Sapling Assignments

[Uyen Trinh 3C]

I noticed how there are assignments in addition to the homework without due dates on Sapling right now such as Math Review; Practice Drawing Molecules; and Chemical Equations Training. I was wondering if these are mandatory or just additional practice. If they are graded, how do we know when they are due. Thank you!

I believe those assignments are optional just focus on the weekly sapling assignments, he usually has the sapling assignment that is assigned for the week on ccle :)

[VanessaZhu2L]

I'm pretty sure that they are optional and just for practice if you need it!

[Nishka Vipul 1J]

I looked through the optional assignments and one of them is just a math review. The other one is essentially a walk through and practice of how to write bonds in Sapling!

[Karl Yost 1L]

They're just for your own practice and review — don't stress about them :)

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if the Sapling questions were due this coming Sunday as in three days from now, or if it is due next Sunday as in a week and three days from now. I know Sapling says that the first assignment is due Sunday of week 2, but I did not want miss anything, so if someone could clear up what date is meant by Sunday of week 2, I would really appreciate that.

Sunday of week 2 means next Sunday as in a week and three days from now (January 17).

Those assignments are optional. The only assignments that are due for credit are the weekly Sapling assignments and the 5 weekly chemistry community posts.

[Jeffrey Doeve 2I]

For Alexis Sanft, Sunday of Week 2 for the Sapling due date refers to 1/17/20, so not the coming Sunday.

[Annette Fishman]

Sapling is mandatory homework, due dates are posted on there too. Textbook problems are optional and given as additional help if needed (they show up on exams sometimes)

[Kaley Qin 1F]

Sapling is your graded homework assignment and mandatory. If you check the sapling website, it will say what week it is due. It's always due on sunday.

[Brianna Martilla 1C]

Those additional ones are optional but were helpful to me when I didn't know how to draw molecules, so they can help prepare you for future assigned Sapling problems.

[Akriti Ratti 1H]

Hi! Those are optional. I believe Sapling is the only homework assignment that is actually required and makes up a part of our grade.

[Lily Anne Garcia 1C]

sapling and chem community are the only mandatory graded assignments

[John_Tran_3J]

They are only for extra practice, they are not mandatory!

[Allan Nguyen 2G]

They're optional but I found them to be helpful for Chem 14A last quarter in terms of review and getting used to Sapling.

[Akemi Karamitsos 1E]

Are the questions that say they are due the Sunday of Week 2 the only graded homework for this course? Is everything else provided just optional/recommended/extra practice?

[Jaclyn Dang 3B]

These are just optional and are not graded. The ones that are graded are the weekly ones .

[idella 1D]

Even though they are optional, it doesn't hurt to do them! Any and all practice is beneficial for this class

[Neha Gupta 2A]

Even though they are optional, I found that they really helped me understand bigger concepts last quarter so I would definitely recommend them. :)

[Kaleb Tuliau 3E]

So our only graded homework is the sapling homework assigned within the "Week 1" section?

[Kaleb Tuliau 3E]

And the optional work definitely helped me jump back into math and chemistry, but I am still struggling on some more complex problems

[Sophia Wendin 3L]

They are optional but they are good practice! They were helpful for me last quarter before the midterms/final.

[Lizbeth Garcia 1F]

If you need help with the math I highly recommend it. However, they are optional.

[OmarArafat_2K]

It is just extra work that is probably beneficial in the long run for understanding the concepts, but it is just optional. Our only graded assignments are the weekly Saplings, I'm pretty sure

[Moura Girgis 1F]

Those are just one of the extra resources Dr. Lavelle has given us as practice for the midterms/final.

[Tam Nguyen 2B]

It would still be a good idea to do them, they're just optional though

[ShinwooKim_3E]

They're optional, only to help you! :D

[Mary Gallo 1G]

Those modules are optional for the course. They teach you how to use certain tools in Sapling when answering homework questions.

[905579227]

Yes they were optional but they extremely helped me on the final in areas I was struggling with!

[905579227]

Does anyone know if Chem14c uses sapling because although I didn't really like sapling i Loved to see the solutions, it was really good review.
