Check back soon for your final assigned letter grades!
8/5: IMPORTANT: Problems
9.38, 9.42 and 9.46 on e-homework had wrong answers in Wiley Plus.
Please disregard these problems. The e-homework is now updated
here!
8/4: YES! ANSWERS for
Extra Credit
e-homework for Ch 10 are now
provided in this website. Follow
the link homeworks at the bottom of
the page, and then scroll at the bottom of the new webpage for the
updated link. ENJOY!
8/4: IMPORTANT: Some
last
minute
guidelines about our exam on Wednesday: PLEASE follow the following rules
religiously, so that we have a smooth uninterrupted and hopefully
successful for everybody final test!
1) Come on time. Latecomers will be accepted, but being late adds a lot
of extra stress!
2) Bring a number 2 pencil. Pencils will NOT be provided by the
instructor.
3) Bring a photo ID (Your driver's licence or FIU ID)
4) Do NOT bring a scantron. These I will provide.
5) Do NOT bring a periodic table. There is one in your exam.
6) Bring a simple calculator. (Log/exp) functions are allowed. Graphing
applications are NOT.
7) Before the exam, turn off (or completely silence) your cellular
phone, place it in your bag, and place the bag with all your books and
notes in the front of the class. If your cellphone rings during the
exam, your exam will end, and you will be asked to leave, as a
punishment for disrespecting your colleagues who are trying to
concentrate. If you are caught texting or receiving text messages, it
will be considered a serious offence, and breach of academic honesty,
with the known severe consequences.
8) After you are finsihed with your exam, sign and date your original,
make sure that all the information in your scantron, (including exam
form) are filled, show your ID to the TA or myself, and you are ready
to go. You are NOT allowed to take the exam original or your scantron
out of the room for any reason.
9) Last minute Study tips: I ANTICIPATE YOU WILL DO WELL BECAUSE I
NOTICED MOST OF YOU ARE DOING THE HOMEWORKS. Homeworks are very
important and study them before taking the exam. This does not mean
that the questions will be identical to homeworks (some may be).
Go through the important concepts in the book that are needed in order
to understand the homeworks. Do not spend much time in reading the book
on things that I did not talk about, or are not at all in any of the
homeworks. Scroll through the class notes. DO NOT PULL AN
ALL-NIGHTER. Most likely the benefit of studying more, will be
outweighed by lack of concentration due to missing sleep, which may
result in silly mistakes.
GOOD LUCK:) THE EXAM WILL BE VERY REASONABLE, AND AS ALWAYS I WILL CURVE!

The homeworks that are given to you on this site under the link "homeworks"consist
of sets of questions (mostly multiple choice) and they are not
going
to be graded unless you login into the wiley plus website and submit
them electronically for up to 5% extra credit. Please visit this
website after the lecture
for
each chapter and before the recommended due date and answer the
questions.
I will post answers shortly after the recommended due date. It is good
practice and fun, and it will prepare you for the exams!
The
"Raymond book website" (public website) can be used for
accessing
the web-based material of the textbook, and for practicing.
It is strongly recommended that you do the
homeworks
and practice. Please also be advised that a large portion of the
exam
questions will be based on the homework problems and practice
questions
from the book, as assigned.
Are you sure your name is actually included
in the classroll? To confirm please connect frequently during the
semester to MyFiu.
Please check after the due date for paying the
tuition and after the midterm drop due date, because then is when
more of the accidental drop incidents occur. No matter how hard you
study,
if you are not enrolled you are not going to get a grade. What a
pity!
