Check back here for class announcements and information, including answers to questions I get via email. If you really want to dig in, you can check out the website at http://www.highlands.edu/chemistry.
The first day of class for the Spring Semester is January 10, 2011. In the first class meeting we will cover the syllabus, web site, and begin Chapter 1.
Don't forget that the lecture notes are posted at http://web.me.com/hmoody/Chemistry/Chem1211Klect.html. To enhance your learning experience, I highly recommend that you print the lecture notes before coming to class. Otherwise you will have difficulty keeping up.
Also, I highly recommend you view the How to Study podcast at .
Chapter 1 Hints!
As you study Sections 1.8 through 1.14 of Chapter 1, you will develop skills that you will need to further understand chemistry. Do not just learn to go through the motions in a way to work a certain kind of question. Instead, keep in mind why you are approaching a problem in a particular way. Develop a reasoning strategy. Develop a plan on how to solve the problem. Then develop the detailed solution. look at a problem to determine what is being asked for and then develop your plan for solving the problem.
