Final grades now available for CHM 101 and CHM 110

I have posted final grades for CHM 101 and all sections of  CHM 110.  You may get your grades from these places:

  1. [Desire2Learn].  You can see individual test grades and your numeric average on Desire2Learn (D2L), as well as your latter grade.  If you would like a copy of all of your grades from the course as well as your numeric average, print them from D2L now.  You will only have access to this semester’s grades on D2L for a week or so – whether or not you are attending classes in the spring.
  2. [WebAdvisor].  Webadvisor is your link to official FDTC data.  The grade on Webadvisor is your official grade, and will be the one recorded on your transcript.  WebAdvisor will only show your final letter grade, not your individual assignment grades or numeric average.

If you have any questions about your grade or if you wish to view your final (you don’t get to keep a copy of the final, sorry!), you may come by the office in January.  Please don’t call to ask about your grades, because I’m not allowed to discuss grades over the telephone!  You may e-mail me through Desire2Learn (using your official FDTC e-mail address)  to ask about your grades.  Keep in mind that faculty are on winter break starting December 18th, so you might not get an immediate response to e-mails during the break.  (I will be checking school e-mail periodically, but not as frequently as I would during the regular semester.)

A NOTE TO CHM 110 STUDENTS PLANNING TO TAKE CHM 111

If you’re a CHM 110 student who is planning on taking CHM 111 in the spring, don’t sell your textbook or lab manual!  We will be using the same materials for CHM 111 as we did for CHM 110.  The only thing you will need to buy new for CHM 111 is a new lab notebook (same type as you bought for CHM 110).

And now …

Enjoy your winter break!

All classes: Reminders for the rest of the week (12/4 – 12/6)

Here are some reminders for the rest of the week:

CHM 110 sections 01 and 02:  Lecture class will not meet on Wednesday morning, but section 02’s lab will meet at the usual time in the afternoon.  We will perform experiment 9B and your lab notebooks are due at the end of the lab period.

CHM 110 section 03:  Lecture class will not meet on Thursday morning, but lab will meet at the usual time.  We will perform experiment 9B and your lab notebooks are due at the end of the lab period.

An additional note for CHM 110 students in all sections:  Lab notebooks are due at the end of the this week’s laboratory period for your section whether you actually attend the last experiment or not.  If you won’t be able to attend the last lab experiment, then bring me the notebook early.  Late laboratory notebooks are treated like late laboratory reports, and the ten-point-deduction-per-day-late penalty stated in the syllabus applies.

CHM 101: lecture class will not meet on Wednesday morning.  We will meet on Friday morning for lab, where you’ll be taking the second lab test.  Board notes for the labs and a lab test 2 study guide were posted before the Thanksgiving break (look at older posts to find them)
