CHM 4130 Florida International University 1 CHM 4130: Instrumental Analysis Fall 2018 Course Syllabus Class room: CP197 Class hours: TR 12:30 pm–1:45pm Instructor: Dr. Yi Xiao Email: [email protected] Phone: 305-348-4536 Office: CP306 Office hours: Tues 3:00–4:00pm, Thurs: 3:00–4:00pm, or by appointment A. Course Description Learn instrumental methods of chemical analysis, including atomic spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, electroanalytical chemistry, and separation methods. The class will cover data evaluation and applications of different analytical tools such as spectrophotometry, chromatography, electrochemistry and other modern techniques. B. Prerequisites Prereq: CHM 3410; CHM 3120, 3120L; CHM 2211, 2211L; PHY 2048, 2048L; PHY 2049, 2049L. C. Textbook Principles of Instrumental Analysis, Skoog, Holler, Crouch, 6th Edition. D. Grading policy Your grade for this course will be based on the weighted average of the cumulative final exam (40%) and the three regular exams. You can drop one of the three regular exams. Therefore each of the regular exams will contribute 30% or 20% to your final grade. CHM 4130: Regular Exams (60%) You will be given three regular exams throughout the semester. The expected dates for the exams are listed in the calendar on the following page, and will be verified at least two weeks in advance in class. The exams will cover the unit previously studied. Exams will be administered at the beginning of the allotted time (those who come late will not be given extra time). There will be no make-up exams given for ANY reason. Final exam (40%) We will have a cumulative final exam. Finals week is December 3–7. The exam date, room, and time will be announced late in the semester. There will be no make-up for the final exam. If there is a scheduling conflict between another course’s final you must inform me two weeks prior to the exam to arrange a different time to take the exam.CHM 4130 Florida International University 2 CHM 5150: Regular Exams (40%) You will be given 3 regular exams throughout the semester.
