<p><font face="serif">I have extended the deadline for the kinetics
homeworks. We will finish kinetics next week. The next exam is
set for the 18th and will ONLY COVER KINETICS. This is by
design -- there is so much new material that you are learning
and having to put it together with mathematical and physical
reasoning that I made this decision well before the semester
started.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">With that being said, please start working the
ALEKS problems and my additional problems and ask questions when
you have issues. If you are just opening ALEKS alongside
something like CHEGG, ChatGPT, or any of the numerous AI engines
then I can pretty much predict that you are going to fail my
remaining exams. You really need to be learning this stuff as
it is foundational knowledge that you need for other chemistry
and biochemistry classes. Definitely also use the FREE
resources Mercer is providing to you (SI, Academic Resource
Center Tutors, etc.)</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">See you in class tomorrow.</font></p>
