Announcements - Chem 211

When mid-term grades are submitted they are "estimates" based only on Test 1.  Mid-term grades are not permanently recorded.

Solutions to the problems at the end of each chapter of the text are now on the web page as listed above.  You should attempt many of these problems before looking at the answer.  Doing lots of problems from this and other sources is the only way to learn chemistry. Problems are one of the best learning tools.  Just reading the text and lecture note is not sufficient.

REMINDER:   You must be enrolled in lab, attend labs and complete and hand in greater than 75% of labs to receive a passing grade for the course OR you must have an official lab waver obtained at the beginning of the semester from the chemistry department due to having completed 251 lab or its equivalent previously at GMU or elsewhere.  This is determined by the chemistry office.  A copy of the approved waiver should be also given to the course instructor.
