ALEKS Summer Chem Program??

<p>I'm still confused. So is this extra credit for those of us not enrolled in Sailor's class? I'm still not sure how this points system is working out...</p>

2

<p>Well it says anyone who is currently enrolled in Chem 6A and not in Sailor’s class is eligible for up to 5% extra credit if they complete the summer program.</p>

3

<p>haha 5%… sounds like bribery. 5% for $25.</p>

4

<p>Sounds worth it to me :-D</p>

5

<p>I’d consider doing it too… if I’m guaranteed a spot in Chem 6A…</p>

6

<p>What is this ALEKS thing you are talking about? I’m taking CHEM 6A with Weinbeger in the Fall.</p>

<p>@bobman
You have to pay?! I didnt check the site since i’m waitlisted</p>

8

<p>This is from an email sent from Dr. Johson. Check your UCSD emails.</p>

9

<p>It was only sent to those waitlisted according to the email.</p>

10

<p>worth it IF were guaranteed.</p>

11

<p>@bobo: Oh yeah I just saw that. That’s pretty stupid then.</p>

<p>

</p>

12

<p>They said they’ll resend it multiple times in case someone didnt receive it. Hopefully they find their flaw.</p>

13

<p>what flaw? lol sounds like a legit freshman guinea pig program to me</p>

14

<p>Flaw that they didnt send it to all chem6a students</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>I received the e-mail and I’m not on a waitlist. </p>

<p>I’m going to do this. Paying for it sucks, but it should help refresh my memory on some chem topics and also earn some extra credit. It is definitely a good way to start of on the right foot for the upcoming year.</p>

<p>“This e-mail is intended for students waitlisted in:
CHEM 6A A01 FA10 General Chemistry I
CHEM 6A A02 FA10 General Chemistry I
CHEM 6A A03 FA10 General Chemistry I
CHEM 6A A04 FA10 General Chemistry I
etc”</p>

<p>I guess i was wrong then, oh well. I would do this if i get off waitlist. We’re already paying so much. Another $25 for half a grade seems like a good deal to me.</p>

17

<p>She must have sent them in different batches.

</p>

18

<p>Yeah, I think anyone that had anything to do with Chem 6A got this email.</p>

19

<p>I don’t see how this is manipulation, bribery, or conspiracy… I think it was very astute of the administration to realize a lot of high schoolers took chem at least 2-3 years ago and needed a refresher course. I probably would have done this program even without the extra credit, because it’s probably going to gain me points on the first exam, on which I will definitely be rusty on concepts.</p>

<p>You know what, it’s just a guinea pig program they’re bribing us to do. I mean, it IS legitamate, so it may be worth it.</p>
