Problem Set (PS) J – Addition
Smith Chapters 10 & 11, Klein Chapters 11 & 12 (selected)
Due Feb. 1, 2022
Note: Optional problems generally offer more practice with the same concepts and
skills covered in the required problems. You know best whether you need the
additional practice. Also, it is expected that reading a section includes doing the
imbedded problems.
How to Grade and Submit Your Homework
After you complete the required pencil and paper homework problems, find a writing implement
of a different color than what you did your work with and self-grade all of the problems for
which an answer is provided on the answer key. A key will be provided before Monday
morning. Some problems, highlighted in red, will not have answers on the key. These may be
graded by the instructors for correctness.
*-Put a star by any question that was completely correct.
X- Put an X by any question that was partially or completely off. Write in the correct answer.
Briefly explain what caused you to write an incorrect answer. (Examples; missed part of
directions, mixed up substituent names, forgot to count all the hydrogen atoms, etc)
– Make a list of homework questions you would like to see worked or that you have questions
about.
– Add any concept/ content questions that you want clarified.
– Make a plan to see me or a TLC tutor or work with a study buddy to get these questions
answered.
– Turn in a hard copy or scan and upload the original work, any corrections and your questions as
a gradable part of your homework.
