Information about the diagnostic
test and the proficiency
quiz
Adding Chem 1A:
To add chem. 1A you need to choose from the lab
sections (click
here for the days and times) that fit your schedule.
On the first lab meeting you must show up and
sign the add wish list.
All students that enroll or wish to add must
take the chem. 1A diagnostic test. Click here
for more information.
Please be aware that the sections immediately
before and after the lecture ar the most popular so the chance of adding is
low. There will often be room available in the night sections if you really
wish to add...
Please do not sign
up for the OWL homework until you are sure you are in a section.
Those wishing to
switch sections must first drop from the section in which you are enrolled
before adding to another section. You must sign the add-list and we cannot
guarantee enrollment in the desired section.
Textbook and OWL
Information
The textbook is the 6th edition of Kotz and
Treichel, copyright 2006. This book will be used throughout the series (Chem
1A, 1B) so you will not buy a new book later. It includes a CD-ROM with
visual linked to the text. The bundle in the book store comes with
the student solutions manual and the OWL text code. You will need this code to
access the homework assigned. (I'll explain this when class starts, please see
the HW assignments page). If you plan to move on with a career in science or
engineering, this book should be a reference in your personal library for many
years to come.
If you purchased your test book from another source, you will need to purchase
the OWL access code at the bookstore or online. See the link below.
