Course Description
Course Readings
| Group | Title | Author | ISBN |
|---|---|---|---|
| Required | Chemistry, a Molecular Approach, 6th Edition |
via the inclusive access e-book and Mastering by Pearson through Blackboard.
This book was carefully selected due to how well it is written and for how many excellent on-line resources it has, including videos by the Author. Admittedly it takes way too many 'clicks' to get to the book, but it is worth it. I highly recommend using this excellent resource, as it will help with your journey through second semester chemistry.
The course readings are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances, research developments, current events, and/or to ensure better learning.
