UNFORTUNATELY, it appears that the latest versions of Safari and Firefox do NOT correctly display this Web page; if you're having trouble seeing everything here, you'll need to use MS Internet Explorer or the browser Opera (available as a free download at www.Opera.com)

NOTE:  If you are enrolled in CHM 101 but have not completed CHM114 (the "pre-req"), the administration may drop you from CHM101 ~OR~ you may be "blocked" from enrolling in CHM101 via Webreg.  If this happens, you will need to complete a Prerequisite Appeal Petition (available in the counseling office).  Suitable justifications for remaining in CHM101 include successful completion of a high school chemistry class, relatively high grades in other math and/or science classes, high motivation to succeed. 

Notes regarding this Schedule:
This schedule will be revised and updated on a regular basis - typically several times each week.
This schedule applies to the "day" sections of general chemistry, and the evening section of CHM 101 will probably follow this schedule pretty closely.  However, you should check with Dr. Stevenson about possible deviations.

Final Exam Information:

The final exam will be given in the lecture hall, 10-11:50am on Monday, Dec. 8.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE REGULAR LECTURE TIME; final exam schedules are different than the regular class schedule.

chapters 1-6:    12 questions (2 per chapter); 134 points (2/3 of the final exam)
chapter 18:        6 questions; 66 points (1/3 of the final exam)
