In this semester we cover McQuarrie et al., chapters 1 through 14. A PDF with the detailed (tentative) schedule of topics that will be covered in each MWF and TR lecture, discussion, prelab lecture, and lab can be downloaded here: Detailed Schedule.
The requried problems assigned for each chapter will be listed below. While these will not be collected, these problems will prepare you for the assessments in the course (quizzes and final exam). You are required to solve these problems in your course notebook.

Here is the schedule of office hours for the lecture/discussion portion of CH101.
Office hours are optional sessions for you to get help with the course. You may attend any of these sessions that you wish; no appointment is necessary. Please Note: all CH101 office hours will take place in SCI 103A (the room across the hall from the SCI 109 lecture hall).
The laboratory syllabus and schedule is here.
Office hours for the lab portion of CH101 are optional sessions for you to get help with the lab material. You may attend any of these sessions that you wish; no appointment is necessary. Please Note: all office hours for the lab portion of CH101 will take place in SCI 270D.
