WELCOME!!!!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:  Over-enrollment procedure:  Attend the lectures but do not ask me to sign your over-enrollment card.  Go to the lab you wish to take and get the lab instructor to sign your over-enrollment card and then bring it to lecture and I will sign it for lecture and discussion.  Be persistent.

On this page you will find links to information pertinent to the course: 

Materials for the Class: (The text, the solutions manual, and other materials are available in the Science Learning Center.)

                    Required Text:  General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, 5^th ed.  McMurry and Castellion.  Publisher: Prentice-Hall    ISBN 0131877488

        Recommended but not required – Study Guide and Full  Solutions Manual to the text, ISBN 0131877747 The solutions manual is important to have!

Both are available at various online book sellers and the Shasta College bookstore.. 

                   You will also need a scientific calculator.  Any kind will do.  If you are buying a new one, a TI thirty something should be about $10 to $20. MAKE SURE IT DOES SCIENTIFIC NOTATION.  There is one TI thirty something that says is a scientific calculator but it does not do scientific notation.  Make sure it has a button that  has EE on it or above it.   I highly recommend that you avoid a TI89.

                    You will also need a PRS cricket available at the Shasta College Bookstore and the Science Learning Center

                    Finally you will need a pair of safety goggles which are available at the Science Learning Center

To view all of my documents you will need the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe. It is free. Get Acrobat Reader.

Here is the syllabus.  Read it!! It has all the information about the course including schedules, attendance policy and grading policy.

I use an online program called Shasta College online for this class.  All students will need to use it also for access to all my notes for the course, to complete your homework assignments, take quizzes and to generally function in the course.  When you enroll in the course, you automatically get access to Shasta College online.

For information on how to access the Shasta College online portion of this course for the Fall 2010 term, please select the following link: http://onlineaccess.shastacollege.edu/   If this link does not work, go to the Shasta College homepage and click on Shasta College Online .  These will be available starting August 16.
