<p>While we’re talking about chemistry and Dr. Laude. Apparently one of Dr. Laude’s TA will now be replacing Bocknack & teaching Organic chemistry. Vanessa M Williams. A graduate student (not even a PHD)? :/</p>
<p>I’m really hoping a lot of people signed up for Iverson’s class did not pay their tuition yet! XD</p>
<p>Was I suppose to by Aleks now or later? I already took this assessment and am doing the modules, but I noticed on the top it keeps saying “Summer 2010”. Will my scores and completing all that work not count for my Fall class? =.=</p>
<p>Anyone? :))</p>
<p>hey does anyone know if i got an 88 if i have to do the learning modules or whatever? do we have to geta 100? thanks!</p>
<p>bearonion, I think you have to get 70 or above, so you are good. for statistics class, greater or equal to 30 is good.</p>
<p>Moochi, last year Laude made the Summer ALEKS 5% of your total grade.</p>
<p>Ah. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Hey Moochi I was wondering as to how you approached your request to place into Laude’s class. I’m not looking to get into his class, but to get into a Bio teacher’s class I originally wanted but ended up not getting.</p>
<p>For Laude’s class did he just take the score you got on ALEKS and that was the 5% of your grade? Like if you got a 75, that 75 was 5% or was it just if you did it you got the points and if you didn’t it was a zero?</p>
<p>Hey lockdown, here is the email I sent!</p>
<p>Hello Dr. Laude! My name is Jessica Briseno and I am an incoming freshmen this fall. I was signing up for CH 301 and noticed that your class was closed off. You wouldn’t happen to have any form of a waiting list, do you? Or is your class closed forever? (For the fall that is) Just thought I would ask, just in case. </p>
<p>Thank you for your time,</p>
<p>Jessica Briseno</p>
<p>Just real casual. :)</p>
<p>^Thanks for posting that, I’ll do mine in that manner then.</p>
<p>But I would recommend that you edit out your name in your post, just to be safe.</p>
<p>BTW, anyone here take the Chem ALEKS yet? I haven’t bought the test yet and school starts in about a week. Is it relatively simple or are there a lot of AP type questions on it?</p>
<p>For anyone planning to e-mail Laude, this is from his syllabus for CH301:</p>
<p>SOME TIPS ON E-MAIL ETIQUETTE</p>
<p>Sorry, I can’t take it anymore and have to start sounding like your father. You may have noticed there are now two ways of saying the same thing in an e-mail. Note the first form is used in presumptuously cool TV commercials from people trying to sell you small electronic gadgets.</p>
<p>hey laudeman :::?”
i want my five points for extra credit @@#?::”))(:J</p>
<p>I know you have your own way of doing e-mail and I am unlikely to change it, but understand that there is a difference between using Instant Messenger with your girl friends and e-mailing your professor with a request. In my old-fashioned opinion, e-mail is no different than a letter, a phone call or an office visit.</p>
<p>Each of these forms of communication includes:</p>
<p>• a salutation with appropriate title (for example, I am Professor Laude or Dr. Laude—I am not Mr. Laude or dave or hey loudman:::/) or undeserving of any greeting at all.
• a decent stab at identifying who you are (including your uteid if it is something to do with grades in the class) so that when I e-mail you back I can include my own correct salutation
• a succinct but thorough description of why you e-mailed me.</p>
<p>Also desired but non-essential courtesies include:
• A friendly farewell (like “Have a good weekend” or “Thank you”)
• Punctuation reflecting the possibility you were educated in a school system. Using these suggestions, an e-mail to me might look like this:</p>
<p>Professor Laude,
I am e-mailing to request an appointment time with you to discuss some non-academic concerns that are making it difficult to ace your exams.
Thanks for the opportunity,
Harold Carmichael

<p>Now I don’t particularly care if you want to ignore my suggestions, but there will come a day when your lack of attention to these courtesies will have an undesired consequence, like ignoring your e-mail.</p>

<p>The University of Texas at Austin does not allow courses to be taught by individuals who do not have a PhD. She must have been a recent graduate and was not updated in the system yet. Anyone listed on the course schedules as teaching a lecture holds a doctorate degree.</p>
<p>^ Wow, a semester too late, man. </p>
<p>Heard she is a really bad prof, nevertheless.</p>
<p>On another note, I have Colapret for Ochem II. Iverson isn’t teaching next semester, but Anslyn is…</p>
<p>Anslyn is a great Prof. Talk to him.</p>
