Details about this class
Welcome to CH221z & CH227Z
Please note that you are required to register for the linked sections of CH221Z and CH227Z that I teach; CRN 32653 (CH221Z) CRN 32654 (CH227Z). You must be able to attend both lecture and laboratory meetings to successfully complete this course.
The lab and part of the lecture will be delivered in-person and the other part of the lecture will be delivered via Zoom. Students will need to attend all sessions of the course. The in-person portion of this course will be held at the Cascade Campus in North Portland.
The lecture portion of the class will be split between Monday and Wednesday evenings. There will be one 50-minute IN-PERSON session starting at 5pm prior to the start of the IN-PERSON laboratory meeting on Monday evenings. The remaining lecture will be offered remotely via Zoom on Wednesday evenings 6-8:50pm. Students need to plan to be physically on campus from 5-9pm on Mondays and logged into zoom on Wednesdays.
Lectures will be interactive and designed to help learning and measure understanding. This information will be used to guide the speed of content and delivery methods. Therefore student participation both in person and remotely will be key to instruction. There may be videos assigned to view prior to class.
Textbook: Chemistry: An Atoms Focused Approach, 4th Ed - the same textbook which is used for CH 221Z, CH 222Z, and CH 223Z will be used for this course. You need to make sure that you have access to the Smartwork homework system with the textbook. You may wait to purchase this until the first week of class.
POGIL Workbook: You are required to buy a guided inquiry workbook from the bookstore. You will complete activities from this workbook during class.
The final exam will be IN-PERSON on Monday August 31st, 6:00pm-7:50pm. Please plan accordingly.
All other exams will be given in-person during the Monday on campus class meeting before the laboratory session. (specific dates will be available in the course syllabus at the start of the term).
If you have any questions please contact the instructor via email.

Course material will be provided on D2L and online homework is required, therefore an internet connection is required. A webcam is not required.

Wednesday class sessions will be held remotely via Zoom 6-8:50pm. Students should plan to be in attendance for the Zoom meetings each Wednesday.
