2 GRADING During the semester there will be homework assignments and quizzes worth 70 points, laboratory work worth 230 points, four 100-point tests worth a total of 400 points, and a final exam worth 300 points There will be no extra credit assignments during the semester Grades will be determined by the following point scale: ( %) A ( %) B ( %) C ( %) D ( %) F PRESENTATION OF MATERIAL The class material will be presented in two lectures each week, Mondays and Wednesdays during the lecture meeting (3:00 pm in SM 206) Attend every class lecture and take careful notes Each lecture is numbered, with the corresponding text book pages listed in the Semester Schedule later in this syllabus It is intended that these pages be read before attending the lecture If a class is missed, each PowerPoint lecture can be found on the Class Web Site READING When doing the reading assignments, skim through the reading first, noting major topics and what the examples cover Look at the diagrams and pictures, and read the captions Glance at the homework assigned for the reading to see what topics and concepts are emphasized, and go through the reading thoroughly TESTS The four tests will be given every four weeks, and will cover approximately two chapters each Tests will be taken during the laboratory period in the laboratory room, SM 208 There will be no make-up tests unless arrangements are made with the instructor before the date of the test A missed test will result in a score of zero Cheating on a test will result in an F in the course No test scores will be dropped Tests will be given on: Thursday February 11 Chapters 13 and 14 Thursday March 10 Chapters 15, 16 and 19 Thursday April 14 Chapters 17 and 18 Thursday May 12 Chapters 21 and 12 2

3 QUIZZES First, you will be required to know general chemistry nomenclature (naming and writing formulas of compounds), and you will take a nomenclature quiz the second week of the semester If this quiz is not passed, it must be retaken and passed by Week 15 with a score of 85% or higher in order to pass the course The ten-point quiz on nomenclature will be given on: Thursday January 28 Nomenclature Quiz Second, you will take a practice mini-final at the end of the semester before the actual final The six-point practice final will be given on: Tuesday May 10 Practice Final HOMEWORK There will be an Written Homework assignment given for each lecture, an OWL Homework assignment given for each lecture, a Review Homework assignment as review for each test, and a Final Homework assignment as review for the final Written Homework, Review Homework, and Final Homework assignments can be found on the Class Web Site OWL Homework can be found on the OWL web site One point will be awarded each day Written Homework or OWL Homework assignments are due and completed Review Homework assignments as review for a test will be worth two points when due and completed, and the Final Homework assignment will be worth four points when due and completed Written Homework assignments will be due at the beginning of each lecture meeting (Mondays and Wednesdays at 3:00 pm in SM 206), and OWL Homework assignments will be due Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:45 pm, 15 minutes before each laboratory meeting (Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:00 pm in SM 208) No homework assignments will be accepted late, and 3:01 pm and 2:46 pm are late The Written Homework, Review Homework, and Final Homework will be graded on whether the problems have been completed, not whether they are right or wrong The OWL Homework will be graded on whether the problems are right or wrong, and credit will be awarded if the OWL Homework assignment is 85% correct Six points of homework will be dropped at the end of the semester LABORATORY Laboratory procedures will be found in the Chemistry 1B Laboratory Manual - Yellow Version, which can be purchased in the book store If needed, a copy of the laboratory manual can be found on reserve in the library The twenty-six experiments and activities will be performed every Tuesday and Thursday during the laboratory periods, and will be due at the end of the laboratory period unless instructed differently Each one-day experiment or activity will be worth ten points and each two-day experiment will be worth twenty points for prelab, participation, laboratory technique, data collecting, calculations, questions and clean-up There will be no make-ups for experiments, and no experiments will be accepted late Except for the Qualitative Analysis of a General Unknown (Experiment 24-25), the two lowest laboratory scores (twenty points of laboratory work) will be dropped at the end of the semester Laboratory work will require the wearing of eye goggles (which are provided) and covered shoes 3
