Chemistry 122-02 -- General Chemistry II (Spring 2000)

Course Calendar

This is an approximate schedule of when we will cover various topics over the course of the semester. I fully expect that the actual schedule will vary from this one in order to accommodate greater coverage of topics where you have greater interest or greater difficulty than I have anticipated. Clearly, this will affect when you should be ready to discuss what material. To minimize the problems that can cause, I will discuss changes to this calendar in class as they arise, and you should make an effort to ask me if you have ANY questions about what material we will be covering at what time.

Special note about this html version of the course calendar: This is a "live" document in the sense that I will update it frequently with new information on scheduling, homework assignments, etc. It will serve you best if you do not treat it as a static entity.
