and maybe on Monday, Nov. 7. As the 2-hr exams are held outside
of class hours, the class hours may be cancelled on these days. Stay
tuned for details later in the semester.

There may be some voluntary additional lectures to cover some
material in more depth, review some math and physics, or do some
computer experiments to enhance learning. In that case, time and
place is to be announced.
• Final Grades:
– Homework performance: 40%
– Clicker questions (participation) 5%
– Average of the two-hour-exams: 30%
– Final exam: 25%

Required: Atktins & de Paula “Physical Chemistry”
Please note that reading material will be part of homework and
relevant for exams.
• Optional: James R. Barrante “Applied Mathematics for Physical
Chemistry”
Clicker Questions and PowerPoint Slides will be
posted on the course web site!
