| Background
CHM 111 is presented in two distinct,
but related parts:
-
The lecture
-
The laboratory.
This Course Guide
describes in detail the requirements of the lecture portion
of CHM 111 and has been designed by your instructors to facilitate
your unit-by-unit progress towards fulfilling these requirements.
Note: for the laboratory requirements of this course, refer
to the CHM 111 Laboratory Guide. You need to download the
CHM 111 Laboratory Guide

In order to use this Course
Guide effectively, it is important that you understand
the organization of materials in Units 0 through 9 presented on
this overview page. Please read the information on this page carefully, then go to Unit 0 for detailed instructions on starting this course. [Top]
Goals and Objectives:
Goals
are broad statements of categories of chemical information. Objectives
describe

of a unit are described in this way to assist you in making connections
between concepts and problem-solving techniques presented in the text,
video lectures and homework help messages in Blackboard Discussion Forums.[Top]
