We will be distributing study guides for the ACS General Chemistry Cumulative Final Exam.
They are sold for $10.00 each.
The teaching professors this semester are: Dr. Msimanga, Dr. Koether, Dr. Combs - an online course, Mr. Jack Duff

If you are interested in selling these study aids, contact Chad Siniard (chad7698@earthlink.net) or Swapan Jain (jsatyens@hotmail.com).

Just a little note: Swapan and Chad went to Dr. Koether’s class on February 15 and sold all 10 study guides that they had brought with them. Students want these, so let’s move them.
