Teaching & Learning Methods

Class periods will be a mixture of theory, analysis, demonstration, and discussion. I believe in the active- learner approach. You are required to read organic chemistry (I) before registering for this class.

Additional Notes Assignments A set of problems will be assigned at somewhat irregular intervals but will always be due before class on each due date. Policy on late homework: late homework will not be accepted without a serious or compelling reason. Exams During this course, there will be a first worth 25.0 points and a second worth 25.0 points, homework and quizzes worth 10.0 points and a final examination worth 40.0 points. There is NO curve in this course. Please bring only pencils to the exams. Tentative Exam Schedule: 1. Two Majors (Class Tests): 2 x 25% = 50% 2. Quizez and Homework 5X2 = 10 Final Exam: 40% TOTAL 100% Cheating Academic dishonesty of any form will not be tolerated. University policies on cheating and plagiarism (see Students' Guide) will be strictly enforced. Attendance Your attendance at all lectures is expected and essential to your success in this course. As a rule the student can't miss more than 10% of the lectures with reasonable excuses from the instructor, and another 10% with reasonable excuses accepted by the dean of science. If the student misses overall 20% of the lectures, then he or she can't enter the final exam and will fail the course with 35.

Workload ……………. Graded Exams ……………. Participation No points, but students are highly encouraged to participate in the discussion. Laboratory None Projects None Disclaimer The instructor reserves the right to make changes to this course and its administration as reasonable and necessary.
