Cluster 1: MAC and ECE (Section B/E/F)
Tuesday 5-6 PM
SEC A 116 A (55 students)
SEC A 124 A (55 students)

Cluster 2: Bio and Life Science (Section C/D)
Wednesday 5-6 PM
C-109 (80 students)

Cluster 3: Health Science (Section J/K/L)
Thursday 5-6 PM
CTC-102 (80 students)
CTC-103 (40 students)

Cluster 4: Psychology (Section G/H/I) 
Friday 3:30-4:30

SEC C 201 A (80 students)

Also, the lecture slide for today has been uploaded and the new Chem 7 homework problems prescribed for all sections have been pasted into the problem set tab. Check it out. Please don’t forget that practice makes perfect in this class

Hi Guys,

Okay. The head of Chem 7 indicated today that student charters prohibits instructors from holding any classroom activities on Mondays and Fridays from 4:00PM-6:00PM. Accordingly, this news will rule out the recitation that most folks thought they could make (i.e. M after 4). Also, Tuesday 9:30AM-10:30AM there are no rooms available so that tidbit rules out two of the three requested time I have received. In short, it is back to the drawing board to work this out.

Emman and Angelo, I need to ask you again to come up with recitation times for your sections and get back to me ASAP. From what I have been told by the Chem 7 head, Wednesday afternoon between 4-6 would be doable from a room perspective (again, its’ an hour recitation). Other days that have open rooms are T/Th from 4:00PM and onward. The last option is a recitation hour from 6PM-7PM on either T/W/Th.

Thank you.

Angelo and Emman, may I ask each of you to please bring with you tomorrow two to three time slots that your respective groups (majors) can attend a one hour Chem 7 recitation period (as I mentioned in class). The Chem 7 instructors need to reserve classrooms this week, and I need your input ASAP. Thank you.

To the rest of the gang out there, please email me the information that I requested, bring your index cards tomorrow, and make sure you read what has been assigned. Thank you!
