A requirement for this course is participation in a graded online homework system called Achieve operated by Macmillan Learning, Inc. There is a per-term cost of $107 for this service, though if you purchased a full-year subscription last term, that can be used for CH335. This cost includes access to the e-text version of the textbook. Information on how to sign up and use this service is provided below.
While I realize this is an extra cost, I believe this activity will ensure you get the most out of the course. The fee covers access for both CH 335 this term and CH 336 Spring term. Those who purchased full-year access in Fall should be able to continue by accessing Achieve through the course Canvas site ("Macmillan Learning"; "Achieve").

Please be sure to use your ONID email address when you register; otherwise I will not be able to correctly assign the points you earn.

Achieve - Organic Chemistry Question Sets
Achieve's chemistry questions are delivered in a web browser to provide real-time grading, response-specific coaching, improvement of problem-solving skills, and detailed answer explanations. Dynamic answer modules enable one to interact with 3D models and figures, utilize drag-and-drop synthetic routes, and draw chemical structures - including stereochemistry and curved arrows. Altogether, Achieve is cheaper than a tutor, provides more value than a solutions manual, and goes beyond a mere assessment exercise to give a learning experience.

Students, we will be using Achieve for our homework. To get started: Preferred method.
  1. Log into Canvas using your oregonstate.edu user name and password.
  2. Select CH 331.
  3. Choose the “Macmillan Learning” option on the left.
  4. “Achieve” will be at the top of the page that appears; click this link.
  5. Create an account. If you already have a Macmillan Learning account you can log in with your existing credentials and skip to step 7. (Canvas may take you directly to Step 7, too!)
    1. Create your password and set all three security questions.
    2. (May not be necessary) Start typing in your institution to select from the options that appears in the Primary Institution or School name field. If Oregon State University does not appear you can add it by typing in the full name.
    3. Accept the terms of use and click “Sign Up”.
    4. Check your email for the confirmation link to complete your registration and return to the login page.
  6. (May not be necessary) Set your institution by searching using your institution’s full name and selecting the appropriate option from the menu that appears.
  7. Under Enroll in a new course, you should see Courses at Oregon State University. Click to expand this list and see courses arranged by subject. Click on a subject to see the terms that courses are available.
  8. Click on the term to expand the menu further (note that Semester 1 refers to the first course in a sequence and not necessarily the first term of the school year).
  9. Once the menus are fully expanded, you’ll see a link to a specific course. If this is indeed the course you’d like to register for, click the link. (NOTE: Dr. Gable teaches different courses that use Achieve. Be sure to choose CH 335, or you will not receive homework credit (and the exercises will be very confusing! If you enter via Canvas this should be moot as you should be directed to the correct linked course.)
