Formal Lab Report Guidelines

• Final Exam Scores and Final Course Grades will be available after 12pm on Monday, 06/16/08.
  - I will not post grades online. Please email me if you want to know your final exam score and final course grade.
  - Students in CHE 140 Section 01 can also pick up remaining lab reports between 12-1pm on Monday, 06/16/08.
  
  
  Have a Great Summer!

TEXTBOOKS AND OTHER REQUIRED RESOURCES

 


• Chemistry by Zumdahl and Zumdahl (7th edition), ISBN: 061852844X or 9780618528448 (front shown cover above)
  
  
  Links to online retailers for the Zumdahl 7th Edition textbook:
  
  
  • Amazon.com (new copies)   or   Amazon.com (used copies)
  • BarnesandNoble.com (new copies)   or   BarnesandNoble.com (used copies)
  • Half.com (new and used copies)
  
  
• Beginning in Spring 2008, CHE 140 will not be using a published lab manual. Instead, students must purchase a packet of laboratory experiments from the Seattle Central Community College Copy Center (BE 3105A). The packet will be available by April 2nd.
  
  
• Students will not be allowed to use programmable graphing calculators on quizzes and exams. Thus, students are required to have a basic scientific non-programmable calculator that can carry out exponential functions (indicated with an EE or EXP button) such as a TI-30Xa. (See example above). These can be purchased at the SCCC Bookstore, Target, Fred Meyer, and office supply stores such as OfficeDepot, OfficeMax, and Staples.
