Just a reminder … Tutoring is available in the Success Center for students in CHM 110.  Since summer semesters are shorter than normal, it’s vitally important to stay caught up in CHM 110 – you can’t afford to get confused and fall behind!

   June 2nd, 2014 at 5:20 pm   editHey students! My hours on Tuesday the 3rd will begin at 3:30 pm. Sorry for the change this week. For help with mass/mole calculations you can see Tony, Chris, or Matthew. On Thursday, hours will be 12:30 pm – 5 pm.

Best of all, tutoring in the Success Center is FREE!

I’m in the process of updating the CHM 110 practice sets.  New sets have been added for Chapters 4, 5, and 6.  To access practice sets for these and other chapters, click the link below:

From Karen Herbert, CHM 110 and CHM 111 tutor:

Summer hours for chemistry tutoring: Tuesdays and Thursday 12:30 pm – 5:00 pm. Please stop by for review or help with lab reports.

Tutoring is available in the Success Center.

I have posted final grades for CHM 110 and CHM 111.  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.  Grades are available on D2L now. If you would like a copy of all of your lecture and lab grades from the course as well as your numeric average, print from D2L now.  You will only have access to this semester’s grades on D2L for one more week – whether or not you are attending classes next term.
   
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.  Grades are available on WebAdvisor now.

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 next week.  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 using your FDTC e-mail address to ask about your grades.

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 the next time it’s offered, 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 additional thing you need to buy new for CHM 111 is a new lab notebook (same type as you bought for CHM 110).

FALL AND SUMMER COLLEGE CHEMISTRY OPTIONS AT TECH

CHM 110: In the fall, we offer several sections of CHM 110 during our daytime 15 week session.  In the summer, we offer CHM 110 in both a five-week and a ten-week session.

CHM 111:  We’re not currently offering CHM 111 in the fall semester.  It will be offered in the spring term during the regular daytime 15 week session.  It will also be offered in a five week session this summer.  If you’re interested in a CHM 111 course for fall semester, please e-mail me.  If there it enough interest, I may be able to persuade the higher-ups to open up a fall section.

Now, it’s time to …

… enjoy the summer!

Given the conditions around Florence and Darlington, this is not at all surprising:

***FDTC will be closed for all Faculty, Staff, and Students on Thursday, Feb. 13th.***

Impacts on this week’s chemistry classes:

CHM 110 01 and 02 (Tuesday/Thursday lecture):Test 1 for CHM 110 01 and 02 will be next Thursday.  Sections 1 and 2 will be doing experiment 1A during their next lab period.

CHM 110 03 (Monday/Wednesday lecture):

Test 1 for CHM 110 03 will be on Monday morning during the lecture period.  Section 3 lab will not meet Monday afternoon.

CHM 111:

Test 1 for CHM 111 will be on Tuesday.  The next lab will be Experiment 10A.  The IR report (one per group) is due at the beginning of the next lab period.

I will post updated lab schedules for all affected classes when I’m back in the office.  If you have any questions, send me an email or leave a comment here.

Watch out for icy roads!
