This site has been designed for the students of Dr. Michael Russell's Chemistry 221 class at Mt. Hood Community College. Feel free to use the links on the left to explore, and let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy!
Remember that next week (week 9) is Class Presentations week. Your peer reviewed rough draft paper is due in lab this week, so make sure you have a student in our class lined up to act as your peer reviewer. See the Class Presentations FAQ for more information on the requirements for the presentation and the paper that accompanies the presentation. This week, however, will be the week of Exam II, so prepare to show me all that you have learned over the last several weeks. If you have any questions, contact me.
We will be taking Exam II during recitation this week. It will cover Chapter 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 , and you will need to bring a scantron (50 questions per side), calculator and pencil to the midterm, and no notes will be allowed. Hints for studying for the exam can be found in the Chapter Guides. A sample exam is available on the Chemistry 221 website under Quizzes and Exams. You should be able to see your exam grade by the following Friday. If you have any questions about the exam, please email me. Reminder for Wednesday's Section (Section H1): Be sure to attend your previously agreed upon make up exam time this week!
We will be having a "chalk talk" Exam II Study Session this Friday from 8 AM - 10 AM in AC 1303. Attendance is optional, and questions are appreciated and encouraged!
There will be no school on Wednesday, November 11, in celebration of Veteran's Day... hence, there will be no lecture on this Wednesday.
Finally, we will begin the "Calorimetry" Lab. We will be completing this lab as a Take Home Lab, and instructions on how to complete this lab are provided here. There will be no "regular" lab this week, only the take home Calorimetry lab.
