The older assignments are still open for half-credit.  It is also possible to rework older assignments for practice, if you've already completed them.

Exam 1

TTh class:  Thursday, September 24
MWF class:  Friday, September 25

Exam 2

TTh class:  Thursday, October 29
MWF class:  Wednesday, October 28

Final Exam

Section 020 (MWF 9 am):

     Wednesday, December 9 from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Section 060 (TTh 8 am):

     Tuesday, December 8 from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM
 

     Half of the exam will be taken in part, but not totally, from the previous exams, suggested problem sets, and quizzes. The other half will be a standardized, multiple-choice American Chemical Society (ACS) exam.

     Students who must miss the scheduled exam time must notify the instructor by noon of the day of the exam, otherwise no make-up provisions will be made.

Suggested Problems

These problems will not be picked up or graded, but they will be similar to the problems on the quizzes and exams, and I would recommend working some of them.  Most of the problems are paired, with the odd-numbered problems having an answer in the back of the book, and the even-numbered problems being of a similar type, but without an answer given.

The complete suggested problem list may be found here.
