Final Part 2 grades are available. The exam average was 78.0.
Final Part 1 is available now and must be completed by 11:59 pm Monday, May 10. It is set up similarly to Final part 2 and covers Units 1 and 2. Please contact me if you have questions about the exam itself or any chemistry questions about the material on the exam.
Some other announcements/frequently asked questions about the semester wrap up
“What happens next/when will I see grades/etc”
Tomorrow and Monday I will be grading materials for my CHEM 151 classes and this class, so quiz 6 grades will appear gradually then. I will post grades for your Final Part 1 (completed Monday) sometime on Tuesday.
After posting those grades, I will release the final grade to D2L and put the final course grade in the D2L gradebook as well. Before I do that, you should be able to calculate your course grade by putting in your final exam score and looking at the grading scale in the syllabus.
If you have questions for me, please contact me — please read below so you know what to expect
For the next few days as we wind up the semester, I’ll get a lot of email. And I’m totally good with that – I enjoy working with and hearing from each of you and assisting you as you learn! And I take questions about the course seriously. But as I have four sections of students and get a lot of email volume at the end of the semester I prioritize them as I can’t get back to everyone quickly and complete grading. So I will not answer emails in the order received, rather I will answer them in this order:
- Questions about chemistry course material that students need to understand concepts and prepare for finals come first. They will move to the front of the line immediately.
- Questions calling my attention to any errors I made in grading (or possible errors) come next.
- I won’t look at emails asking me to round up grades or if any other work can be done to improve your grade until I’ve answered all the emails above and completed all of my grading for all my courses. This allows me to get grades back to everyone as soon as possible! Also, in most cases, the answer will be no.
- I will ignore emails asking when items will be graded or final grades will be posted. The college deadline is Wed 5/12 by 8am but I hope to beat that. I know you want to know your grades, and I want to complete them too! Rest assured I’m doing it as quickly as I can, while taking breaks to answer student questions. Again, this allows me to get grades back to all of you as quickly as possible!
As always, contact me if you have questions about the class or have any last minute questions about the material before beginning the exam.
