Tutors Needed!

Attention former Students. The tutoring center is in dire need of Chemistry Tutors. Please contact the tutoring center at the college for more information.

Sad News

I just learned that my PhD advisor, Dr. Robert W. Lenz, passed away a few days ago at the age of 88 due to complications from Leukemia.

He was a great professor and a great person.

Fall of 2010 Chemistry

Welcome to my Chemistry Blog.

Chem C101 Students: Please note that we are using Hein and Arena Lecture Text and the Hein Lab text. This has been changed from last year as the lab manual was getting way outdated. Note: The class is now full. See comment below about waiting list. ISBN Numbers are forthcoming

Chem C111 Students: The textbooks are the same as last year's: Brown LeMay and Bursten

Lecture Text:
0136006175 (ISBN 10)
978013006176 (ISBN 13)

Lab Text
0136002854 (ISBN 10)
9780136002857 (ISBN 13)



All classes: you may use an older edition of the book and/or lab manual, but you will need to cross-reference experiments. Pay attention to the titles of the experiments when I hand out the syllabus.

Chem C111 Waitlisters: The waitlist is at 13 students. I promise that we will get you into the class, but you may need to take the lab at another time (Monday or Wednesday morning are possibilities)

Tomorrow is it!

I will be rolling all grades to history Wednesday morning May 26th. If you are missing anything, turn it in by 5 pm tomorrow Tuesday May 25th at the switchboard, or email me any reports.
