Professor Cima’s presentation at the Core Blitz can be found at 3.091 Core Blitz
Lectures will be held in Room 10-250 at 11 am on a MWF
format. Please see the syllabus for the
exact dates (Syllabus
link). Lectures can be found on MIT Cable. 3.091 lectures are large. We have learned over the years that we have
to adhere to a strict code of conduct in the lecture room so that everyone can
benefit from the lecture. No eating or
drinking will be permitted in 10-250 during lecture. Talking is also not permitted unless you are
responding to a question from the lecturer.
If you have a question, raise your hand and Prof. Cima will try and get
to it. TAs have
been asked to make him aware of any raised hands. Cell phones must be set to silent mode during
the lecture. If you need to eat, drink,
talk, or have your cell phone on, you are welcome to use the MIT cable
feed.
Sections meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. See
separate listing for times, instructors, and locations (Recitations).
Students have been assigned to recitation sections by the
Registrar. If a student feels that extenuating circumstances make it necessary
to change to another recitation section, he/she must meet with the subject
administrator Kerri Mills in Room 10-110.
Sections will be limited to 20 students.
Know the recitation number that you
are assigned to and the name of your recitation instructor.
Each registered student will receive an e-mail two days
before each lecture. This e-mail will
contain a link to a single concept question (CQ). The CQ can be answered by reference to the
reading assignment for the corresponding lecture. The CQ will require each student to also fill
out his/her name, e-mail address, recitation number, and provide an answer by
2:00am on the day of the lecture. The
point of the CQs is to help the staff understand how well the class understands
the reading assignment and to help you keep pace throughout the semester. Thus, collaboration with your classmates
when answering a CQ is not authorized.
We want to measure your individual understanding of the material.
Homework is assigned weekly and is distributed along with
model solutions in recitation. One week later students will take a 10-minute
quiz in recitation based on the subject matter of the homework.
Reading will be assigned from three sources:
Chemistry; Principles, Patterns, and Applications (Averill), by Bruce Averill and Patricia Eldredge, published by FlatWorld Knowledge Available free on line Averill

MIT has policies and procedures on academic honesty and they
will be strictly enforced in 3.091.
Please make sure you read and understand these policies (Academic Honesty). This page states, “If you find yourself tempted to cheat, stop;
take a deep breath, and think of the big picture. Cheating, plagiarism,
unauthorized collaboration, and other forms of academic dishonesty are
considered serious offenses for which disciplinary penalties can be imposed.”
