FAQs Recording the class is fine. When the website is working, I will
post the powerpoint slides there AFTER class, probably the next day.
The Course Website Is broken! (for now)
Chem 101A is the same course taught by a different instructor (Gretchen). You can use that website for now. (Ignore specific dates though.)
Section BDJ Your location information is not
online, as of yesterday. Here it is: Lab: 201 Chem Annex Discussion: 19 Noyes Lab If you didn’t make it to lab as a
result, touch base with your TA so they know that you are in the course.
Textbook Homework Page 10 of your lab manual has a list
of problems. These correspond to end-of-chapter problems in the textbook.
Chapter 2 and 3 are due tomorrow in discussion. You will turn them in and your TA will grade for completion. Showing work is a good idea.
