Class Cancelled

Lectures on Wed, Sept 29, and Thur, Sept 30, are cancelled.

I want you to succeed in chemistry.

Several students are having difficulty with the course so far. If your test grade was less than 60, I expect you to make an appointment with me next week. I will bring the Office Hour Signup List to class this week and next Monday. After that, openings will be posted on my office door. Please sign up for one of the available 15 minute meetings.

In preparation for the visit, I highly encourage you to view the How To Study podcast at http://web.me.com/hmoody/Chemistry/Podcast/Entries/2007/10/10_How_to_Study_for_a_Chemistry_Course.html. This podcast goes through the steps necessary to do well in any college course.

I also you to utilize the Tutorial Center to get extra help. If you are having other personal issues, i encourage you to utilize the Counseling Center. They are trained professionals who can help with these issues.

I also highly yoy print the lecture notes of before coming to class (http://web.me.com/hmoody/Chemistry/Chem1211Klect.html) then annotate the notes to highlight points.

Notice - First Test! - Notice

The first test for Chem 1211K will be on Sep 14 (TR) and 15 (MW). The test will cover Chapter 1-3 and Nomenclature.

You will need a Scantron and your Note Card for the test. I will provide the test and a Periodic Table.

Several sources of study are available to help you prepare. We have Problem Sets on the Web Site; podcasts; handouts; and the Textbook Companion Web Site and related tests.
