Hi online CHEM 151 students! Unit 1 is complete and hopefully you have gotten a good start on Unit 2. The following is a list of updates and reminders for the coming week.
Unit 1 Exam returned
Your graded unit 1 exams have all been returned to you via email (to both D2L email and LCC Student email) as pdf attachments. The exam average was 62.7. Please take a look at the exam and check the grading and total score. I would be happy to talk to any of you via email, phone or WebEx about any specific exam questions or general concerns/questions after taking the exam – please contact me should you wish and I’m glad to try to help!
Quiz/Class Participation 4
After grading and returning Unit 1 exams for this class and my in-person class, I’m currently grading Quiz/participation 4 and returning them as I grade them. If you haven’t received it yet, look for it soon via email.
Unit 2
The next unit is Unit 2 and it will move more into the study of chemistry, as opposed to the calculational tools emphasized in Unit 1 (especially in the Matter and measurement section). An overview of Unit 2 is provided at this link: Unit 2. On average, most students consider Unit 2 to be the most challenging unit in the class. Therefore, if Unit 1 was relatively easy for you, keep up the good work for Unit 2 (you will likely fing it to be more challenging). If you found Unit 1 to be difficult, please follow up with me or the Learning Commons tutors — Unit 2 builds on Unit 1 and if you get behind it can be difficult to catch up.
The organization of Unit 2 is similar to Unit 1 – the assignments and deadlines for Unit 2 can be seen on the Online Course Schedule – the next deadline (and the first for this Unit) is Feb 12.
Quiz/Class Participation 5
Quiz/Class Participation Assignment 5 is available and due Monday, Feb 12.
