Hi online CHEM 151 students! I hope your semester is off to a good start and you are settling into the routine of the class! Here are some announcements for the coming week:
Quizzes being returned:
I’ve returned your Quiz/class participation 1 surveys to you by email. Thanks for sending them in by pdf. If you turned it in, you got full credit 10/10 in the D2L gradebook. Hopefully I answered your questions that you submitted on the returned surveys, if I did not answer your questions or you have additional ones please contact me. I’m currently working through Quiz/class participation 2 and will return those to you by email as I finish them. I had a lot of introductory surveys this semester (which take more time to go through than most of your assignments will this semester) teaching 5 classes so I appreciate your patience.
Due this week:

I’ve been pleased to see that several of you have been able to access the online homework and begin work. Remember the first three assignments are due Monday 1/29

Additional Study Resources
Don’t forget to look at the Unit 1 – additional study resourcespage on this Website. It contains many resources to help you prepare for the exam. Please take a look at them. One of those resources is a practice exam. Please read more about the practice exam below:
Practice Exam
What the practice exam is:
This practice exam will be similar in length, number of questions, types of questions (multiple choice, short answer, numerical problems, etc) to your exam. The practice exam will be useful as a general review and will help you see how prepared you are. If the practice exam (without looking at your notes) is easy for you, the actual exam probably will be. If it is difficult, the actual exam probably will be.
What the practice exam is NOT:
The actual exam will NOT be the same as the practice exam with only a few numbers changed. Do NOT think that if you only study and memorize the questions on the practice exam that you will be ready for the exam because the questions will be the same.
Please let me know if you have questions and have a great week!
