The course lecture will be delivered remotely via zoom one evening. Attendance via zoom is expected and participation is required. The other evening of class will consist of a one hour in person lecture and a 3 hour in person lab. This will take place on campus at the Cascade Campus in North Portland.  Students will need to attend these sections in person.  

Student's will be expected to attend a 3 hour lab in person each week and 4-hours of lectures 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.  

Textbook: Chemistry: An Atoms Focused Approach, 3rd Ed - the same textbook which is used for CH 221, CH 222, and CH 223 will be used for this course. 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.

Since the class content will be delivered via D2L and online homework is required, an internet connection is required. A webcam is not required.  You will be expected to have a microphone during the remote section of the course to communicate with the class. And you will need to have access to a computer during the class session so that you can download and complete worksheets during the class. 

Homework will be completed using Norton Smartwork. Students will need to purchase access to this platform. Please wait for the syllabus or talk to the instructor before purchasing.
