This Coming Week in Lab
Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder you will have lab this coming week on either Monday or Tuesday during your scheduled time. Please bring a labtop with you and your lab manual. You will be going over the syllabus, making sure you are logged into OWL Lecture and Lab, TAs will assist you in getting into Achieve, you will be taking your lab safety quiz, and you will fill out the EH&S form.
Please make sure you arrive on time and if you have questions this is the time to ask in a smaller setting then the large lecture.
Best,
Theresa
Lecture 2 Recording Posted and a Reminder of OWL Assignments you can Start On
Hi Everyone,
Lecture 2 has now been posted in Module 1.1: January 18 – January 20 > Under Lecture Recordings > Carlson-Lecture 02
In regards, to OWL assignments, you can start now the following assignments:
Please note: The OWL program does not allow me to use the :59 so I am giving you one extra minute; otherwise my other option was :55 and you lose 4 minutes. So just remind yourself it’s due on Thursday before the exam at 11:59 pm so you don’t confuse yourself.

Optional:
OWL General Chemistry Review (Chapters 1 & 2) [Optional]-2
◆Chapter Assessments (OWL Lecture) are hard deadlines and extensions will not be granted. You will have two attempts at the chapter assessment. The Chapter Assessments questions are to assess your learning of that Chapter and to help prepare you for the exam. Do not wait until the last minute to complete the prep.
◆Chapter Problem Set (OWL) policies:
-
- There will be a chapter problem set from each of the 11 chapters covered in the text. Work on the problems several days before it’s due so you have time to go to the help room/discussion board and ask for more help. Never wait until the last day to work on the problem set; otherwise you will be rushing through the assignment and instead of learning how to break down problems and theories to better equip you for the exams.
- Full points can be obtained for each chapter’s problem set by scoring above 85% on the problems for that chapter.
- A score 74% = (74% ÷ 85%)×10 = 8.7 points
- It is in your best interest to complete all the problem sets to ensure that you are fully prepared for the exams.
- The adjusted points will be calculated throughout the semester. Please watch your email for important announcements regarding the uploads. Errors occur due to incorrect RedID, multiple OWL accounts, and/or your work is in the wrong section.
