It includes measurement, classification of matter, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, nomenclature, chemical equations and stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions, oxidation-reduction, nuclear chemistry, and an introduction to sustainable chemistry. CHEM 102 Lecture is a 3-credit course associated with CHEM 102 Laboratory, but it is graded separately. There are three (3) lectures, one hour recitation and one (1) three-hour laboratory period per week. Recommended Course Materials Textbook: Nivaldo J.

Please visit often for updates Student Learning Objectives Course learning objectives/outcome. Students will: Assessment method Alignment to program(s) learning goals (i) Become active learners in the class and follow class rules. (ii) Upon successful completion of the CHEM 102 course, a student should be able to: Demonstrate knowledge of fundamental concepts in chemistry including measurement, classification of matter, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, nomenclature, chemical equations and stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions, oxidation-reduction, nuclear chemistry, and an introduction to sustainable chemistry. Demonstrate quantitative reasoning skills including proficiency in calculation skills, and the ability to accurately interpret numerical data. Students class performance includes class attendance and class activities. Attendance will be evaluated in points. A maximum 10 points (except for exam days) will be awarded as follows: a). All students who attend the class will get 5 points. b) An additional 5 points will be awarded at the end of the semester for students who engage in class recitation learning. Assessment will be performed based on students performance in exams and the course project that will be assigned. Assessment will be performed based on students performance in exams.

Demonstrate an ability to solve problems competently using approximation, precision, accuracy, and statistical validity. Evaluation: Grades are assigned according to the college-wide grading system. 100-90=A (GPA=4.0) 89-80=B (GPA=3.0) 79-70=C (GPA=2.0) 69-60=D (GPA=1.0) 59-0=F (GPA=0.0) Student s grade for this course ( lecture part) will be calculated as indicated below. Lecture Attendance+ Quiz + Homework (Review Worksheet) Exams (3 exams) ACS exam (comprehensive) 30% 50% 20% 100% ATTENDANCE: Students are required to attend all lectures and recitations. Students will be asked to sign or initial the attendance sheet at the end of the class. RECITATION: N/A HOMEWORK: Homework could be found in Chapter review worksheet. QUIZ: Each quiz questions are from homework. EXAMS: There will be three 50-minute in-class examinations (each includes multiple-choice + problem solving) and one final exam (ACS standardized test all multiple choice) given through the semester. Each exam will be 110 points and all exams are mandatory. FINAL EXAM: The final exam will be the American Chemical Society (ACS) standardized exam for 1st Term General Chemistry. The test consists of 70 (or 80) multiple-choice questions. LATE or MISSED WORK: Students are responsible for completing homework and exams on time. No extensions will be given. Unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor due to an acceptable conflict such as an illness or university business, all exams must be taken on the scheduled date and time (please see below the class policy regarding exams make-up_. Special Class Requirements (This course will adhere to the university s policy on student conduct and behavior including the use of cell phones found at http://www.desu.edu/sites/default/files/judicialprocedures(2).pdf). Specific rules for the class are listed below. 1. Exams attendance is mandatory. No make-up exams will be permitted unless student reports a special situation. This includes: university business (official document needed), medical emergency (regular medical appointment is not counted as medical emergency), and other physical emergencies (relevant official certificate is required). The official document must be provided along with a make-up slip (which can be downloaded from the instructor website: www.desu.edu/~cylai). The make-up slip must be filled out by the student and signed by student s academic advisor. If student s advisor is not available, please have the make-up slip signed by your department chair. In situations where you have personal problems that could not be justified (an acut e sickness, oversleep, miss the bus, a flat tire etc.) please be aware that the make-up will be considered but the score will start at 75%. Exception The final exam is a standardized test and we do not provide make-up. Your absence will be counted as 0 score in the exam. 2. Coming late or leaving early for more than 10 minutes will be counted as absence and no points for student performance in class will be awarded. 2
3. Cheating in any format in any of the exams may directly result in F of the quiz/exam and may be reported to the Department Chairperson of Chemistry for disciplinary action. 4. Silencing your cell phone during the class time is required. Each time of violation is taken as serious disturbance of class and will receive an oral warning. The violation may cause 5 points decrease in the final grade. Repeated violator will be asked to leave class. 5. Students that are disturbing others by talking, making noises, or eating during the class time will be required to leave the classroom. Campus security will be called if the student refuses to leave. 6. Students coming for exams are required to follow rules set by the instructor for the class. These rules include, (i) No cheating can be tolerated; (ii) No cell phones can be used as calculators; (iii) Usi ng cell phones in any means during quizzes/exams will be considered as cheating; (iv) Using restroom during quizzes/exams is not allowed until test sheets are submitted. 7. Students who have learning disabilities and/or need special accommodation please directly contact DSU Office of Accessibility Service ( http://www.desu.edu/academics/office-student-accessibility-services). We will coordinate the examinations with this office.
