Chemistry 61 Fall 2002
Announcements: (12/8/02) Test 3 is graded. See below for the key and distribution. I have also estimated grades (not counting the 20% for the final paper). I'll discuss this in class on Monday. Please note the criteria for the oral report.
(12/1/02) On Monday 12/2, we will finish our coverage of Chapter 12--X-ray spectroscopy. We will take a tour of the Science Division's Keck Lab on Wednesday 12/4, and take Test 3 on Thursday 12/5. Solutions to most of the suggested Unit 3 problems are below. Please note that attending the Keck Lab tour is mandatory. I will subtract 5 points from your Test 3 score if you do not attend the tour. From 12/6 to 12/13, we will hear talks. (I will lead off describing some of my Ph.D. research on 12/6.) Here is the schedule of talks. Attending your classmates' talks is also mandatory. I will subtract 5 points from your final paper score for each day of talks you miss.
Old announcements are at the bottom of the page.
