Eye protection i.e. goggles, are mandatory in the laboratory. Your TA will review/recommend what type of eye protection is appropriate. I would suggest that you consider purchasing a large three ring binder to aid in organizing your materials.</p><p>PLEASE! Turn off all pagers, Ipods, cell phones or any electronic device that makes sound before entering class or mute them. Thanks.</p><p>Grading: Unit Exam: 3 20% of final grade Quizzes: 11 20 % of final grade Homework 10% of final grade Final Exam: 20% of final grade Lab reports: 12 15% of final grade Lab Practical: 1 15% of final grade 100 %</p><p>Grades/points are not curved but cumulative. The scale listed below is absolute. However, borderlines cases may be rounded up or down according to participation/quality of lab reports and attendance.</p><p>A 93 -100% A- 90 -92% B+ 87 -89% B 83 -86% B- 80 – 82% C+ 77 -79% C 73 – 76% C- 70 – 72% D+ 67 - 69% D 63 – 66% D- 60 -62%</p><p>Exams: All exams will be given on the day specified in the syllabus and will be announced. Exams must be taken on the specified date. There will be no make-up date unless prior permission is obtained from the instructor. Quizzes: Quizzes will be given during the last twenty minutes of lecture every Thursday. You must be in attendance to take the quiz. There will be no makeup quiz, period! If you miss more than two quizzes, please see me. Results of your quiz will be posted on D2L.</p><p>Labs: You are expected to be prepared to perform each lab. That means reading ahead of time. Do not come to lab unprepared. Students should remember that to insure success in all subjects, especially chemistry, problems should be completed in a timely manner. STAY ON TOP OF YOUR ASSIGNMENTS/LABS. Turning in late assignments/labs will not be accepted, period! CELL PHONE USE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN THE LAB! Your TA will cover other policies and expectations.</p><p>Attendance: Attendance will be handled per departmental policy. In the event of disruption of normal classroom activities due to H1N1 swine flu outbreak, the format for this course may be modified to enable completion of the course. In that event, you will be provided an addendum to this syllabus that will supersede this version.</p><p>General Information about the Class/lecture:</p><p>Lecture: Students are encouraged to take extensive notes and ask questions. It would be a safe bet that quizzes and exams questions could come directly from material covered in lecture. Therefore, it would be very wise to take notes and really listen. Several times during the course I will have handouts/notes to aid in your note taking. Also, I might refer you to D2L for additional information.</p><p>Miscellaneous: Please let me know as soon as possible if you have a disability that requires special accommodations.</p><p>Some words of wisdom, advice, or whatever. Chemistry is often a difficult subject to grasp for most students. It can be your worse nightmare, especially when you factor in your basic understanding of various mathematical skills and concepts. Chemistry is a very exciting and rewarding subject to learn. It is an integral part of every aspect of your life. So, what does it takes to do well in this class? Well, first of all get over your fear of the subject. Secondly, read, read, read, read; then ask questions, ask questions, ask questions; and finally, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, and then practice some more. If you do what I have outlined above, you will find that chemistry is merely a toothless dog, blind in both eyes, deaf, with a bad case of laryngitis, severe arthritis and in congestive heart failure. So there is absolutely nothing to fear. As a guide, for every hour of lecture you should plan on reviewing the material for at least two hours and spending at a minimum one hour preparing for the next lecture. The major goal/objective of this class is to prepare you for making sound decisions about issues that affect our environment and having some knowledge about the concepts involved. Thus, the more time you spend preparing in this class the less likely that you will be bamboozled by what politicians may say and critical question what some scientist might report. And finally, I expect all my students to do well. If you run into a road block, then I am here to help you over come that road block. Just ask!
