Course Information

Welcome to the web site for Dr. Hollenbeck's component of the Physical Chemistry course. Please check this page frequently during the semester for updates on everything from assignments to schedule changes. 

Information for three components of this part of the course is on-line: Lectures, Workshops, and Lab Exercises, as well as the Problem Sets. You can navigate between these anytime using the toolbar at the top of each page.

There are times when it is to your benefit to download documents and bring them to the class activity. A hyperlinked item that is referred to as a "handout", "problem set", "data sheet", or "form" is a downloadable Word document. A hyperlinked item that is referred to as "slide show" is an on-line version of the presentation made in class.
