How to use OWL

Accessing OWL

Go to owl.oit.umass.edu, scroll down to “Other Universities” and choose either UMass Boston General Chemistry or UMass Boston Organic Chemistry.

Direct links: GenChem is https://owl.oit.umass.edu/owl-c/user/loginpage.cgi?UserType=Student&Server=owl-umbgenchem

Students need to enter a username and a password to access OWL. Their username is their UMS# (just the eight digits, not the letters at the beginning). Their default password is their last name as it appears on the class roster (that means if their last name is “Smith-Jones” it includes the hyphen; if it is “Da Silva” it includes the space, and so on).

Solution to the above problems

Look for POGIL worksheets on the Blackboard..

 

The tests have to be picked up within two weeks of the test or they will end up in the recycling bin.

Please note that if you want to come back and see your final exams, they will be available only for a limited time after the start of the new semester.

Fall 115 will be available till 1st March of the next year.

Spring 116 and Summer 115/116 will also be available till September 30th of the following semester.

After that all the exams will be kept in the recycling bin.

Change of Grade:

For any reason if you have a grade change, it needs to be done in a reasonable amount of time. You have two months from the date the grades are posted to ensure any correction is made and is showing on your transcript. No grade change will be made after this time.

You are responsible to check that the grade change is made on your transcript.

 

Recommndation Letters  

(FORM please put a date on the form)

Many of you come for recommendation letters after you have taken the class with me for various things. It may be a good idea to come and meet with me when you are still in class so I have some idea of who you are, also remember that every semester I have many recommendation requests, so give me enough time. Also I will not write a recommendation letter if the attached form is half filled. Do not forget to put a date on the form.

Check out these websites,they have great information:
