My chemistry 085 course is web-enhanced which means that all of the notes and assignments are available on the web. If you are registered for the class, you will be able to access the site with a username and password which are typically your social security number and PIN. Most of the assignments are multiple choice; the Anlon system provides immediate grading and permits you to retake the assignment as many times as you wish. Only the exams and labs count towards the final grade so there is no penalty for failing. I encourage everyone to make full use of the resources. Since the material is already online I have limited notes on this site.
