Reminders for end of Unit 5 (including Unit 5 exam Monday)

Hi everyone!

Here are some reminders and updates for the next two days:

Reminders for items due Sunday 5/2

1. The Chapter 11 and 13 quiz is posted on D2L in assessments/assignments (not assessments quizzes).  This is the same location as all of the quizzes this semester.  It is due Sunday 5/2
2. MyLabsPlus on Ch 13 will be due Sunday 5/2.

The Unit 5 exam is Monday, May 3.  Reminders for the exam are:

1. Exam covers Chapters 11 (Liquids, Solids, and Intermolecular Forces), and 13 (Properties of Solutions)
2. You can take it on D2L at anytime between 8am and 11:59 pm on Monday May 2, 2021 – must be completed online by 11:59 pm on Monday, May 2, 2021.  Once you start you will only have 60 minutes (timer cannot be paused) so make sure you have an hour when you will not be interrupted.
3. It is located on D2L under the Assessments tab under Quizzes.  Click on assessments, then click on Quizzes from the pull down menu.
4. You are allowed 60 minutes and only 1 submission 
5. You are not allowed to open it multiple times, like the chapter quizzes.
6. Choose a time to take it when you will not be interrupted, as the clock begins ticking as soon as you open it.
7. Please keep track of the time counting down on your screen.  You will be flagged with 5 minutes left and the computer will not allow you save any more answers once the 60-minute timer runs out.
8. You are allowed to work backwards.  Some of you might consider starting with the 8-pt questions so that you have enough time and then finish with the multiple choice questions.  If you get stuck on a question, don’t waste too much time before moving on.  You can always come back to it.
9. For the 8 pt questions, you must submit to me your work detailed on a sheet of paper in order to receive full credit (You will type the final answer in the box of the exam to be graded, but I need to see the accompanying work so that I can reward appropriate points).  Please see the next section for Instructions for this.

Submitting work for the 8 point questions (Questions 16-20).  I do not need to see your work for the multiple choice questions (1-15)

1. The way you will submit the work for the 8 point questions is in a separate folder in the assignments tab (similar to the way you submitted the Chapter 1 and Chapter 2/3  quizzes).
2. The questions requiring submission of work are numbers 16-20 only.
3. You will type the final answer in the box of the exam to be graded, but I need to see the accompanying work so that I can reward appropriate points.  This submitted work is how I will do this.
4. To submit it, you can simply take a picture with your phone, as long as I am able to view your work clearly.
5. If possible, please use this procedure: How to Scan Documents with Apple and Android Mobile Devices for generating files to submit, rather than sending me a different file for every picture.  Once you learn it, it is less work for you and for me than uploading a separate file for each page of work!
6. Do NOT submit Word (.docx) files.
7. The submission to be uploaded immediately after submitting your exam into a drop box that you will find on D2L(Assessments tab, Assignments, Exam 5 Submissions).
8. You must upload your work to the 8-pt questions for credit.  Even if you have the correct answer, you will not receive full credit if I cannot follow your work (or you are missing units, sig figs, do not show the equation you are using).  Be thorough.
9. Submissions must be made to the Submissions folder.  Do not email your work to me.
10. Submissions must be made within 10 minutes of completing your exam.  Note that I am able to see what time you complete your exam and what time you upload your submission
11. Be sure that your answer on paper matches the answer that you type into the computer.  Be sure to include units and be conscious of sig figs.
