Highly recommended:
Watch and take notes from the following YouTube "Pre-lab Lecture" by Professor Mavros:

(Note: Professor Mavros used a slightly different computational program in this video (Gaussian), but the ideas are consistent with the program you will be using in lab this semester--GAMESS.)
(Your instructor may use this video as the only pre-lab content discussing the theory behind this lab.)
