First of all, make sure you are in the right place. This is Oxnard College, Ca, USA

My name is Yong C. Ma, one of the chemistry professors in science department. I teach general chemistry I ( chem101 ), general chemistry II ( chem 102 ), and elementary organic & bio-chemistry ( chem 100B ).

"Learning chemistry requires both the assimilation of many concepts and the development of analytical skills . . . We hope that as you advance in your study of chemistry, you will share with us some of the enthusiasm, excitement, and appreciation. We also hope that you will come to realize the importance of chemistry in your everyday life."---Chemistry: the central science, 7th ed.

For those of you who are scared by now, please leave the room before get hurt. If you still want to take my classes, please "bookmark" this page because you will come back again and again.

From this page, you can look up my education background and my teaching experience. You can download my class syllabus. There is a message board for you to post questions after class, and I will answer them on the board as soon as possible. A Q&A session will be scheduled in our own chatroom the night before each test. Do you wonder what our classrooms and lab look like? Take a tour please. Still want more? Check out my links to some "very chemistry" sites.
