Announcements:
I just updated the grades (June 13), to include the final and your grade for the semester. If you see any discrepencies, please let me know.
There were some really excellent scores on the final - great job.
The whale is still in Marina del Rey. Since you don't need to study for chemistry, why don't you go see it? It has been between the end of the jetty on the north side of the marina and the breakwater. If you walk to the end of the jetty you will be within 50 feet of the whale.
Grades:

Course Policies:
Chemistry 1a is a rigorous course for science majors. A background in chemistry plus good math skills are necessary to succeed in this course. Students who successfully complete this course need good study skills and need to be motivated to do the homework and study the material. A minimum of 10 hours of study time is per week is necessary to succeed.
Students are expected to attend every lecture and every lab session. With few exceptions, missed labs can not be made up. Students need to be respectful of other students at all times.
Syllabus:

Companion Website for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
This website has the power point lecture provided by the publisher, from which the ones used in lecture have been extracted. This website also has chapter reviews, self-quizzes, and additional supportive material for each chapter.
Wikipedia
While some question the authority of Wikipedia, I find it very useful for finding information about chemicals, including structure, physical properties, etc.
