A study guide, model kit, and Chem Office software are also available. Model kits may be used on tests.

 

General information: Four hourly tests, each worth 200 points, will be given on the following Wednesdays:

 

Wed., Sept. 14                      Wed., Oct. 5                          Wed., Oct. 26                       Wed., Nov. 16

 

The final exam will consist of a fifth test (worth 200 points covering chapters 25, 26, 27, 28) and an optional comprehensive section (worth 200 points). The comprehensive section is available to those who were absent from one of the earlier tests or to those who wish to improve a score from an earlier test. Said another way, the course is worth 1,000 points and your course grade will be determined by your five highest 200 point units.

 

In preparation for each test you are urged to concentrate on class notes and discussion and suggested problems. The text will serve as a supplement to the notes. Help sessions will be scheduled prior to each test. A help session will be scheduled on Thursday of each week in the late afternoon.
