Chemistry 36
GENERAL CHEMISTRY
Spring 2002
Course Materials
|
Text (REQUIRED):
|
Michael Munowitz's Principles of Chemistry. Available at the bookstore (if you don't have a copy from last semester). This is the only Chemistry textbook that I've found that is readable in its own right but also covers the material at a depth that is appropriate for this course. You might even enjoy doing the reading assignments with this book! |
|
Other (RECOMMENDED):
|
Thinkwell's Great Lectures in Chemistry: II -- A set of six CD-ROMs with excellent annotated lectures on all of the topics we will be covering this semester. A great study guide when you need to go over material a number of times before it "clicks" and/or a great tool to help prepare for class or lab. This is strongly recommended! |
|
Lab Manual (REQUIRED):
|
Chem 36 Lab Manual - Spring 2002 by Chem Dept. Staff. Available for purchase exlusively at the 1st floor Stockroom (A143 Cook) for a mere 15 bucks -- soon to be a major motion picture . . . |
|
Lab Notebook (REQUIRED):
|
A bound lab notebook (e.g., National #43-571) is required and may be purchased at the bookstore. |
|
Lab Breakage Card (REQUIRED):
|
You must purchase a breakage card before you will be allowed to check into your lab drawer. Please remember to bring it to each and every lab, as you will need it to check out equipment needed for the week's experiment . . . pretty handy, huh? Well, they do cost $40 (available from the friendly folks at the 1st floor stockrooom), but you will get it all back at the end of the semester IF you are careful and don't break or lose anything. |
|
Lab Safety:
|
YOU MUST WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES IN THE LAB! They are available in the bookstore -- no excuses! Note: Contact lenses are not allowed to be worn in the laboratory. Also, it is a good idea to buy a labcoat to wear to lab (also available at the bookstore or at the Med School bookstore). If you don't purchase one, please don't wear clothes that you care about to lab. |
