and when they're due.  I would say to check every day to 
see what's new.  I won't
usually announce when the problems have gone up or when they're due.  
The best way to
view things is in Calendar format.  This makes it much easier to see due 
dates.
