 Selected problems from the text will be assigned as homework, but will not be graded. It is extremely important that you work all of the assigned problems. Active knowledge of the material covered in the problems will ensure that you will be able to work most of the problems on the exams. Also, many of the recitation quizze problems will be taken directly from the asigned problem sets.

 No make-up exams will be given. If you must miss an exam, and you have an acceptable excuse, a grade for that exam will be calculated based upon your performance on the other exams. Acceptable excuses include unavoidable problems such as illness, injury in an accident, etc. You cannot, however, pass the course without passing the final exam, which is comprehensive! No notes, books, calculators, computers, or models will be allowed during the exams.

 

Chemistry 3311 (200) follows all CU policies regarding students with disability and religious issues. See the statement of policies on these issues for our class.

Note: You will find lots of old hour exams at the Courses Archive, by following links to classes from years past.
