Make up exams will be given at the end of the semester. Failure to take the exam at the scheduled time will result in a grade of zero for that exam. Make-up Exam times: see exam schedule page exams: In order to keep track off your grades, a Grade Performance Sheet is available. Simply print off the form and fill it in with your grades or bring it to me (Dr. Draganjac), and I will give you your grades. Keep in mind this is a generic form to be used with all of Draganjac's classes. Federal Law prohibits discussion of your grade with anyone. Also grades cannot be given by e-mail or over the phone. *Graphing Calculators are not permitted in CHEM1003, CHEM1013 or CHEM1023. A solar powered Texas Instrument Scientific Calculator (estimated cost - less than $15) is recommended. The simpler, the better. You need one to do multiple roots, logs and scientific notation. Other brands are acceptable but the student is responsible for learning the operational procedures. Cell phone calculators will not be allowed. ** 1) Students are responsible for the first 103 elements. Students must know the element's symbol, name and correct spelling of the name. 2) Student must know the name, formula and charge of the ions listed on the Cation/ Anion List. Students who require academic adjustments in the classroom due to a disability must first register with ASU Disability Services. Following registration and within the first two weeks of class, please contact me to discuss appropriate academic accommodation. Appropriate arrangements can be made to ensure equal access to this course. Tutoring: Peer tutoring is available to all students enrolled in ASU-Jonesboro courses in the Learning Support Center (LSC) located in the Dean B. Ellis Library, Room 100 (enter through the main library and take the stairs or elevator down to the ground floor). Tutors are able to assist students in almost all 1000- and 2000-level general education courses and some upper- division core courses. LSC hours are Monday – Thursday, 11:00 am – 7:00 pm and Friday 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. Students can drop-in or make appointments by calling 972-3451 or emailing [email protected]. Tutor availability by subject should be posted on the LSC website after the 2nd week of the semester. Some tutors will prepare activities in advance for group tutoring sessions. LSC services are included in your tuition—there are no additional fees.

Safety: The organic chemistry laboratory contains a number of chemicals which are toxic and/or flammable. For these reasons, I will enforce the following simple rules in order for you to have a safe laboratory experience: Phones are not a part of this lab. Receiving or making phone calls or text messages will not be tolerated. Phones should be turned off or on silent mode and should be placed in your pocket, purse, backpack or somewhere out of sight. No food or drinks are allowed in the lab. Safety glasses are required and must be worn while in the lab. If I see you with your safety glasses off after the first 5 minutes of a lab, I will ask you to leave the laboratory. You will receive a grade of zero on the laboratory and will not be allowed to make up the lab! NO FLAMES WITHOUT PERMISSION. Typically, you will not need flames for these experiments. If you do need to use a flame, check first and be sure there are no flammable materials out. NO Contact Lenses. Wear eyeglasses instead. If chemicals splash in your eyes, contacts can be hard to remove. Also, vapors can be trapped against the eye surface by contact lenses. Proper attire is required. Sandals, flip flops, shorts, earrings and necklaces that dangle are all prohibited. Don’t work in the lab alone. Don’t perform unauthorized experiments. Wear appropriate clothing. Many labs will be performed with a partner. Unless otherwise directed, there will be a maximum of one group of three in the lab. It is not your partner’s responsibility to do everything that is associated with the lab. You must be an active participant. Also, you should work at your lab station (or your partner’s). Most labs will be turned in at the end of the lab period. If you are instructed to hold a lab until the next lab period, it is your responsibility to get that lab to me or the TA when it is due. You will be penalized 10 points for every day it is late. This means that if you are going to miss lab, you need to make arrangements to get the lab turned in on time. No excuses. Also, do not depend on your lab partner to be here every week. Do not send your data home with them and expect them to show up with the completed lab the following week. You will be disappointed. This lab will be clean when you get here. It should remain clean. If you make a mess, clean it up. If you are unsure of how to proceed, ask the instructor or TA. If you break something, ask for help. Do not pick up broken glass with your hands. Grades will be determined by the 10 labs for a total of 1000 points. You will have one lab period to make up a single missed lab. Grades breakdown as follows: A–≥90–%, B–80–89%, C–70–79%, D–60–69%, F–≤59%. Hold all of your graded labs until the end of the semester. If there is a discrepancy, you will have a record of your performance. There will be a lab sign‐in sheet for each lab period. You are not here until you sign it. Remember, you must sign it and not allow your friend or lab partner to do so. All labs will be placed in the course documents section of Blackboard 8. If you do not have access to this class on Blackboard 8, let me know. You must have a printed copy of the lab and you should read the lab prior to your lab period. Schedule of Labs: Lab 1.
