Yes, it is expected that you have completed a high school chemistry course, with at least a C- grade. The other prerequisite is intermediate high school algebra. If youhave not taken high school chemistry or its equivalent, you should take Chemistry 4 before enrolling in this course.
Attendance is required in the lab.
If for some reason you miss a lab,it must be made up within one week. This can be done by attending a laboratory section other than your own. You must ask the instructor for permission to work in that section and the instructor must initial the work you do for the make-up. Quizzes will also be given during the laboratory time. See the section on grades for the point distribution.
