coffee shop or exit into the green courtyard to enter
Chemistry Bldg.)
** Midterm Exam 2 of Section 2 will take place

*** Midterm Exam 3 of Section 2 will take place

Notes:
- Topics and chapters covered each week might deviate
from the above lecture schedule, depending on progress in class.
-
Exam dates should be firm, but homework due dates/times
may be extended.
-
Homework is usually due early morning (3 a.m.) on Fridays
(for some, this means very late on Thursdays). The awkward time
is another incentive not to wait with homework submission
until the last minute. No excuses will be granted
for internet-related difficulties during the last three hours
before the due date and time.
