LAST UPDATE:  Saturday, December 13, 2008 08:23 AM

CLASS SCHEDULE AND ASSIGNMENTS

To do well in chemistry and get the most out of classroom experiences,, you should be prepared for each class.  I will post reading and other assignments for the next class by 5PM of the class day we just completed.  For example, after Class 1 ( 8/31 W), you should prepare for class 2 (9/2) by reading the assigned text and doing the JIT assignment BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS 2.

Tutors will be available:  TBA
