Welcome to my Chemistry 221Z course details page. I hope you are as eager as I am to get started in the class! I love teaching chemistry and thinking about how the study of matter helps us understand everything around us better and I'm hoping by the end of the term you'll share my enthusiasm.
Student's will be expected to attend two 2-hour lectures each week and the linked 3 hour lab (CRN 45244) in person each week. Lectures will be interactive and designed to help learning and measure understanding. This information will be used to guide the speed of content and delivery methods. Therefore student participation will be key to instruction.

You need to make sure that you have access to the Smartwork homework system with the textbook. You may wait to purchase this until the first week of class.
