  2. CHEM 101 • Some important facts: • CHEM 101 does not count as a GE course. • CHEM 101 cannot substitute for SCI 112. • Students who stop coming to lectures, do no ALEKS homework, or skip the final exam will be given a “WU” grade.

  3. ALEKS • Where is ALEKS? http://www.aleks.com • Use our course code to register: XFKWL-MFYHQ

  4. ALEKS • Hint: do the initial assessment carefully.

  5. Automatic Assessment Time Initial State ALEKS • Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces • Regular assessments and homework mode • My Pie shows what you know and what’s left to learn.

  6. ALEKS Commitment. • ALEKS will take about 8 – 10 hours per week. Seek help early. • Tutors in Sci II room 176, computer access. • Instructor – bring printed problem. • ALEKS customer support for technical help. Do not procrastinate. • Best progress early; weekly goals designed to help. • Impossible to do ALEKS at the last minute.

  7. ALEKS • “My pie” shows how much you know and what’s left to learn.

  8. ALEKS • Do not click “I don’t know” unless you really don’t know.

  9. ALEKS • Helpful tools as you work on concepts: “Explain”, calculator.

  10. ALEKS • The calendar tells you the dates of scheduled assessments.

  11. This week • During this first week, be sure to: • Register in ALEKS. • Carefully complete the first assessment, and make sure you have enough concepts done to meet the bonus. • Get an iClicker. • Check the batteries. Bring to class Wednesday. • Look at your textbook. • Read over the first chapter if you have time. • Bring pencil, Scantron, calculator – Thursday pretest.

  12. ALEKS Practical hints. • MEET your instructor at office hours. Bring a copy of the problem that you are having trouble with. • DO NOT spend hours trying to learn a single concept alone. • UTILIZE your instructor to identify learning problem areas. Discuss strategies to overcome these issues. • PAY SERIOUS attention to the initial assessment. • NEVER hit the “I don’t know button” just to speed up the assessment. You will end up spending much more time later repeating the concepts! • LEAVE WHEN YOU NEED TO. ALEKS will remember your progress, even if you log out during the middle of an assessment.
