H1N1 Flu?
Telephone advice from Alberta Health Services is available by phoning 780-408-5465 (Edm) or 1-866-408-5465 . If there is a possibility that you have H1N1, you might be told to stay home 7 days. Simply email me this information if you are going to miss a lab. You will not do a makeup but the wt will go on the end of term lab exam. The directive from the Univerisity is given here. Note though item 7 of that directive: "Instructors and Faculty Offices will retain the discretion to grant or not grant an excused absence for term work or examinations, but no refusal may be made on the basis of the absence of medical documentation alone." This means that your actions must be consistent with your statements. For example, if you miss a lab at 8am b/c you've caught the flu, you cannot be writing an exam at (say)11am or the next day, or attending a different lab, or be in classes or out working at Java Jive. If you have three exams in two days, you cannot ask to be excused or defer one of them and then write the others.
Information about Univ clinics are here.
If you enjoyed your labs this term, you agree with 74.6% of your classmates. Other lab survey results are shown here. The Lec/Lab Help sessions will go to extended hours starting Mon Sept 21. There is a new textbook this year: Chemistry, 5th ed by M.S. Silberberg. The exception is Chem 102/5 for Sept-Dec 2009 will stay with last year's text, Petrucci 9th ed. If you need a copy of Petrucci, just put an ad on the bulletin boards. There are THOUSANDS of used copies of Petrucci that folks would be delighted to unload.
There is a Chem 10X on-line Lab Help site.
Chris Grant in the help room recommends the "Just Ask Antoine" site for common questions.
