Chemistry Remote Placement Updates for Spring 2021

 

The alternate placement criteria that we are using for CHEM131 has not changed.  Since our CPT will be suspended indefinitely, we requested that the Banner pre-requisite coding be changed to allow students to register according to our temporary alternate criteria.  Pam did the recoding and hopefully this will reduce the number of overrides necessary for CHEM131 registration.    

 

And some other updates: 

 

·         The remote placement information for CHEM131 was recently updated on the Assessment Center webpage (the RV Chemistry Dept page also links to the Assessment center page).  We continue to encourage students that meet our alternate placement criteria to complete the low-cost ALEKS CHEM131 Preparation course module (I believe it is still $35 for 11-wk access; $25 for 6-wk access).

·         An updated pdf document of the CHEM131 remote alternate placement is attached.

 

·         Virginia Miller will be hosting ALEKS information sessions in the next 3 weeks.  There is a registration link on the RV Chemistry page and we have updated the Chemistry@montgomerycollege.edu Automatic response to include this info.

·         We still have some ALEKS course codes that can be distributed to students at no cost.  These would be for students that have limited to no chemistry background and meet the minimum MATH pre-req for CHEM131 and choose the ALEKS preparation option instead of CHEM099 or CHEM131+031.  Refer students to chemistry@montgomerycollege.edu

 

Spring 2021 Chemistry course offerings:

·         There are seven sections of CHEM131 + CHEM031 Exploration on the Spring schedule.

 

·         There are only 2 sections of CHEM099 on the Spring schedule (one POT 1 section and one POT 2 section).

 

·         We also have POT 2 and POT 3 courses where students can complete the following sequences: 

 

o   CHEM099 + CHEM131

o   CHEM131 + CHEM132

o   CHEM131 + CHEM150

o   CHEM203 + CHEM204

 

Please forward to others as needed and let me know of any questions.

Happy Registration Days!

Thanks,
