ECCP - Getting Ready for CHEM 150
Emory College Chemistry Preparation (ECCP) prepares you to succeed in CHEM 150: Structure and Properties. Think of the ECCP as a free chemistry bootcamp– an opportunity to drill some of your high school chemistry skills before the first day of class.
You'll access ECCP assignments through an online platform called Aktiv. Three percent of your final grade in CHEM 150 will be based on your completion of the ECCP. Don’t worry – that doesn’t mean you have to get everything right on the first try! The goal of the ECCP is to build your confidence, so every question allows multiple attempts.
Because the ECCP is about refreshing your personal chemistry knowledge, it is an independent assignment. Completing any portion of the ECCP with the help of another person is a violation of Emory's Honor Code. You are free to use textbooks or resources to refresh yourself on topics in order to answer the questions. (Here is a helpful free resource to consider!) Most importantly, completing the ECCP on your own helps prepare you for success!
