C: 70-79% D: 60-69% F: below 60% Make-ups will be given only if a test is missed due to a documented, college approved legitimate excuse, which can be medical conditions related to pregnancy, or manifestation of a disability. I will also accept the following documented excuses for absence and test make up: active military duty (normal reserve duty excluded), court appearance, jury duty, official representation of the college, and religious observances. https://www.seminolestate.edu/policiesprocedures/procedures/studentinfo/3.0610 You have to notify me before the test starts and must take the make-up before the tests are returned to class. Note: One half of the final exam percentage will be used if a test is missed, and no make up is taken. The comprehensive final exam is mandatory. *Missing the final exam will result in a failing grade.* Final exam is a standardized final. A practice final exam is available at the Student Success Center. Homework System The "Modified Mastering Chemistry" online homework system will be used in this course. The Modified Mastering Chemistry is available in Canvas, under MyLab and Mastering. The course ID is:oztek11544 4
Classroom Policies and Other Useful Information 1. You are required to attend each class and laboratory meeting. Per school policy, a combined total of 3 absences in either lecture or lab will result in a FORCED WITHDRAWAL if the occurrence is before March 21, or a grade of F if it is after March 21. 2. Absolutely no cell phones are allowed to be used during teaching time. Anything disruptive for me and class members will not be tolerated. If during a test, you are seen touching an internet able device (cell phone, laptop computer, tablet), you will automatically receive a zero grade for the test. You cannot wear your smart-watch during a test. 3. You are responsible for all material covered or assigned during classes, labs, or announced on-line through your seminolestate.edu email, and written in the syllabus. 4. Announcements or emails by me are going to be sent to your seminolestate.edu address, and you are highly encouraged to check your email at least once a day. 5. Please read each chapter before its scheduled lecture, and then come to class with appropriate questions. You are expected to be prepared for lecture and lab by being familiar with the material covered that day. LABORATORY INFORMATION General: There will be a total of 16 laboratory experiments. Missing more than two experiments without approved/documented excuse results in a failing grade (F) for the class. The beginning of each lab includes important pre-lab information provided by the instructor. Missing the lecture will result in not being permitted to participate in that lab and will be counted as a laboratory absence. Safety equipment (safety goggles) must be worn at all times in the lab. You will bring your own goggles. Safety glasses are not allowed since they do not provide appropriate protection. 5
During the semester, you will be performing your experiments individually. Any and all data must be recorded in ink, and directly into the data sheet. You are not allowed to use scratch paper or white out. Any error must be crossed by one horizontal line, and be readable. No lab grade will be dropped. There are no make-up labs due to setup limitations on different dates. Grading: Each of the 15 laboratory exercises will be worth 20 points. The lab grade is a composed of Pre-lab questions: Lab report: 10 pts 10 pts Pre-lab questions are found within each experiment. These questions are due the beginning of the experiment and will be collected at the door. You will not be allowed in the room WITHOUT submitting your prelab. (Some experiments do not have pre-lab questions. In those cases, the lab report will be worth 20 points.) Lab reports are due one week from the completion of the experiment, at the beginning of the class. Late submissions up to one week past the due date will result in a 50% grade cut. After that, your grade will be a zero. The lab report should include 6

Collegewide Student Learning Outcomes The Collegewide Student Learning Outcomes assessed and reinforced in this course include the following: 9
Communication Critical Thinking Scientific and Quantitative Reasoning Information Literacy Attendance Policy The College recognizes the correlation between attendance and both student retention and achievement. Per College Policy 3.060 Students are expected to attend all classes, actively participate and complete all assigned course work for all courses for which they are registered. For online classes, attendance is determined by consistently logging in and accessing the course content and completing courses in accordance with the syllabus. Simply logging in to an online class does NOT count as attendance. Students must engage in an academically-related activity. Academic Integrity As members of the Seminole State College of Florida community, students are expected to be honest in all of their academic coursework and activities. Academic dishonesty, such as cheating of any kind on examinations, course assignments or projects, plagiarism, misrepresentation and the unauthorized possession of examinations or other course-related materials, is prohibited. Plagiarism is unacceptable to the college community. Academic work that is submitted by students is assumed to be the result of their own thought, research or self-expression. When students borrow ideas, wording or organization from another source, they are expected to acknowledge that fact in an appropriate manner. Plagiarism is the deliberate use and appropriation of another's work without identifying the source and trying to pass-off such work as the student's own. Any student who fails to give full credit for ideas or materials taken from another has plagiarized. Students who share their work for the purpose of cheating on class assignments or tests are subject to the same penalties as the student who commits the act of cheating. When cheating or plagiarism has occurred, instructors may take academic action that ranges from denial of credit for the assignment or a grade of "F" on a specific assignment, examination or project, to the assignment of a grade of "F" for the course. Students may also be subject to further sanctions imposed by the judicial officer, such as disciplinary probation, suspension or dismissal from the College. 10
Withdrawal Policy A student desiring to withdraw from a course after the add/drop period should initiate withdrawal procedures with an instructor or counselor. Withdrawals are not official until the withdrawal form is completed and given to the Office of Enrollment Services and Registrar. Withdrawal deadlines are published in the official College Catalog Academic Calendar. www.seminolestate.edu/catalog/#calendar Accommodation Statement Seminole State College abides by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which stipulates that no student shall be denied the benefits of an education 'solely by reason of a handicap.' Disabilities covered by law include, but are not limited to psychiatric impairments, learning disabilities and hearing, sight or mobility impairments. If you have a disability that may have some impact on your work in this class and for which you may require accommodations you must contact the Disability Support Services Office (DSS) to facilitate the accommodation process. Campus locations and phone numbers for DSS are: Sanford/Lake Mary Campus, Room A-101, 407.708.2109 Altamonte Campus, Room ALT 107, 407.404.6005 Heathrow Campus, Room HEA 115, 407.708.4440 Oviedo Campus, Room OVF 102-D, 407.971.5114 College Emergency Information In case of emergency conditions (such as tropical storms, hurricanes, power outages, etc), verify the college is open and classes are being held by calling 407.708.2290 or 407.708.4722. The Seminole State homepage will also feature updated announcements (www.seminolestate.edu). Seminole State College also offers enrolled students a mobile app called LifeLine Response. The app allows the College to send email alerts and push notifications about potentially dangerous situations on campus and supplements emergency communications that are already in place.
