Problem-Solving Sessions I have set aside an hour each week (Thursdays at 4:00) for a Problem-Solving Session. Location: CB 385 The Problem-Solving Sessions are optional. I intend to bring in a few sample problems that can be solved by students working in small groups. Problems and questions posed by students will also be addressed. The first session will occur on Thursday, January 12.

If You Are Taking Chemistry 354 (Organic Chemistry Laboratory I) n All sections of Chemistry 354 will meet this week. n If you do not attend the first class meeting, your place will be given away to a person who is on the waiting list. n If you are on the waiting list, you must come to class in order to claim a place in the class. n You must take and pass the mandatory organic chemistry laboratory safety quiz.

Resubmitting an Examination As a special policy, I will not post answer keys immediately after each examination. Instead, I will allow each student an opportunity to correct his or her examination based on a review of lecture notes and the textbook Students may earn up to 20% of the “missing” points by correcting their examinations and resubmitting them. Once the deadline has passed, I will post the answer key for everyone to use.
