General Chemistry Lab Safety and Policies Quiz

[robert zellmer]

Do *NOT *attempt it right now. There was a mistake in #13 about the 
acceptable
file formats.  I contacted the person who wrote the program yesterday 
and they
stated they fixed it.  However, now it doesn't seem to work correctly at 
all.
Hopefully they will see the e-mail I sent this morning and fix it later 
today.
I will let you know when you can take the quiz.

There was also another problem in terms of whether you got 100%. There are
20 questions.  You have to get 20/20.  There was a bug in the feedback 
you see
after taking the quiz.  Lets say you got 19 correct.  It may have shown 
19/19
(it should have shown 19/20).  If you did NOT receive an e-mail stating 
you got
20/20 then you will need to retake the quiz.

If you took the quiz already and got 20/20 you won't have to retake it.  
Just
remember what the acceptable file types are (see #13 below).

There are a few other "problems" with this quiz. This is because they 
used some
questions and statements which strictly speaking apply to 1210/1220 but
do not apply directly to 1250 as written.  Here's some help for when it 
is okay to
once again take the quiz.

#9  This question deals with what you should do if you didn't get your 
notebook
         pages signed by your TA or turn them in before leaving lab. You 
have to then
         come see me, the lab supervisor, and I make a decision on 
whether they will be
          accepted and if so what point penalty will be given.  I'm the 
lab supervisor for
         1250, not Dr. Moga.  She's the supervisor for all other labs 
except 1250.  I'm
         pretty much it for 1250, lecturer and lab supervisor. However, 
for this question,
         there is only one answer which involves speaking to a lab 
supervisor so that is
         the correct choice.

#10   You are *required* to have the *most recent *version of the lab 
manual, so there's
         no problem with this question.  However, if you took 1250 in 
Autumn 2017 and
         purchased the most recent version then and are retaking the 
course you don't have
         to buy a new manual for this semester.  However, you must come 
see me with the
         manual and your notebook before your first lab.

#13  Carmen will accept .doc, .docx and .pdf files.  However, Carmen 
seems to have
         some problems with .doc file.  The question supposedly was 
changed so that will
         now not be an acceptable format (answer) for this question. 
However, as pointed out
         at the top of the e-mail that change didn't seem to be done 
correctly.

         We only accept .docx or .pdf files. You must use .docx or .pdf 
files for your report submissions.
         If you turn in any other format it will not be accepted. When 
your TA starts grading
         the reports and they see this you will be informed to resubmit 
a file in the proper format
         and late points could accrue if it's beyond the due date at 
that point, including a zero for
         the report if it's more than 7 days late.  Ultimately, it is 
your responsibility to make sure
         you submit the correct report using the correct file name and 
make sure it isn't corrupted
         (i.e. it is readable).

#17   Doesn't really apply to 1250.  We don't have the same type of 
post-labs that
         they do in 1210/1220.   So for this question just answer it 
"You are given two attempts.
         You should use the second attempt to correct the error. More 
attempts will not be granted."

         In 1250 we have some post-lab quizzes on Carmen.  You get only 
1 attempt.

#19   For 1210 and 1220 the lab supervisors put announcements concerning 
lab on Carmen
         rather than sending an e-mail.  I send an e-mail to the whole 
class, as I have been with
         other things, to make sure everyone gets them and "sees" them, 
or at least knows they
         got a message about lab.

#20   In 1250 we don't do "make-up" labs.  If you miss a lab you need to 
e-mail your TA.
         The will then consult with me about what to do.  However, for 
this question answer it
         with "Complete the “request for Make-up Lab” form on Carmen"

I apologize for any confusion.
