DESCRIPTION: Chemistry 241 (CH 241) is the first term of a three term sequence in Organic Chemistry. The prerequisites for this class are one full year of College General Chemistry or its equivalent. You must register for lecture and one lab section of CH 241. If you need ANY specific instructional accommodations, you must notify me within the first week of class. 1
STUDENT RESPOSIBILITIES Attendance is mandatory; while some materials are available online, it is essential to attend both lecture and laboratory. Arriving late is to be avoided. It is essential that you read the assigned material before coming to class, participate in class discussions, and refrain from distracting the rest of the class by talking during lecture. If you miss a class, it is best to get the notes and updates from one of your classmates; the online lecture notes are often incomplete. No make-up tests are given without prior arrangements. Cheating on exams, plagiarizing papers or lab reports is not tolerated and may result in expulsion from class and/or school. It is essential that you keep up with the work. Late work may receive partial credit at the discretion of the instructor. The LAST day to turn in late work is the day of the final, with no exceptions. LECTURE: Students are encouraged to ask questions during my lectures. Good note taking is important, particularly since some material covered in class will not be in your textbook. My lecture notes are available on-line at the class web site at:http://www.pcc.edu/staff/index.cfm/662,html (link) but some materials will only be contained in my actual lectures. HOMEWORK: Reading assignments and homework problems are included and are due according to the attached class schedule. Homework will be collected, graded for completion and returned. Selected problems will be discussed and answered in class as part of recitation. QUIZZES: Given at beginning of lecture, these will ask for general concepts, rather than problem solving, to see if you are up to date on the assigned reading. EXAMS: There will be two midterm examinations each worth 20% of the total class points and a comprehensive final exam worth 20%. All exams will be announced and tentative dates are included in the class schedule. The questions cover material from the lecture, homework, textbook and quizzes. LABORATORY: The CH 241 lab will have eight (8) conventional lab experiments, five (5) of which will generate informal lab write-ups and three (3) of which will generate formal lab write-ups. GRADING Grades will be determined based on the percentage of the total number of points accumulated, not possible points. The class points will be distributed as follows: Exams (2 x 20%) 40% Quizzes/presentation 10% Final Exam 20% Homework 10% Laboratory* 20% Total 100% *A Laboratory sub-score of less than 60% fails the entire course. Grades will be assigned according to the following distribution: 90-100% A 80-90% B 70-80% C 60-70% D 0-60% F 2
OTHER GRADING OPTIONS Pass/No Pass: You must notify the instructor before the end of the 4 th week of class that you want to take the class as Pass/No Pass. After the 4 th week, you will receive a letter grade. Pass/No Pass grades are not computed into the GPA. They do not satisfy prerequisite conditions and some 4 year institutions limit the number of Pass/No Pass classes allowed for transfer credits. Audit: Students must make arrangements with the instructor before the end of the 4 th week of class. After the 4 th week, the audit grade is not possible. Again, the grade is not computed into the GPA, and auditing a class does not allow you to count the credits for the class, which may affect your financial aid eligibility. Incomplete: Only will be issued if 90% of the work for the class is COMPLETED by the end of the term AND the student makes arrangements with me to complete the remaining work PRIOR to the final exam. After 1 year, the I grade become a No Pass. Drop/Withdrawal: To withdraw from the class (or college) you must file an Add/Drop form with the registrar s office: their policies regarding tuition reimbursement, W on transcripts and deadlines can be obtained by calling 503 977-4933. Students who stop attending and/or handing in assignments, without withdrawing from the course, will be failed. Contact me as soon as possible (by Email) if you become unable to complete the course; I can help if you have such a crisis.

