Please see http://undergrad.chem.wsu.edu/fall-2020-proctoring/ for information concerning WSU’s selection of ProctorU for fall 2020 remote proctoring. Students do not pay for proctoring via ProctorU.

Update August 31, 2020

All Chem 101, 102, 103, 105, and 106 TA and tutor office hours are linked on the rightmost menu.

Update August 10, 2020

Chem 101, 102, 105, and 106 students,
With the move to online, we are adjusting the format of our tutorial/lab schedule to allow you to meet with your teaching assistants in Zoom in smaller groups. We hope that these smaller groups will make you comfortable asking questions. It will work like this: if you are in Chem 105 lab section 8 that meets 10:50 to 2:40 pm each Tuesday – one half of the lab will meet by Zoom in the first hour and the other one half of the lab will meet by Zoom in the second hour. Your TA will schedule this with you on the first week of class. These meetings are mandatory and include a weekly quiz. If you can meet at this time (it is not in conflict with any of your classes) then you don’t need to do anything. If with the move to online, you can’t meet during your currently lab time, please move to a different section. We have increased the enrollment and waitlist limit in all lab sections.

• Again, if you can attend a one-hour Zoom meeting in your currently scheduled lab time you’re all set, and you don’t need to do anything else. If you can’t, please move to a different section – even if you go on the waitlist.

Please note that all lab sections in chem 101, 102, 105, or 106 that were scheduled for three hours beginning at 7:50 am will now meet from 9:00 to 11:40 am.

• You may also be required to attend regular synchronous class lecture meetings during the scheduled class time.

Full details will be provided in the course syllabus that will be available on August 10 on Blackboard for Chem 101 and 106 (http://learn.wsu.edu) or Canvas for Chem 102 and 105 (http://canvas.wsu.edu)
