Out sick today (01/09/2018)

I’m out sick today.  If you’re in my CHM 111-01 class or my CHM 110-03 class, check your FDTC student e-mail account for a message.

If you have any questions, you may send me an e-mail at charles.taylor@fdtc.edu or leave a comment here.

Weather Delay for FDTC, Monday 1/8/18

From the official FDTC web page:

Alert: All 8 AM and 9:30 AM classes are cancelled Monday, January 8, 2018 for all Florence-Darlington Technical College campuses. Students report to all other classes at the normal scheduled time. Faculty and staff should report at 10 AM.

This affects one of the Monday morning CHM classes: CHM 110 section 1. Section 1 has two lecture meetings per week like most of the CHM 110 courses, but for this section both lecture meetings are on Monday – one at 9:30 AM and one at 11:00 AM. For Monday 1/8/18, the 9:30 AM lecture is cancelled, but the 11:00 AM lecture will meet as scheduled. If you’re in CHM 110 section 1, plan to be in class at 11:00 AM.

Other sections of CHM 110 that have Monday meetings (section 2 lecture in the afternoon, and section 3 lab at 11:00 AM) will meet as scheduled.

Test 4 Available

Graded copies of CHM 110 Test 4 for sections 1 and 2 and for CHM 111 are now available on my office door (5416-G).  You may pick up your test anytime the school is open; you don’t have to come during my office hour as I don’t need to be in the office for you to get your test. The tests will be available on the door until your class has its final exam.

Grades for this test have been posted in D2L.  No grades have been “dropped” at this point (attendance, lab, or test) in the gradebook.  The drops described in the syllabus will happen after I’ve entered the last grade for each grade category … which means it’ll happen when I’ve entered your final exam grade.  What that means is that your actual grade at the moment may be a little higher than what D2L currently shows, as long as you haven’t missed a lab experiment and a test.

For CHM 110 section 3, your graded tests will be available on Monday.  I will update this post and send emails to your official FDTC e-mail accounts when the tests are available.
