The Unit 5 exam is Monday, Dec 7. Reminders for the exam are:
- Exam covers Chapters 11 (Intermolecular Forces, Liquids, and Solids) and 13 (Properties of Solutions)
- You can take it on D2L at anytime between 8am and 11:59 pm on Monday , Dec 7, 2020 – must be completed online by 11:59 pm on Monday, December 7, 2020. 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.
- You are allowed 60 minutes and only 1 submission
- You are not allowed to open it multiple times, like the chapter quizzes.
- Choose a time to take it when you will not be interrupted, as the clock begins ticking as soon as you open it.
- 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.
- 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
- There are 15 Multiple Choice Questions (4 pts each) and five 8-pt questions
- You will also be asked to submit your work for the 8 point questions in a separate folder in the assignments tab (similar to the way you submit quizzes).
- 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).
- You can simply take a picture with your phone, as long as I am able to view your work clearly.
- The picture needs to be uploaded immediately after submitting your exam into a drop box that you will find on D2L(Assessments tab, Assignments, Exam 5 Submissions).
- 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. I do not need to see your work for the multiple choice questions.
- Submissions must be made to the Submissions folder. Do not email your work to me.
- 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
- 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
- Exam practice resources include – paper practice exam (will give you a good idea of length and level of difficulty – the questions will not be the same ones as the exam questions) and practice quizzes (with answers) available in the unit 5 folder on D2L
- You will be able to use your own periodic table for the exam and obviously will have access to other supporting materials. Be careful, as that can become a “crutch.” I worry that you might end up spending too much time flipping through subsequent materials and whittle away the time on the clock if you are not well-prepared.
Reminders for items due Sunday 12/6
- The Chapter 11 and 13 quiz is posted on D2L like all the other quizzes this semester. It is due Sunday 12/6
- MyLabsPlus on acids and bases will be due Sunday 12/6.
After the exam, there is one assignment/exam left – the course final exam on Friday 12/11. It will be similar (in format and the way it is given) to the Unit exams. I will post more information about the final Exam by Monday.
The deadlines for Unit 5 are all listed on the Course Schedule
As always, contact me if you have questions about the class or have any last minute questions about the material before beginning the exam.
