- Chemistry is a hard subject that requires a lot of work: First off, you are capable of being successful in this class if you put in the work. I am happy to help you the whole semester and beyond but you have to put in the time and effort. There are lots of homework, quizzes, tests, lab write-ups, etc. I’m not trying to deter you from taking my class but I want to make sure you aren’t surprised when you get here. I know you are capable and can be successful!
- Extra Credit Opportunity: Quiz #0 (LINK) week after class starts. You can earn extra credit if you complete the quiz on or before the first day of class. If you are on the waitlist I will give you access to Canvas the first day of class.
- Returning students (and possibly others): If it’s been a while since you took an algebra class or math class SIGN UP FOR CHEM501 (math for chemistry).You will want to freshen up on your math so it’s not so hard when you get here. Also practice exponents with your calculator!
- If you need assistance with resources, visit Solano College Student Services: I want you all to you succeed. But that’s not up to me, it’s up to you. I’m here to help you achieve that and I’ll assist as much as I can. If you cannot access these resources let me know and I can help direct you. There may be food, WiFi cards, Chromebooks to borrow, etc.
- People on the waitlist: I don’t get add codes until the first day of class and you must attend the first class session to get an add code. I can take ~35 students total for each section. If you are above #7 on the waitlist at the time the class starts, you probably won’t have a good chance to get in. If you need this class, I strongly recommend signing up for another class or my other section. Remember to check your personal and school emails regularly and enroll in the class if you are on the waitlist and a spot opens up or else you will be taken off the waitlist.
- Class Materials: We will need these the first day of class. See the syllabus.
Looking forward to meeting all of you!
