Details about this class

Thank you for your interest in this course!

This section of CH151 is hybrid and flipped. Hybrid means that the course is part online and part on-campus. Flipped means you will view and study the online lectures before we meet each week, then we’ll spend our on-campus time working on activities and experiments that will solidify your learning.

Course content will be presented in D2L through interactive videos that you must watch on your own time. 

Two-hours of lecture per week are scheduled at the Rock Creek Campus in Building 7 for practicing course material and working in small groups. (Thurdays 6:00 to 7:50pm).

Students will need to attend the lab sections in person (Tuesdays 6:00 – 8:50pm). There are no remote labs for this course. During the lab sessions, you will get hands-on experience practicing the concepts learned in the lecture to help you successfully complete the weekly lab reports.

You must be able to attend both lecture and laboratory in-person at the Rock Creek Campus in order to register for the course.

Two exams (1 midterm exam and a final exam) will be given in person on campus during our regularly scheduled in-person sessions.

Homework will be completed using the Modified Mastering Chemistry (MMC) platform. Temporary access to the MMC platform, which includes an electronic copy of the text, will be provided for the first two weeks while you determine the best purchase option for you. Please wait until after the first day of class to purchase anything. The access code for MMC that includes an electronic copy of the textbook can be purchased directly from the publisher at a lower price than from the bookstore. I will provide additional information on the first day of class. 

Please do not purchase any Modified Mastering Chemistry access codes online (from Amazon or other online sources). These codes will not allow you to register for this PCC CH 151 course.