Portland Community College Academic Integrity Policy Students of Portland Community College are expected to behave as responsible members of the college community and to be honest and ethical in their academic work. PCC strives to provide students with the knowledge, skills, judgment, and wisdom they need to function in society as educated adults. To falsify or fabricate the results of one's research; to present the words, ideas, data, or work of another as one's own; or to cheat on an examination corrupts the essential process of higher education. Guidelines for Academic Integrity Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the coursework they submit. The following are guidelines to assist students in observing academic integrity: Students must do their own work and submit only their own work on examinations, reports, and projects, unless otherwise permitted by the instructor. Students are encouraged to contact their instructor about appropriate citation guidelines. Students may benefit from working in groups. They may collaborate or cooperate with other students on graded assignments or examinations as directed by the instructor. Students must follow all written and/or verbal instructions given by instructors or designated college representatives prior to taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations. Students are responsible for adhering to course requirements as specified by the instructor in the course syllabus. Forms of Academic Dishonesty Actions constituting violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to, the following: Plagiarism: the use of another's words, ideas, data, or product without appropriate acknowledgment, such as copying another's work, presenting someone else's opinions and theories as one's own, or working jointly on a project and then submitting it as one's own. Cheating: the use or attempted use of unauthorized materials, information, or study aids; or an act of deceit by which a student attempts to misrepresent academic skills or knowledge; unauthorized copying or collaboration. Fabrication: intentional misrepresentation or invention of any information, such as falsifying research, inventing or exaggerating data, or listing incorrect or fictitious references. Collusion: assisting another to commit an act of academic dishonesty, such as paying or bribing someone to acquire a test or assignment, taking a test or doing an assignment for someone else, or allowing someone to do these things for one's own benefit. Academic Misconduct: the intentional violation of college policies, such as tampering with grades, misrepresenting one's identity, or taking part in obtaining or distributing any part of a test or any information about the test. Penalties for Academic Dishonesty If a student is found guilty of violating academic integrity, any one or a combination of the following penalties may be imposed by the faculty member: Verbal or written warning. A grade of "F" or "NP" for the assignment, project, or examination. The following penalty may be imposed by the faculty member only after a hearing conducted by the division dean: A grade of "F" or "NP" for the course, overriding a student withdrawal from the course. The Dean of Student Development may also issue the following disciplinary sanctions, in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct: Disciplinary admonition and warning. Disciplinary probation with or without the loss of privileges for a definite period of time. The violation of the terms of the disciplinary probation or the breaking of any college rule during the probation period may be grounds for suspension or expulsion from the college. Suspension from Portland Community College for a definite period of time. (i.e., suspension of the privilege to attend Portland Community College). Expulsion from Portland Community College (i.e., removal of the privilege to attend Portland Community College).
Academic Dishonesty Complaint and Hearing Procedures 1. The faculty member observing or investigating the apparent act of academic dishonesty documents the commission of the act, usually by writing down the time, date, place, and a description of the act. 2. The faculty member collects evidence, often by photocopying the plagiarized assignment and creating a paper trail of all that occurs after the alleged act of academic dishonesty. Often the evidence will include various samples of the student's work showing a radical disparity in style or ability. 3. The faculty member provides the student an opportunity to explain the incident. 4. The faculty member explains to the student the procedures and penalties for academic dishonesty and gives the student a copy of the Portland Community College Academic Integrity Policy. 5. The faculty member may resolve the matter informally by determining an appropriate course of action, which may include a verbal or written warning, or a grade of "F" or "NP" on an assignment, project, or examination, or no further action. If the accused student contests the faculty member s decision, a hearing with the division dean may be requested. 6. If the faculty member wishes to initiate further action (e.g. assign a lower grade or a grade of "F" or "NP" for the course), the student is entitled to a hearing with the division dean. The faculty member submits a copy of the Academic Dishonesty Report form and any additional evidence to the division dean within 10 days of the alleged act of academic dishonesty, which initiates the hearing process. 7. Within 10 days of receiving an Academic Dishonesty Report form, the division dean notifies all parties in writing of the date, time and location of the hearing. At the hearing, the student meets with the faculty member and division dean to hear the charges and present his/her side of the case. The student may bring an advisor, who may advise the student but not present the case. If the student misses the hearing, the faculty member and division dean may proceed with the process to completion. The division dean will consider any evidence submitted within seven days of the hearing, and interview persons as warranted. The division dean determines if the action recommended by the faculty member is appropriate. 8. Within 10 days of the hearing, the division dean sends written notification of the results to the student and faculty member. 9. Within 10 days of the notification, the student may submit a written appeal to the dean of instruction. The decision of the dean of instruction is final. 10.The division dean sends a final report to the dean of student development. The dean of student development may also issue the following disciplinary sanctions, in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct: Disciplinary admonition and warning. Disciplinary probation with or without the loss of privileges for a definite period of time. The violation of the terms of the disciplinary probation or the breaking of any college rule during the probation period may be grounds for suspension or expulsion from the college. Suspension from Portland Community College for a definite period of time. (i.e., suspension of the privilege to attend Portland Community College).
