Hi online CHEM 151 students!
I’m sorry that LCC’s internet issues have affected access to your ability to access the course website. Reports I’m hearing is that is current still affecting some people, although I’m currently able to access it from off campus.
Yesterday, I sent out an email containing attachments or links (outside the course website) link to:
- the Online Course Schedule.
- Bruce’s notes on this past week’s topic (Gases) and next week’s topic (Thermochemistry)
- Quiz 6 (on gases – due Monday 2/19)
- Quiz 7 (on Thermichemistry – due Monday 2/26)
- other study resources
Hopefully those resources will help you keep pace if you are still unable to access the course website. Please keep me informed.
The online homework for all three Unit 2 topics is all due Monday 2/26 — that is still some time off so hopefully the internet issue will be resolved for everyone in plenty of time to complete that — please contact me if it becomes an issue.
The Unit 2 exam window is Feb 23-27. It will be given in the same way as the Unit 1 exam. More info is below.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need help with the course material.

Additional Study Resources
Don’t forget to look at the Unit 2 – additional study resources page on this Website (I also emailed the links yesterday due to the website connectivity issues).. 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.
