Here are videos that cover the equilibrium calculations that we did in class:

• Equilibrium Constants
• Equilibrium Concentrations

Folks doing projects meet at 9am Thu. Apr. 5 in LIB 2617 (one of the computer classrooms in the Academic Computing Center in the Library).

• For spring quarter, please find a Physics page, also linked in the main navigation bar.
• You can find the Week 21 HW problems for Ch. 29 there.
• Complete All Problems in your Physics Problem Set Notebook. Bold underline problems also due via MasteringPhysics by 9pm on Sat. Apr. 7, 2018.

• Please find problem set assignment at the Math page, also linked in the main navigation bar.
• Complete All Problems in your Math Problem Set Notebook. Bold underline problems also due via WebAssign by 9pm on Fri. Apr. 6, 2018.

No need to print these out – we’ll hand out paper copies at our first class meeting (9am Mon. Apr. 2 in CAL West).

• Spring Quarter Reading and Schedules
• Spring Quarter Learning Goals

Regional Science Conference Opportunities. All are optional. Register on your own, transportation provided. All conferences are local, so for any that last more than one day, we’ll return back to campus each day.

• MAA PNW (Mathematics Association of America Pacific Northwest) Section Meeting. 4/20-4/21, Seattle University. https://www.seattleu.edu/scieng/math/talks-and-events/pnw-maa-section-meeting-2018/
• ACS PSS URS (American Chemical Society Puget Sound Section Undergraduate Research Symposium). 4/28, Evergreen. http://pugetsound.sites.acs.org/pssugressymp.htm
• APS NW (American Physical Society Northwest) Section Meeting. 6/1-6/2, University of Puget Sound. https://www.pugetsound.edu/academics/departments-and-programs/undergraduate/physics/nwaps2018 
  • The first day of this conference is the same as Evergreen’s Science Carnival. If we do go on the first day, we’ll try to make it in time for the afternoon poster session and for the evening banquet (which is an additional charge not covered in the registration fee). It is possible that we may only go up for Saturday.

• Math and Physics Reading Responses assigned for Sun. Apr. 1 (no fooling!)
• First spring quarter class meeting starts promptly at 9am Mon. Apr. 2 in CAL West. Note room change: meet in CAL West, not Classroom 5 for this class meeting. (Please make sure your classmates know this)
• Rest of Monday as scheduled.
• Tuesday morning Chemistry Lab meets at 9am in Lab 2 1241, as scheduled.
• Tuesday afternoon Math starts at 1pm Tue. Apr. 3 in Classroom 5, not 1:30 for this class meeting.
• Rest of week as scheduled.

Students’ projects for spring quarter are turning out to be very varied. Here are a few answers to student questions.

Project Outputs

•  For literature- or lab-based projects, you will be submitting two outputs: A review or research paper, and a 20-minute Powerpoint presentation during Science Carnival.
• If you are taking an online course instead of completing a project, your sole output for the quarter will be a certificate of completion from the online course (along with other process checks agreed to with your supervising faculty). If your course does not offer such a certificate, check in with Robin for acceptable output.

Class time devoted to Student Projects

• Thursday, 9-10 am every week, will be devoted to project process time and/or check-ins.
• Weeks 26-29 of what would normally be chemistry lab time (Tues 9-12) will be devoted to project work. Some of this will be open time to do lab work if necessary, and some will be devoted to process elements (like peer review of presentations).
• There will also be time carved from physics (exact times still TBA).

Approximate Timeline

• Week 21: Draft of project proposal due by 9 am Thursday (4/5). We will refine this draft during project time to include learning objectives.
• Week 22: Final project proposal due 9 am Thursday (4/12). First set of students do proposal/background presentations.
• Week 23: Second set of students do proposal/background presentations
• Week 24: Annotated bibliography due 9 am 4/23. Students discuss annotated bibliographies with Robin.
• Week 25: no in-class project work–get a solid draft ready for week 26!
• Week 26: Peer Review of first half of papers (Introduction/Background, Materials and Methods, Preliminary Results/Analysis/Discussion)
• Week 27: First set of students do preliminary results presentations
• Week 28: Second set of students do preliminary results presentations
• Week 29:
  • (Tues/Wed): final presentations for faculty/other project students
  • (Fri) present at Science Carnival (NOTE: All students in M&M are to attend Science Carnival Presentations, please arrange your schedules)
• Week 30: Final project papers due 9 am Thursday
