Problem-Solving Sessions
I have set aside an hour each week (Thursdays at
4:00) for a Problem-Solving Session.
Location: CB 385
The Problem-Solving Sessions are optional. I intend
to bring in a few sample problems that can be solved
by students working in small groups. Problems and
questions posed by students will also be addressed.
The first session will occur on Thursday, January 12.
If You Are Taking Chemistry 354
(Organic Chemistry Laboratory I)




All sections of Chemistry 354 will meet this
week.
If you do not attend the first class meeting,
your place will be given away to a person
who is on the waiting list.
If you are on the waiting list, you must come
to class in order to claim a place in the class.
You must take and pass the mandatory
organic chemistry laboratory safety quiz.
Resubmitting an Examination
As a special policy, I will not post answer keys
immediately after each examination. Instead, I will
allow each student an opportunity to correct his or
her examination based on a review of lecture notes
and the textbook
Students may earn up to 20% of the “missing” points
by correcting their examinations and resubmitting
them. Once the deadline has passed, I will post the
answer key for everyone to use.
