Problem solving, demonstrations, and lecture will be used as needed or appropriate. A major research paper involving research in the chemical literature will be completed. Finally, you must practice .
Practice means reviewing the material after class and doing the required assignments.
It is only through working problems that you can fully master the art of problem solving. Lecture will involve significant amounts of interactive activities which will require your participation. Other reasons may be considered upon request. It is your responsibility to inform and make arrangements with the instructor if you know ahead of time that you will be absent otherwise the absence will be unexcused. If you miss class or lab due to illness, you are responsible for contacting the instructor as soon as you are able so that arrangements can be made.
