Before Fall 2009, This course used to be known as CHE 107; it may still be referred to as such on some materials. The prerequisite for this course is (CHE 170 with a grade of C or better) and (College Algebra with C or better). If you do not meet this, you should drop the course! You will need to remember a lot of the material from CHE 170; we will only review some of it that you will need to be successful in this course. You will need a lot of study time for this class – an average of eight hours a week! Learning is NOT a passive activity! Please utilize the services on our campus like the Math Lab’s free tutoring. You may think the homework assigned is excessive, but this material cannot be learned without adequate practice and most students spend an average of 40 hours on the homework over the semester (about 2.5 hours per week). A few notes….

One last thought…. First let’s watch a video…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1HI_I5nqhk Now, after watching this brief video are you ready to compete? No! And so it is with chemistry. You can not expect yourself to do well on exams if you only watch your instructor do the work. Just like with sports, to do well, practice time must be spent!
