ECCP - Your Personal Chemistry Tutor

Emory College Chemistry Preparation (ECCP) prepares you to succeed in CHEM 150: Structure and Properties. The driving force behind the ECCP is ALEKS, an artificial intelligence-based teaching tool.

Aleks will assess your chemistry knowledge and only teach you information that meets the following criteria:

You don’t already know how to do it, and
You are ready to learn it based on what you already know.

Your work with ALEKS will account for 3% of your final grade in CHEM 150. That means that once you’ve learned everything ALEKS says you need to know in “pie chart learning mode”, you’ve aced your first assignment! If you don’t complete the ECCP, you’ll start CHEM 150 with a maximum grade of 97%.

TIPS FOR SUCCEEDING WITH ECCP

Begin at least three weeks before the start of classes.
Never click "I don't know" unless you truly have no idea how to approach a problem. Otherwise, ALEKS might make you review unnecessary information.
Everyone's path through the ECCP will be different. Focus on what you need to know and don't worry about your classmates.
Completing any portion of the ECCP with outside help or completing any portion of the ECCP for someone else is a violation of the Emory Honor Code.
