Other: Homework assignments are given out in class (on Fridays) and are posted to the class web page. They are due in class on the following Friday, unless otherwise noted (20% deduction for each day late). You may consult with fellow students when working on your problem sets. However, do not discuss a problem with others until you have spent at least one hour working at the problem on your own. Do not copy or paraphrase any one else's work (including the solution manual). Suspected violations will be handled in accordance with the Academic Code of Honor.
Homework: I'll be posting the problem sets on the problem set web page each week.
Applets: I'll be posting links to the demonstration applets we use in class on the Chem 321 applet web page each week.
