All students are required to take both Chemistry and Math Placement tests. For lecture questions, email coord105@chemmail.usc.edu. This course carries GE credit but it is intended for a specific group of students rather than a general student audience. It is part of the curriculum for majors and pre-professional students. To be added to the waitlist, please email Dr. Skibo (skibo@usc.edu) with your USC ID number, 105a, and all the lab times (not section numbers) that you are interested in.
