[CHM 111] Quiz Solutions, Upcoming Exam, and Class this Week

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Good morning everyone.  I know many of you are recovering from a long
Saturday (Family Weekend) followed by an exciting football game. Go Bears!

I got up early this morning and posted the solutions to quizzes 3, 4,
and 5 on the class website.  I then graded quiz 5.   The good news is
that several of you got a perfect score -- and one of your classmates
now has 5 perfect quiz scores!   The bad news is that the class average
on the last quiz was a 10 out of 20.

There is, in my opinion, no way that the majority of the class is ready
for an exam on this content.  I have a little bit of flexibility in the
schedule so I am going to move the exam to the *Wednesday AFTER fall
break (October 13th)*.  If you are not studying then now is the time to
start.  If you are lost -- start asking for help.  

While we will not take the exam this Wednesday we will have another
quiz.  It will not be identical to the content of the last quiz (which I
thought was a gift because over half of it was based on calculations you
should have already done for lab), but the quiz will be over material
from chapters 3 and 4.

While I can move back the test date, I MUST start moving forward with
content and lecture material to help prepare you for upcoming labs.  I
will start chapter 5 in class tomorrow.  I just uploaded the class
slides including the content from chapter 5 to the class website.
