First class assignment How many golf balls will fit in this room? You have 8 minutes.
Business I • Class meetings: • Lecture MWF here • Lab once a week in Physical Sciences Bldg. • Recitation once a week in Physical Sci. Bldg. • NO LABS or RECITATIONS this week- they start Monday • Class Rules- Syllabus (go over on Friday)
Business II Classroom Rules • Be here every single day • Be here on time • Don’t sit in back • Don’t talk when I’m talking • Don’t let me talk when you’re talking • It’s ok to get up and wander
Business III • Homework: • OWL Electronic Homework System • First assignments due in one week • Gateway Quizzes • First 20 elements • Tables of common ions
How to do well • Sit in front • Read text chapter before and after covering • Do homework early and often • Avail yourself of help: • me • chemistry tutors (times given next week) • Keep up with material
To Begin • Why is chemistry hard?
To Begin • Why is chemistry hard? • Atoms are really small. • About 100 types of atoms (each a chemical element). • Matter is made of atoms, mostly connected together in molecules and larger structures- infinite variety of combinations.
