Dear class,
Announcement #1: Chem 10 Boot Camp starts tomorrow! It is free and is led by a Chem 10 faculty member and also a student leader. You'll do practice problems together. Students say it is fun! It will be from 1pm to 4:30pm in Sci 157. If you are planning to attend, please click on this link to RSVP because space might be limited! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13AZMrr2ZZyGsqAjH0-tykFU9txuxqmdXa8tPlff6TxM/viewform?usp=send_form
Announcement #2: I'm excited to share with you that the SI times have been finalized. There are SIX different SI times that you can feel free to attend (more details below)! All of the Chem 10 instructors are basically covering the material in the same order, so going to any of these six sessions will be beneficial to you (going to the one Carlos leads will probably be the most beneficial since Carlos is sitting in on our lectures with us this semester, so he'll know exactly how I do the problems in class!). The times are listed below. The full schedule can be accessed at: http://www.smc.edu/AcademicPrograms/supplemental-instruction/Pages/Spring-2016-SI-Session-Schedule.aspx
Announcement #3: ALL of this info is also present on my webpage under "Extra Teaching Assistance" so you can look up this info again in the future! I've also pasted it below for you here:
