CD-ROM SOFTWARE

A CD-ROM, General Chemistry: Interactive, is included with your text. This CD follows your text and shows animations, video clips and sample problems to give you additional help in this course. If you are having difficulties with some of the course material (and even if you're not!) it would be worth your while to study using this CD.

If you do not have a computer with a CD-ROM drive at home, bring the CD to room 603 in the Learning Resource Center (the building to the left of the College Bookstore). The personnel there will help you to access the contents of this disk.
