Overall Update

Today:

SLO Project

1) I studied the CCSF Chemistry SLO website in more detail to extract information pertaining to the four questions I have about the SLO process.

2) I sent two more email inquiries to a Glendale Community College chemistry professor and division chair and to a San Jose City College chemistry faculty and member of the SLO committee.

Lab Manual

1) I received a response from Mike about looking at the revised 3102 lab as he concedes that he has the same issues with the current one.

2) I checked on my copper oxide compound left overnight drying in the fume hood.  It seemed pretty dry but the mass I got for the compound indicated a CuO2 formula which does not make sense.  I suspect  that there is still water so I left it again overnight in the fume hood for weighing tomorrow.  It might be better if students use the oven for drying and dry to constant weight.

Physio-Micro Questions

1) I finally finished reading Chapter 18.

2) I have now about 36 questions from Silverthorn's text.

3) I added more notes about O2 and CO2 transport.

Articles:

I downloaded more articles for reading.

Others:

First day of installation for the GC-MS.  I chatted with and watched the guy installing it for a while.

I looked for LLNL posters in my email for archiving.
