Mailing List:	chem322@maul.chem.nd.edu
Texts:	Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, by Donald A. McQuarrie and John D. Simon (required) Molecular Driving Forces, by Sarina Bromberg and Ken A. Dill (optional) Both books have been ordered by the campus bookstore.
Syllabus:	www.nd.edu/~gezelter/Teaching/322-Spring-2004/syllabus.html
Grade:	Homework (weekly):   25% Midterm 1 (Statistical Mechanics):   25% Midterm 2 (Thermodynamics):   25% Final (Cumulative):   25% Extra Credit problems are sprinkled throughout the homework assignments. These problems are more difficult than the standard problems, but are counted outside the normal grading curve to encourage collaborative solutions. It is entirely possible to improve by a full letter grade by tackling the extra credit problems.
Exams:	Midterm 1:   February 18, 2004 Midterm 2:   March 31, 2004 Final Exam:   May 6, 2004
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 322 applet web page each week.
