Relationships.Goal: to develop relationships with each other and with the material. 2. Communication. Goal: To learn how to properly communicate scientific findings.3. Representation. Goal: To represent matter at microscopic and macroscopic scales of measure.4. Connecting. Goal: To move quantitatively between microscopic and macroscopic scales of measure.5. Change. Goal: To describe chemical change qualitatively and quantitatively.CHEM 110 is organized into five units:Course Organization• describe matter qualitatively at the microscopic and macroscopic levels.• predict microscopic quantities given macroscopic data, and vice versa.• predict the types and amounts of products of common chemical reactions.• analyze a comple x problem using chemical principles, discriminatebetween useful and un‐useful information within the context of the problem, design a solution path, and present the result with appropriate descriptors.• evaluate whether the result of a calculation makes physical sense, analyze sources of error in the approach (i.e., arithmetic, logical, or conceptual) and redesign the solution path to achieve an accurate result.At the end of CHEM 110, you will be able to:Learning Goals Textbook CoverageChapter #1 Chemistry: An IntroductionChapter #2 Measurements and CalculationsChapter #3 MatterChapter #4 Chemical Foundations: Elements, Atoms and IonsChapter #12 Chemical BondingChapter #5 NomenclatureChapter #8 Chemical CompositionChapter #6 Chemical Reactions: An IntroductionChapter #7 Reactions in Aqueous SolutionsChapter #9 Chemical QuantitiesChapter #10 EnergyChem 110 covers eleven chapters of “Basic Chemistry.”We will follow an “atoms‐first” course sequence. 9/25/20132GradingThis course is graded Credit/No Credit. You must earn 200/400 in the course and 50% or better in each course component to earn credit in this class.Points PercentageExams (two at 100 pts/ea.) 200 50%Reading Quizzes (online) 60 15%Case Study Participation 60 15% ALEKS (50% Objectives, 50% Assessment) 60 15% Chemistry Concepts Survey, two trials 20 5%TOT AL 400 100%Reading quiz is due the night before the class meeting at 9:00 pm.ALEKS Objective is due the night after a lecture at 7:00 pm. Class Meetings• Most classes will follow a standard lecture format.• About once a week, we will “flip” a class…you will watch a video lecture before class, and then work with your colleagues in class on a “case study” activity.• All lectures, whether in person or online, will assume that you have done the assigned reading and completed the reading quiz!• Respect your Classmates!– Arrive on time. If you must be late, please enter quietly.– If you must leave early, sit in the back or in the aisle.– Keep chatter to a minimum. Do not use electronic devices for non‐class related reasons. • Discussion sections are comprised of 25 students each, and are mentored by an experienced TA.• There is a weekly meeting with your discussion section and TA every Tuesday (check Canvas for the time and place of your meeting).• You are required to attend discussion section in Weeks 2 and 11 to complete a Chemistry Concepts survey.• Attendance at all other discussion sections is optional, but strongly recommended. • This is an excellent place to work on end‐of‐chapter problems with your TA and colleagues, or to discuss the Case Studies in more detail.Discussion SectionsExam #1Mon, 10/28Exam #2Tues, 12/10 All exams will take place in KNE 110 Bring a prepared Scantron form, a few pencils, a calculator, and a photo I.D. to every exam. Be in your seat at least 5 minutes before exam starts. Exams are 50 minutes All exams are cumulative.ExamsWhat Is ALEKS?• ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) is an on‐line learning environment for general chemistry.• ALEKS is based on artificial intelligence. Rather than a static set of homework problems that everybody does, ALEKS adapts to the learning needs of each student.• ALEKS has two components:• Working problems to develop skills• Assessment of your learningRegistration in ALEKS• First thing you need to do is get registered for ALEKS at www.aleks.com. • Registration instruction including the specific course code for Chem
