1220 textbooks

[Zellmer, Robert]

You should have received my "Welcome" message.

If you are on the wait list you are also receiving this message.
It doesn't mean you got in the class.

This is just a quick e-mail because I'm getting a few questions
about the class and books required.  Even if you have a textbook
you should take a quick look at info below.

This is what I know about the textbooks:

1)  If you've taken 1210 or 1220 w/in the last year you should be able
    get into Mastering via Carmen (MyLab and Mastering link - see below).

2) If you need a new book and Mastering access the following info is per the Pearson rep.:

A textbook is essential for success in this course. Your instructor will be teaching from Chemistry, The Central Science
(14th edition eText) by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Woodward, & Stoltzfus. This interactive eText is available at
the OSU Bookstore<http://ohiostate.bncollege.com/> for $140 (price may vary), and includes unlimited access for 48 months.

You can purchase a previous edition of the textbook.  However, you need to purchase access to
the MasteringChemistry on-line homework and the eText comes with that.  Do NOT purchase a
separate access code from other sources other than the bookstore or on Carmen.  Also, the official
textbook is the eText (this is identical to the printed textbooks and you can print a copy or buy a
loose-leaf version - see instructions on Carmen).

NOTE:  We suggest you purchase this through the Mastering link in Carmen.  The price is significantly
less. It also has an option to purchase the loose-leaf textbook for $44.95. I know a lot of people still like
using an actual textbook rather than having to read the eText.  If you buy the eText/MC and the
loose-leaf version through Carmen the total price is ~ $161.

You can get to MasteringChemistry by clicking on the "MyLab and Mastering" link in the menu in Carmen.

3) Lab materials
Lab    Manual:  Chemistry 1220 General Chemistry Laboratory Manual, Hayden-McNeil Publishing, Inc.
This is specific for each school year.  Cannot use one from the past.  It should have 2020-2021
on the cover.  Instructions for purchasing are in the Lab Syllabus which is on Carmen and my webpage.
Lab Notebook: You do not have to buy a lab notebook this semester.  You will be able to use your iPad
for the notebook or regular spiral notebook with lines or grids.  There are details about this in the syllabus.


4) We will be using MasteringChemistry for on-line homework.  Access can be obtained through your
purchase of the proper bundle.  Again, go through Carmen for this.

5) Do I suggest you buy the book on line or at the bookstore on campus?

    We suggest you purchase via Carmen.  It is the cheapest route.  If for some
     reason you can't do it this way you can purchase it from the bookstore.


6) Can you use earlier editions of the textbook for a hard copy?

    Yes, you could.  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 end-of-chapter homework exercises "assignments"
     (highly suggested problems from the textbook) for 11th-14th editions on my
    class web page.

    HOWEVER, you still have to purchase the proper access for Mastering using
    the instructions above.  The safest way is to just get access through Carmen.
    This will give you access to the MC on-line homework and the 14th edition eText.
    Purchasing an access code elsewhere could actually be more expensive then
    purchasing a new copy via Carmen.
