Summer Break!
It’s almost that time! This year, FDTC’s summer break is:
- Monday June 29th – Monday July 6th
CHM 100 students: Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 7/7/09. I will give back Test #2 then. I have finished grading Test #2, and the grades are posted on [Desire2Learn].
CHM 111 students: After the test on Friday 6/26/09, our next meeting will be on Tuesday 7/7/09. I will give back Test #1 then. I will grade Test #1 on Friday afternoon and post the grades on [Desire2Learn] sometime Friday evening.
Update: 6/26/09 12:30 PM: CHM 111 Test #1 grades have now been posted on [Desire2Learn] , so now you can stop waiting to get your grades and start enjoying the break!]
Enjoy the break!

CHM 111: Updated study guides available
I noticed yesterday morning that the study guides previously posted for CHM 111 were outdated. We’ve recently changed editions ofour textbook, and the study guides previously posted referred to practice problems in the old edition. I have uploaded study guides for the new edition, and you can get them from [the study guide page].
Or, use the direct links below to get the updated study guides for chapters 10 and 11:
