Details about this class

Welcome to Prep Chem! I think this class is tons of fun and hope you will too. I am a strong believer that all students come into my classroom with knowledge that prepares them for class and as a community we discover how that knowledge relates to the course material. Strong classroom community is very important to me.  This means that class is participatory even in lectures.  

The course lecture and lab will be delivered in person on campus at the Cascade Campus in North Portland. There are no remote labs for this course. Students will work in pairs during the lab and share materials. Student's will be expected to attend a 3 hour lab on Monday evenings and 4 hours of lecture (split between 1 hour on Mondays before lab and 3 hours on Wednesdays) - times are as listed. 

The course content will be delivered in a week-by-week module approach. Each week's content will be contained within a separate module that includes: lecture activities, copies of notes from lectures, laboratory assignments, homework, quiz, any additional activity, and pre-recorded video lectures (when needed). The instructor will hold office hours during the week to support students. 

Students do not need to purchase a textbook for this course. The course will be using an OER textbook and WeBWorK homework.  These will be freely provided to all students.  An internet connection and computer will be required. 

The only required materials student need to purchase are a CH 151 lab manual and safety googles. Both can be purchased at the Cascade bookstore. There are goggles available to borrow in the laboratory that are sanitized between lab periods if students do not wish to buy their own. 

The final exam will be IN-PERSON on Monday June 10th 6:00pm-7:50pm. Please plan accordingly. 

Tentative dates for other exams during the term will be available in the course syllabus. The syllabus will be sent out to students registered for this class at least 1 week before the term begins. 

If you have any questions please contact the instructor via email.
