Course Syllabus

This is me: Who Me?.pptx

This summer the course will be entirely online.  Please view the requirements for the course including the direct time investment which is 10.8 direct contact hours for lecture and 10.8 direct contact hours for lab.  Additionally you need to plan for a minimum of 20 hours and more likely up to 25 hours per week for study and problem solving.  If you cannot meet this requirement, you should not take the course.  Considering that, this is a full-time commitment.  The course will use the online textbook (or print) Introductory Chemistry, by Tro 6th editiion which must be read, along with the lectures provided each day

Testing will occur online and will consist of daily homework quizzes and weekly sectional and mastery exams.  Communication will be via the Inbox or by my personal email, glessard@llu.edu.  I will respond within the day, prior to July and during the class, morning and evening.

In addition, my contract with you for the course is found in the Syllabus S 20.S2 Syllabus.docx   We will review the syllabus in lab the first day.  Should you have any questions, ask them at that time.  Since we will have discussed them in lab, the content will be binding on all students.

The weekly lecture scheduleSummer Schedule 20.docx provides you with the information as to what you need to study and the minimum set of problems you need to solve in order to be ready for the sectional examinations.  Please go over mine and my wife's recommended method for study.  There are no shortcuts.  Remember, you are learning how to study for the sciences and the health sciences in this class

The lab schedule details the Zoom Meeting and Lab ScheduleUnified Schedule-Class Activities.docx (tentative, will be edited)for the course.  Note that you are expected to remember what you learned in each lab as that will be tested over.  Many of the Exercises and some of the labs will be taken directly from the Departmental CHEM 101 Lab ManualChem101FullLabManual2019-2020.pdf
