Blackboard: Class Notes, Practice Exams, etc. will be posted on SDSU's Blackboard site.

Prerequisite: Chemistry 365

Lectures: The course is divided into four sections, and the lecture topics are listed in the course syllabus.  The lecture will follow the text;  however, students are not responsible for all material presented in the text.  Students are responsible for all material presented during lecture and any material in the text that an instructor asks them to know.                                                           

Exams and Grading: Four Exams will be given at the times and dates shown in the syllabus. These will be a mixture of multiple choice and short answer questions. Sample exam questions will be posted on Blackboard. Each exam will cover the preceding section of the course only and each will count for 25% of your final grade. No allowance will be made for missing any of the four exams except under compelling and documented reasons (e.g. illness, death in your immediate family, etc.). If you miss an exam for such a reason you must contact the lecturer administering the exam as soon as possible to make alternate arrangements.

In order to pass this course you must receive an average of at least 50% on the four exams.

We will use the following Grade Scale:
