Course Outline - Lectures, Lab Experiments, Exam, and related Assignments
Remarks:
We will exercise appropriate flexibility throughout the semester after our class discussions, to enable all of us to maximize learning during each class meetings (lecture, lab, and discussions).
We may substitute/change/add/drop subtopics, experiments, assignments, quizzes, examinations, and other course-related activities. We will pre-announce any changes in the assignment due dates or dates for examinations listed in the attached lecture and laboratory schedule. In all cases, changes in the dates, format, chapters, subtopics, content for exams and other deadlines will be discussed and reconfirmed in class.
Thank you all in advance for your cooperation and team support in shaping our Fundamentals of Chemistry (CHM 110) course into a very meaningful learning and enjoyable experience for all of us.
Once again, all the best to each and every one of you.
