Problem Sets.
In general, one problem set is assigned each week and is due on Tuesday
at the start of class. The problems assigned will come from our text,
Quantiative
Chemical Analysis, 6th edition. Specific problem assignments
are given below. The Problems Sets will be graded individually,
and each person must turn in their own work for credit. This does
not mean that you shouldn't or can't discuss the problems with your colleagues!
I encourage you to do so.

The 12 assigned Problem Sets are worth a total of 10 points
each. Each set ten or less problems, and each problem has one or
more parts. Each of these will be weighted equally (say one point), no
matter what their relative complexity is, and broken down as per:
Punctuality is highly valued. Your homework
grades will be assessed penalties as follows if they are not turned in
at the start of class on the day due:
The individual parts of each problem will be scored
this way, and the individual scores added to get a total (say 14 for a
set with 8 problems and 2 parts per problem). This final score will then
be expressed in terms of 10 points (here, for example, 14/16 = 0.88 and
0.88 * 10 = 8.6 points). In this way you will get the same amount
of credit for working a simple problem as you do for working a hard one,
making it a management decision on your part as to how much time to spend
on any one problem, compared to another, both to accumulate a score and
to prepare for the final examination.
If this particular homework assignment was turned in one
class period late the score would be adjusted for the lack of punctuality:
8.6 point * 0.5 = 4.3 points earned. Clearly, punctuality is very
important, except in circumstances beyond your control (which, by the way,
does not include forgetting the assignment in your room on the day it is
due).
Data Analysis and Information Technology (DAIT) Assignments. These problems or projects are intended to help each person in the company interact with others to develop expertise in two important aspects of data analysis and information management. Some of the assignments are geared at developing proficiency with some of the class software, which currently includes Microsoft Office Suite (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint) and LabVIEW. Other assignments are geared more toward using the Web and Data Base searching, including SciFinder Scholar. Expertise with such tools is something employers are always looking for, and whatever you can learn about them now should be of immediate help to you when you go to work or to professional or graduate school.
The experiments will be brief. They will be done
by companies in a role-playing mode. The roles that individuals have
within the Company that week will be the same roles they play for these
assignments. It is up to Manager to ensure that the responsibilities
of the assignment are met. It is in each person's professional benefit
to learn as much as possible about using computers in a professional situation
by complete participation in the computer experiments. Every assignment
should have a time/date stamp.

DAIT assignments 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 are worth 15 points.
DAIT assignments 3, 6 and 8 are worth 25 points. Each company member
will receive the same grade as Manager.
