Chemistry grades on WEBSIS

Your chemistry grades should be made available via WEBSIS by May 29th. None of the chemistry staff will be able to give you your grade via email.

Everyone is on grades this term. If you are a first-year, you will get an A, B, C or No record/nothing (which means that you did not get credit for the course this term). If you are an upperclassman, your letter grade will be seen on WEBSIS.

If you would like to see your final exam in chemistry, you will need to make an appointment with Patti Christie (patti@mit.edu). You will have to complete your appointment by the second week of classes in the fall. If you are around MIT this summer, you can make appointments to see your exam after June 4th.

Enjoy your break from MIT classes.

end of term announcements

1. Please take a few moments to fill out the course evaluation form on-line at http://web.mit.edu/subjectevaluation. You need to have it filled out before Monday May 21st at 9 am. The chemistry department takes these very seriously and we use these evaluations to make improvements/changes to the course - so your opinion matters.
2. There will be a review session on Friday May 18th from 2 to 5 pm in 32-155. There will be a formal review of material since the third exam ( Electrochemistry, Transition metals and Kinetics) from 3 to 4 and then question and answers about exam 1 material ( 3:15 to 3:45), exam 2 (4 to 4:30) and exam 3 ( 4:30 to 5 pm)
3. There are also going to be office hours on Monday May 21st from 2 pm to 9 pm in 4-153.
4. The instructions for the final exam are posted on the exam page on the stellar site.
5. There are lots of review questions on the MITx site for electrochemistry, Transition metals and kinetics under "review for the final exam".
6. There is one sample final exam and its solutions also posted on the exam page. It is designed to give you an idea of the format of the exam. Note that neither Prof. Bawendi nor Prof. Pentelute wrote the exam, so to see their style of questions, refer to the in class exams 1, 2, and 3 which they wrote.

removed the overpotential question from problem set 8

Because we ended up not covering it great detail, the overpotential question has been removed from this week's problem set.

Announced on 02 May 2018 11:35 a.m. by Patricia D Christie

Problem set 8 is entirely on MITx

There is no written part to the electrochemistry problem set - it is entirely on-line at the lms site.
It is available now, and you can do all of it now since we finished the unit in lecture today.

MITx site seems to be having issues

The 5.111x site seems to be not allowing answers to be submitted - you can see the questions, but when you try to submit an answer it does not let you,
You can still see the answers if you hit the show answer button. So please continue to work the questions off-line and then check your work against the answer.
MITx-support has been notified, but it is unknown if it will be fixed.
