Turn these items off and put them away before class begins.Course Objective: Basic principles and calculations of chemistry with emphasis on the areas of thermodynamics, kinetics, aqueous equilibrium, coordination chemistry, nuclear chemistry, and an introduction to organic chemistry. The laboratory will demonstrate the concepts introduced in lecture and in addition will introduce qualitative analysis.Attendance: Regular attendance is expected. (A roll sheet may be passed at each class.) The instructor will plan to drop any student who misses over (4) classes. You are an adult and in a college course. If you wish to drop, you must turn in the forms and get a receipt.Chemistry 142 Course Information Martin LarterSpring 2009Those enrolled at the end of the semester must receive a letter grade unless they have chosen the CR/NCRoption. An “incomplete” may be arranged for completion of a particular item such as the final exam with sufficient cause. Withdrawal or CR/NCR grading is available through admissions and records.Grade Determination:Exams 35%Final Exam 10%Assignments 8%Quizzes 12%Lab Reports 35%Total 100%Approximately 89% will earn an A, 79 % a B, 65% a C and 55% a D grade. Please note anyone with less than a 55% average on the exams, including the final, or the labs will receive an F. Also, the final grade will be no higher than one letter grade higher than the exam average.EvaluationExams and QuizzesThere will be four exams and one final exam this semester. The four exams will be given as per the schedule. The final is comprehensive and will be given during our scheduled time in finals week.Quizzes will be given every week that an exam is not scheduled. It is very important for you to stay current and seek assistance when it is needed. It is recommended that you keep a file of all work done to use for study material and as a record of scores.LaboratoryWe will meet for lab two days a week. It is important for you to read the experiment prior to coming to lab. You must complete any pre-lab questions. Labs should be written up as formal labs reports. Please see the guidelines at the end of this syllabus for the format. If you have any questions, please ask.Registration should be completed before checking into lab. If registered late, bring your validated receipt to lab. You are responsible for any lost or broken equipment in the laboratory and will be charged for all missing equipment at the end of the semester. In a addition, a fee will be assessed for any student who fails to check out of the laboratoryAssignments -- These include computer exercises and homework.Chemistry 142 Course Information Martin LarterSpring 2009 Computer exercises – These are computer graded assignments that are available via the internet. (MasteringGeneralChemistry at www.masteringgeneralchemistry.com) Homework assignments - The problems above are representative of the types of problems that you will encounter. Remember, the computer drills are the graded assignment, and these homework problems are assessed for completion at exam time. That is, I will look over what you have and assign a credit or no credit grade. At the end of the semester I use these "grades" to help decide when grades are close. Homework problems and worksheets maybe assigned in class and turned in on given due dates.Tro HomeworkKinetics (Ch. 13): 27, 33,41,49,53,63,65,69,75,85,89,95,97Equilibrium (Ch. 15): 35,39,45,49,51,63,67,75, 79,93,97,101,109,111,119Applications of Equilibrium (Ch. 16):35,41,49,51,57,61,65,67,79,97,99,95,109 Thermodynamics (Ch. 17): 29,33,35,41,43,49,51,57,63,67,75,85Electrochemistry (Ch. 18):37,41,43,45,49,51,53,55,65,67,75,79,87,91,99,115,117Coordination Chem (Ch. 24):all oddsNuclear Chem (Ch. 19): 33,37,41,43,49,53,59,67,69,83Organic Chem (Ch. 20): 41,43,49,53,59Academic IntegrityThe faculty and the college have determined that integrity and honesty are essential to the academic process and that it is necessary that the written materials submitted by each student in a class reflect his orher own work for that class.ADACEMIC INTEGRITY POLICYSubmitting work as one’s own which has been done either all or part by another is defined as CHEATING. Students found cheating will receive an “F” for the course.“CHEATING” includes but is not limited to the following:1. The possession or use of unauthorized materials such as crib notes or unauthorized copies of exam material.2. Copying from another person’s quiz or exam or allowing another person to copy one’s examination material.3. Copying another person’s lab data and turning it in as one’s own or allowing another person to copy one’s data.4. Using a calculator or computer which contains stored information that can be used while taking a quizor exam.5. The possession and/or use at the students work area of a personal communications device during exams or quizzes.6. Submitting a false report for work that was not actually done.7. Modifying or attempting to modify an answer on an exam after it has been returned and then claiming it was graded incorrectly.Chemistry 142 Course Information
