I have posted four old exams from a previous semester. The sequence of these exams is not the same as the sequence of material we are covering. Therefore, for the first exam next week, you need to look at the old exam three for the material that will be on your exam.

Exam one now has a date set and you are cordially invited to attend. It is Sept 25 at 11am. No RSVP necessary.

The Chapter 7 lecture notes are now available in the Downloads section.

Here are suggested problems from Chapter 7 in the book. Feel free to use the discussion board on the Facebook group to talk about these if needed.

I have updated the info in the VitalSource book for Chapter 2.

As I mentioned in class, one of the great features of the VitalSource text is that you can subscribe to my notes in the book. To do so, you need to select “Subscribe to Highlighters” found under the “File” menu (on both Mac and Windows).

This will give you the opportunity to enter an email address to subscribe to.

You will put in my email address: overbyj@cofc.edu

If you choose to go the electronic textbook route, the website you need is:

http://www.vitalsource.com/

Again, you need to make sure you get the correct text. Look in the syllabus to find the author’s name and you can see the cover of the book in the syllabus here on my website.

Here is the course code you will need to register for ALEKS.

I have now added a document to the Downloads that explains the philosophy and some of the day-to-day operation of the program. You need to read this extremely carefully!

Welcome to Honors Chemistry! This blog will be a place that you can get up-to-date info about the course. Due dates for assignments, exam dates, homework problems, etc. will be posted here.
