First: If you haven't done so yet, create your ChemWeb account.  ChemWeb will be your gradebook for this class.  All your work that is graded will be submitted in ChemWeb.  Also, ChemWeb has your assignment due dates and the book .pdfs.   You will create your own login in ChemWeb.  Also, be sure to use a good email address, that you use often, to create your ChemWeb account so you will get all the class emails.  

Starting Class: This class consists of chapter book work (Chem 1130 lecture) and labs (Chem 1135).  For each assigned chapter (listed below), you will read the chapter, complete the tutor materials for that chapter and take a quiz.  Then you will complete a lab experiment (see the lab page).  There are due approximately each week.  After 3 segments of chapters there will be an exam.  Detailed explanation is below under the first assigned chapter(s).

We have recently received permission to provide the book and lab manual as a part of our online classes without charge to students.  To access the textbook, you will login to your ChemWeb account and click on the chapter quizes.  The .pdf file is at the top of the quiz.  Do the same for the lab you are working on. (you can access the quiz/lab and then close it and go back in at a later time to complete them.)

Where to find stuff:

1. Free Textbook e-book files: In your ChemWeb account, open the quiz for the chapter you are working on and at the top of the quiz is a link to the chapter(s) in .pdf. Don't worry about opening the quiz when you aren't ready to take it yet. You can go in and out of the quiz until it is submitted or the due date passes.


2. Answers to Learning Checks: Appendix C is located in the tutor site near the top of the home page.


3. Answers to end of chapter exercises: Listed under each chapter in the tutor site.


4. Lab e-book files: In ChemWeb, click on the lab you want and at the top of the page are the .pdfs to the lab book and the lab files.

Submit the chapter(s) tutor work.  The tutor materials are a paid access site. To purchase the online access to this material go to the site www.chemfortodaytutor.com.  When you first register here is when you pay for the access; after that initial time, you can login here or you can add the login info into your ChemWeb profile for easier one click access (top right corner of the ChemWeb grade book).  If you haven't purchased it yet, you will need to do that first. If you need help, email the bookstore at the bottom of the tutor login page.    

The tutor is set up as a series of statement/questions guiding you through the chapter textbook work.  For Chem 1130, be sure to click on the tab at the top to go to the Chem 1130 tutor section.    Included in the tutor are YouTube video lectures.  Watch those along the way too.  You will answer the questions on a separate paper and then digitize that answer sheet to submit.  You will need to submit this work for a grade.  The answers are provided during the course of the tutor work so you can check yourself along the way.  You don't need to write out the question on your answer sheet.  Answers only.  What we want you to submit is showing your work where possible.  You can submit several files(pages) for each chapter.  One file is fine too.  There are multiple file upload slots.  If you can get all your answer sheet(s) into one file, that's sufficient.  Some can't scan multiple pages to one file, so there are more slots there.  To digitize it, you can scan it, take a picture of it (readable), type it into Word or other methods.  You will submit this work in ChemWeb. The Tutor is a website, so will run on any device.

     3. You are ready to complete the quiz on these chapters.  You will do this by logging into your ChemWeb account.  A good strategy is to print the quiz, take it on paper, then use your book/notes to correct the quiz prior to submitting it for a grade.  This can help you figure out where you need more study time to be prepared for the exams while still saving valuable points.   

     4. Now click on the "Lab" tab and be sure to read the instructions for completing the lab experiments.  We have received permission to share electronic copies of the lab book with our class!  You can access the .pdf of the lab in ChemWeb by clicking on the lab you are working on.  Complete the labs in the lab manual (book) completing all the worksheets.  These worksheets are the answers to what you will input in ChemWeb for grading. 
      Hint: If you have a used book and there is a lot of writing in it, a good solution is to go to ChemWeb, print the input screen for the lab and that gives you a basic, blank worksheet that you can work from. Labs can take several hours to complete, so don't wait until the last minute thinking they are super easy and click, click, done.  If you are missing the rulers from a used lab book page 5/6, see the "Lab" tab under experiment #1 and there is a link to a printable copy.

     5. The Big Question Gen Ed Assignment is a general education required activity.  It is located in Canvas in your course "assignments" tab.  It will be the only thing you will do in Canvas for this class.  Once you complete it, you can go into your ChemWeb account and complete the one question submission question to receive your points.   

     6. Now is a good time to get your testing arrangements made.  You must use ChemWeb Proctoring (CWP) for exams. Review the "exams" page and info there about CWP exam taking.  Review the "Exams" page for more information about the exams for this class.
