HONOR CODE: Policy adopted by the faculty of the Department of Chemistry on Sept. 9,
1977:
“Since all graded work (including homework to be collected, quizzes, papers, mid-term
examinations, final examinations, research proposals, laboratory results and reports, etc.)
may be used in the determination of academic progress, no collaboration on this work is
permitted unless the instructor explicitly indicates that some specific degree of collaboration
is allowed. This statement is not intended to discourage students from studying together or
working together on assignments which are not to be collected.”

CLASS SCHEDULE: Below is a tentative class schedule for the semester. You should note
that this schedule is subject to change; any changes will be announced ahead of time in class.
The specific reading assignments for each lecture will be posted on Sakai under the
“Assignments” tab well before each scheduled lecture.
