CHEM 1N Information—Summer 2009

CHEM 1N syllabus (subject to updates)

 

If you have not been able to enroll in the class due to space limitations, I suggest that you come to lab sections that fit your schedule the 1st two class meetings.  If you find an open spot in lab, you may be able to add the course.  The instructor (R. Roland) must authorize the add.  I’d like to do anything I can to help you get into the course!

 

SWITCHING LABS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU!!!  Sorry for any inconvenience.

 

Labs start June22—DO NOT MISS THE 1st DAY OR YOU MIGHT BE DROPPED.
