The CRC will open for the Fall 2009 term with a partial schedule on Tuesday, September 8. Additional hours will be added to fill out the schedule. Check back here for updates. An up-to-date schedule is also posted on the door of LD 201.
Monday 10:30 AM - 7:30 PM Tuesday 10:30 AM - 3:30 PM, 5:00 PM - 8:30 PM Wednesday 10:30 AM - 7:30 PM Thursday 10:30 AM - 3:30 PM, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM Friday 10:30 - 1:30
The Chemistry Resource Center (CRC), located in LD 201, provides students with an opportunity to get additional help in their chemistry courses. The Center’s hours vary somewhat term to term, but it is generally open 40-45 hours during the week (including some evening hours) during the fall and spring semesters, with a limited number of summer hours. Help is free and is available on a drop-in basis.
The CRC is staffed by a core group of workers who are hired specifically to provide assistance to chemistry students. Graduate students, part-time instructors and advanced undergraduates also work in the resource center providing help on topics from stoichiometry to laboratory data analysis. In addition to one-on-one and small group assistance with homework problems, computers are available for drill and practice if students want to work on their own. The staff can also help troubleshoot online assignments (How do I login?) and provide basic help with common chemistry software (How do I change the scale on the y-axis? How do I use ChemDraw to make structures for my lab report?).
The CRC’s target audience is students enrolled in classes at the introductory levels, with particular emphasis on serving students in C100, C101, C105, C106, C110, C115, C121, C125, and C126. Many students in “sophomore” organic chemistry (C341, C342, C343, and C344) also make use of the facility.
