Separate lecture and laboratory sections--Although the laboratory and lecture sections of CHEM 1111, 1112, 1203, 1204, 1251, 1252, 2131 and 2132 are taught as separate courses, it is strongly recommended that students take the appropriate laboratory concurrently with the lecture. Students with severe scheduling problems or students with course programs that do not require the laboratory may take the lecture without the laboratory.
