Lectures: T/Th, 11:40 am to 1:15 pm in Earth & Marine Sciences,
Room B210
(No class on Tuesday, April 24th)
Office Hours: Wednesdays 1:15 to 2:15 pm, PSB 258. After class also
works well. Other times can be arranged.
Prerequisite: Inorganic Chemistry (Chem 151A)
Grading Scheme:
Problem Set 1 (due Tuesday, May 1st) 10%
Midterm Exam (Tuesday, May 8th, in class) 25%
Essay or Presentation (due Tuesday, May 29th) 30%
Problem Set 2 (due Thursday, May 31st) 10%
Final Exam (Thursday, June 7th, in class) 25%
Exams: All exams
are closed-book and no calculators are allowed. Model sets are ok. Each exam
emphasizes the topics covered in lecture, sections of the textbook and problem
sets. The final exam is cumulative but contains choice: answer ~ 4 of 6 (mostly
themed) questions.
Problem Sets: There
will be 2 homework assignments during the quarter and will consist of ~ 8
problems each. They are designed to help comprehend the lecture material,
get feedback on problem solving and prepare for the exams. Optional practice
problems will also be given but are not handed in. Solutions for both will
be posted on the 151B website.
Lecture Notes: All notes will be written on the blackboard. The exams are based primarily on the lecture notes and discussion therein, and the problem sets. Feel free to ask questions during class, it only helps everybody! Announcements and any handouts will be placed on the 151B web site.
