4. Catalog Description CHEM 413. Inorganic Preparations. 1-0-3. The syntheses and systematic characterization of inorganic compounds.

5. Prerequisite CHEM 306. Corequisite: CHEM 412.

6. Textbook Text Laboratory manual is available at Copy Connection. This manual is required and contains the experiments, instrumentation operational instructions, and pertinent literature references.

7. Student Outcome Objectives Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:  explain how inorganic syntheses are conducted.  demonstrate the chemical principles and techniques used by inorganic chemists such as inert atmosphere work, high temperature synthesis, magnetic measurements, solid-state synthesis, Aqueous kinetics, and re-crystallization.  use a wide range of instrumentation such as ultraviolet-visible, Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, conductivity meter, magnetic susceptibility balance, and differential scanning calorimetry.  demonstrate safety practices as consistent with departmental policy.

Students will be notified of any changes. Notifications will appear on http://blackboard.nicholls.edu.

Students will be assigned to a partner and a starting group number. Students are responsible for advanced planning for each experiment. Do not try to attempt these experiments without prior thought and reading background material. Little advance planning is not acceptable and will be reflected in your grade. Advance planning includes such things as calculations for solution preparation and the operation/setup of equipment.

9. Course Requirements See Methods of Evaluation

10. Methods of Evaluation (Undergraduate) Overall grade will be obtained from the following categories: 1) Lab notebook (includes all experiments conducted) 50 points 2) Lab report 1 (Experiment 1, due by Sept. 10) 50 points 3) Lab report 2 (Experiment 2, due by Sept. 24) 50 points 4) Lab report 3 (Experiment 3A & B, due by Oct. 15) 50 points 5) Lab report 4 (Experiment 4A & B, due by Nov. 5) 50 points 6) Finial Exam 50 points Total Points: 300 points

Grading scale - A= 90 - 100%; B= 80 - 89%; C= 65 - 79%; D= 55 - 64%; F= below 54%.

11. Make-ups There will be NO MAKE-UP labs.

12. Academic Honesty Policy Cheating or scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated. In cases of academic dishonesty the instructor may dispose of the matter by invoking a maximum sanction of immediate expulsion from the course and the issuance of a failing grade. Please note that you work in groups for the experiment, but you write two completely individual lab reports. Similar lab reports will be considered cheating.

13. Attendance Attendance of all students is mandatory. A total of two unexcused absences will result in the student being dropped from the class with a grade of "F”.

14. Drop Date Statement The last day to withdraw from the class with a "W" is Friday, October 24, 2007.

15. Academic Disabilities Policy If you have a documented disability that requires assistance, you will need to register with the Office of Disability Services for coordination of your academic accommodations. The Office of Disability Services is located in Peltier Hall, Room 100-A. The phone number is (985) 448-4430 (TDD 449-7002).

16. Academic Grievances The proper procedure for filing grade appeals or grievances related to academic matters is listed in Section 5 of the Code of Student Conduct and at following link: http://www.nicholls.edu/documents/student_life/code_of_conducd.pdf

17. Continued Learning Following an Extreme Emergency In order to make continued learning possible following an extreme emergency, students are responsible for:  reading regular emergency notifications on the NSU website;  knowing how to use and access Blackboard (or university designated electronic delivery system);  being familiar with emergency guidelines;  evacuating textbook and other course materials  knowing their Blackboard (or designated system) student login and password;  contacting faculty regarding their intentions for completing the course.

Faculty are responsible for:  their development in the use of the Blackboard (or designated ) software;  having a plan for continuing their courses using only Blackboard and email;  continuing their courses in whatever way suits the completion of the course best, and being creative in the continuation of these courses;  making adjustments or compensations to a student’s progress in special programs with labs, clinical sequences or the like only in the immediate semester following the emergency.
