Safety glasses must be worn by all students in the laboratory at all times.  You will not be allowed into the laboratory unless you have safety glasses to protect your most precious sense, your eyesight.  You must check out of your lab (check all contents of your lab drawer) at the end of the course (or if you drop the course, before the end).  Failure to do so may result in a charge for equipment not checked in and for your technique grade you will receive zero points.

  

NOTE: Chem. 1A and 1AL/1AC may not be taken P/NP by science and engineering majors because these courses are required in preparation for the major. 

 

REQUIRED LAB FEE:  A non-refundable $32.00 Lab Fee is Required for this Course.  It will be charged to your BARC account upon confirmation of your enrollment.

 

Studying for Chemistry 1A

         This is not necessarily a difficult course, but most students find that they have to spend time studying to understand the material.  It is important to keep up with the schedule.  Read the chapter as scheduled.  As you read the chapter, stop and work all the exercises as they appear in the text.  This is the only way to be sure you understand the material as you proceed through the chapter.  After you have finished the chapter, work all the assigned problems given below.  This is a minimum list of problems that all students should do.  The solutions manual, available in the bookstore, has the answers to the problems.  Never look at the answers first. Always try to do the problems by reading and reviewing the material in the text.

         Learning to solve Chemistry problems requires you to work the problems yourself.  Watching others (e.g. instructors, tutors or other students) work problems or reading the solutions in the solution manual is no substitute for working them yourself.  You must go through the reasoning process yourself until you understand each type of problem.  Sufficient practice is important.  If you need more practice solving problems, do other problems in addition to those assigned.
