This material is recommended, not required. While many students find this amenity useful they should not be viewed as an acceptable replacement for the hard work of writing down and re- copying class notes AND DOING THE ASSIGNED HOMEWORK PROBLEMS. Testing : Three mid-term exams will be administered The Final exam will be comprehensive in scope. Exam content will be, in some respects, cumulative because of the nature of the material we are covering, but emphasis will be weighted more heavily on newly covered material. Bring two well-sharpened #2 pencils with functional erasers and an official NSU SCANTRON sheet with you to each quiz. Calculators which lack the ability to display alphabetical text will also be permitted during the exam. BRING YOUR NSU ID CARD Make-ups ······· None Occasionally, incidents of illness, work or personal tragedy intervene at inopportune times. It has been my experience that personal events such as these present the student with limited opportunity for catching-up. For these reasons I drop your lowest score when I compute your grade. A missed exam will be considered a zero, which will, most likely, be the lowest exam score you achieve. rading An overall score will be computed on the basis your best 3 performances, with the lowest single exam score dropped. The comprehensive final exam will determine 30% of your final score. Exams will G count for 70% of your total score. Your letter grade will then be assigned according to the following percentages. A: 90+ B: 80 – 89 C: 70 – 79 D: 60 – 69 F: 0 – 59 Academic Misconduct A presumption is made that students will behave in an honorable and reasonable manner as regards their own academic integrity. Any documentable evidence of misconduct will be handled according to current Departmental and University policies and will be pursued by your instructor to the fullest extent.

D:\Docs\2018-04-27\08f7f57950c63cc1afe523b37bbc78b7.doc Attendance It has been my observation that most people who fail to thrive intellectually do so after becoming detached from the learning experience and environment. All great works require commitment and do not be fooled, College is one of the greatest things you will ever do. If you fail to commit yourself to the course, you will fail the course. If you are not now sure of your commitment then you are likely to fail. You begin this semester with 4 extra credit percentage points. Attendance will be recorded daily. You are allowed 4 absences. I make no distinction between “excused” and “unexcused”. I feel any such distinction to be silly and meaningless. One (1) percentage point will be subtracted from your final accumulated course average for each absence in excess of the allowed 4. Each absence will result in the loss of 1 point from your final percentage. Recommended Homework August 2009 Questions, and Problems from your textbook assigned to improve comprehensive cognition.

To present this discipline in an interesting and logical sequence so that the beginning chemistry student may develop a basic understanding of the principles of inorganic chemistry and overcome misconception about chemistry and fear of science as a whole

Academic Grievances??:From time to time people will get the feeling that they are being treated badly, sometimes by a certain individual, sometimes by life in general. Normally no one wants to listen to you bellyaching about how rotten your life is unless , maybe their life is rotten too, but take heart. If you’re being done wrong by your teacher there’s a place you can go to get it all made right again. That’s right. You can find a sympathetic ear to tell your troubles to, and maybe just get a little justice in this world. You need look no further than Section 5 of the Code of Student Conduct and/or the following link: http://www.nicholls.edu/documents/student_life/code_of_conduct.pdf Sometimes they’ll agree with you, sometimes they’ll tell you to suck it up and stop yer gripin’. Maybe it’ll be therapeutic (50¢ word meaning good fur ya). You never know until you try…. So if it’s bad, and I mean reeeal bad, pop that link up above and roll the dice. We’ll keep a file open for ya.

Continued Learning following an Extreme Emergency: Face it folks. We are living in a potential disaster zone. Not just Thibodaux, disasters are free to strike anywhere anytime but there’s an extra deep groove on our roulette table. Let’s just say that we’ve got a much better than average chance down here of being taken for a ride in that great vacuum cleaner of life. It’ll suck all the same but you need to either pick up or stay stuck. I’d recommend the former. It’s really pesky when you’re as busy as you are now but you need to know so I’m gonna tell ya. You’re big kids now and you’ve got responsibilities. Teaching is my responsibility and learning is gonna be yours. When bad things happen to us good people, rest assured, I’ll still be teaching so you’d best not drop the ball. In the unfortunate event of a calamity you are responsible for:  evacuating your textbooks and other course materials;  becoming familiar with the University’s emergency guidelines;  regularly reading emergency notifications on the NSU website;  knowing your Nicholls email and Blackboard student login and password;  knowing how to use Blackboard;  regularly checking your University email;  http://mail.nicholls.edu  contacting me and your other teachers for guidance on completing your courses.

If the big one hits we’re all gonna be real, real busy getting everything up and running again. The classrooms and dorm rooms and most of your stuff may not survive but it is our intention to make sure that learning doesn’t end, which means that I will keep on teaching until the semester reaches its logical conclusion, one way or another. If you decide to take a

D:\Docs\2018-04-27\08f7f57950c63cc1afe523b37bbc78b7.doc break from the learning process then your grades will suffer just the same way they would if you stopped coming to class and disaster had not struck. To put it another way, it is better to know than it is to assume. I’m real sorry, but some of this might require you to read some directions. Fortunately, most of our disasters come with plenty of advance notice. In August of 2005 my friends and I left our place in Lakeview (NOLA) with the dogs and two days change of clothing and not much else. We figured that we would be coming right back. Seems kinda silly in retrospect.

Check Blackboard daily and your email 4 or 5 times each day. Check the Nicholls homepage first thing every morning. Lost power? I’m afraid that will be a poor excuse. Improvise. You have to be tough. You have to survive. You will have to thrive. Any excuses you give will be treated as just so much whining.
