The reading assignments will be the basis of the concept question (CQ)
for each lecture. You will need to do
the assigned reading in order to answer the CQ for that lecture. The CQ will be provided to you in an e-mail
with a link to the question and a form to fill out on-line.
Reading will be assigned from the following three sources:
Chemistry; Principles, Patterns, and Applications (Averill), by Bruce Averill and Patricia Eldredge,
published
by FlatWorld Knowledge Available free on-line [Averill

Prof.
August Witt was the instructor in charge of 3.091 for over 20 years during
his 40 year MIT career. He won many teaching
awards. These include the Amar Bose
Award in 1990 and he was elected a MacVicar Faculty
Fellow in in 1993 which is MIT’s highest teaching award. His research concerned crystal growth and
the effects of microgravity on those growth processes. He was internationally
recognized for his research and won NASA’s outstanding Scientific Achievement
Award in 1976 for his work on SkyLab. |
