Catalog Description: The first course of a two-course sequence; detailed introduction to chemistry for science, engineering, or health-related majors. Example topics include: dimensional analysis, chemical nomenclature, states and classes of matter, atomic theory, quantum theory, gas laws, chemical equations and stoichiometry, periodicity, chemical bonding and thermochemistry. Fulfills SUNY General Education – Natural Sciences.

Prerequisites: Math Placement MT 126 (or higher) and high school (Regent’s) chemistry or CH 010/011

Co-requisite: CH 181 Laboratory Page 2 of 9

Required Materials: Textbook: Chemistry: The Central Science Brown, LeMay, Bursten 12th, or 13th Edition - Mandatory: Mastering Chemistry Access Code – available with new textbook or else online at www.masteringchemistry.com. Your code is good for - Solutions manual is available as optional purchase. - Note: If you purchase book used or at another location, it may not include Mastering Chemistry Access Code - Textbook may be purchased as a digital version only for a lower cost than the paper text. However, you will still need to purchase Mastering Chemistry.

Web Materials: Online course through Blackboard, which can be accessed through MyECC. (https://myecc.ecc.edu/) This is where you will find copies of all course handouts, notes, & syllabus. Online exams will be given through this site. Additionally, you may receive communication from the instructor through this site.

Online Homework through Mastering Chemistry http://www.masteringchemistry.com/ (course ID: CH180FALL2015)

Other Materials: Scientific Calculator. I recommend a TI-30 something. Must be able to do scientific notation and logrithms.

Library Resources: Textbook is on reserve at ECC South Library

Incompletes: Students who present a valid written excuse for failure to take the ACS final either prior to or within 48 hours of that exam may be given a grade of "I" (incomplete) if they had a passing average. Students with failing averages are not eligible for incompletes.

GRADE: Final Percentage of Final Percentage of total Grade total Grade points possible points possible (%) (%) A > 89.0 C 68.0 – 71.9 A- 85.0 – 88.9 C- 65.0 – 67.9 B+ 82.0 – 84.9 D+ 62.0 – 64.9 B 78.0 – 81.9 D 58.0 – 61.9 B- 75.0 – 77.9 D- 55.0 – 57.9 C+ 72.0 – 74.9 F < 55

If the class average should fall below 70%, a grading curve may be considered and is dependent on the instructors' impression of the classes. Students’ scores are the only method of grade evaluation for this course.

OVERVIEW: - The lectures will closely follow the text. - Students are responsible for all material in each covered chapter unless stated otherwise during lecture or in the syllabus or notes. Homework: - Online homework with automatic grading is available online through the publisher’s website for each chapter. The homework is graded by computer. The program uses a Socratic method to dis- courage guessing. Hints are available but will cost you a small portion of your score if you use them (very much worth it if you need help). - Practice and example exercises will demonstrate the program. Students that do not participate in the ungraded-first assignment will have a more difficult time with the graded portion of the homework. The results have been consistent over seven years of student effort. - The publisher’s homework site is http://www.masteringchemistry.com/ If you did not get an access code with your textbook purchase, Click on the textbook (icon) Chemistry the Central Science, Brown, LeMay, Bursten 12th Edition (even if you are actually using an older or newer edition). At this point either log in or enter your access code (1st time) or purchase permission code. Once logged in, for course ID enter CH180FALL2015 This will send you to the correct course site (ECC). Please sign up with your name and ECC student ID. Navigation tabs are located on the left-hand column. Page 4 of 9 - The homework exercises consist of skill-builder problems, self-tutoring problems, or end-of-chapter (EOC) problems from the text. - Each chapter assignment appears on the course schedule (last page of syllabus). The completion due date for each chapter exercise is also listed. The assignment will not be graded after this date although you can still perform the homework for practice. - Collected HW scores and exam scores will be posted on BLACKBOARD by student numbers. Data are logged into an “Excel” spreadsheet tracking student scores. Exams: - Online material, instructor communication, and online exams will be done via BLACK- BOARD. Log on using MyECC. (http://myecc.ecc.edu) which can also be gotten to from the ecc.edu home page. - Once you have entered “Blackboard” and select course CH 180, you will be under the lessons’ tab. Course materials are available here. Exams cover two chapters each. Suggested Procedure: - After you do your reading on a section, o Practice-EOC assignments (Page 5 of syllabus) o Do graded-online home works (Mastering Chemistry website) o After a final review proceed to the online exam folder and take the exam on that material. (Blackboard) o All exam dates are posted on the course schedule. You only get one try at each quiz! Proceed at your own speed but note each exam has a due date! The most successful approach to this course chemistry follows the above methodology:

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY is not tolerated. Any student can expect the instructor to seek the student’s dismissal if caught cheating. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following:  Work with your instructor as you would an employer; convey personal responsibility and interest for your own success and future. Academic dishonesty is not tolerated. Any student can expect the instructor to seek the student’s dismissal if caught cheating. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. The possession of crib sheets or unauthorized notes at an examination or quiz, whether or not they are used. (Calculator memory banks, calculator cases or other articles are subject to inspection by exam proctors.) 2. Copying from another person’s examination, quiz, or lab report or deliberately allowing another person to copy from you. 3. Changing any of the answers on an examination paper, quiz, or lab report and then requesting that the paper be reexamined for additional credit. 4. Reporting of laboratory work not actually done in the laboratory or using data inconsistent with the numbers listed on the data sheet. 5. Copying or altering the copyrighted laboratory computer disks to obtain data without doing the computer experiments as designed. Page 5 of 9 6. Consulting with others during an online exam or homework assignment- violating typical classroom exam protocols during an online exam. 7. The online exams are not open book! Use text for periodic chart and fundamental constants only. 8. Allowing another person to take your online exam or homework assignment.
