SUFFOLK COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE COURSE OUTLINE INSTRUCTOR: CATALOG NO.: CHE 100 COURSE TITLE: General Chemistry SEMESTER: 5 WEEK SUMMER 2016 OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: This course is intended to meet the needs of the student enrolled in Health Careers or other curricula and will prepare the student for enrollment in subsequent chemistry courses. The successful student will be able to demonstrate proficiency in: 1. Solving problems involving atomic structure. 2. Solving problems involving chemical bonding. 3. Chemical nomenclature. 4. Balancing and interpreting chemical equations. 5. Solving problems involving chemical combinations. 6. Comprehending gas-laws and chemical equilibria. 7. Solving problems involving acids, bases and solutions. 8. Solving problems involving stoichiometry. 9. Performing basic laboratory techniques and experiments, which illustrate the chemical principles presented in lecture. Prerequisite: MAT 007 or equivalent. NOTES: 1. CHE 100 may not be used as a substitute for CHE 133 2. Neither CHE 100 nor CHE 122 may be taken after a student has completed CHE 133 or its equivalent. 3. Credit will be given for CHE 100 or CHE 122 but not both. REQUIRED MATERIALS (available at SCC Bookstore): 1) Morris Hein, Susan Arena, Foundations of College Chemistry, 14 th ed. 2) CHE100, General Chemistry, Wiley, Custom published for Chemistry Department, Suffolk County Community College. Lab manual must be NEW from the bookstore. 3) OSHA approved Chemical Splash Resistant/Proof SAFETY GOGGLES and Lab Coat (required for all lab sessions) PROCEDURES FOR ACCOMPLISHING THESE OBJECTIVES: This course consists of four lecture periods and three lab periods per week. Each laboratory period will begin with a short discussion of the assigned experiment. The laboratory work will be accomplished with students working in pairs or larger groups if appropriate. No exposed 1
feet (NO bare feet, open-toed shoes, or sandals) or bare midriffs will be allowed in the laboratory. CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT APPROVED SAFETY GOGGLES AND LAB COATS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES. Safety Goggles and lab coats may be purchased from the bookstore. If a student is 10 minutes late to lab and therefore misses the pre-lab presentation given by the instructor that includes safety precautions, the student will not be allowed to work in the lab and this will result in a grade of zero for that lab. STUDENT REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETION OF THE COURSE: 1. The student is expected to read the assigned chapters in the textbook and/or the handouts prior to the class, so as to be able to participate actively in class discussions. 2. The student is expected to read the assigned experiments prior to the laboratory period, so as to be able to perform the experiment successfully and efficiently. 3. There will be four (4) exams. Exams will be graded on a scale of 100 points and no grades will be dropped. 4. Students are expected to complete all homework assignments. Homework assignments are due on the date assigned and cannot be turned in late. 5. Each student will be required to prepare a clear, concise report on each experiment performed in the laboratory. 6. There will be a departmental comprehensive final exam. No one will be exempted from the final. GRADING PROCEDURES: The progress of the student during the semester will be evaluated by lecture examinations, homework, and laboratory reports. The final grade of a student will be determined as follows: Lecture Exams and Homework 60% Final Examination 15% Laboratory 25% 100% Following is the letter grade breakdown that will be used throughout the semester: 90.0 A 100 85.0 B+ 89.9 80.0 B 84.9 75.0 C+ 79.9 70.0 C 74.9 65.0 D+ 69.9 60.0 D 64.9 F 59 You must have passing grades in both lecture and laboratory to pass the course. You may withdraw from the course up to mid-term (6/8/2016, Wednesday) and receive a "W". If you withdraw after mid-term you will receive a "W" if you are passing at the time of withdrawal and an "F" if you are failing. Note that if you stop attending classes without officially withdrawing, you will be given a non-negotiable F by your instructor. 2
RULES CONCERNING STUDENT ABSENCE: The college expects all students to attend every class session for which they are registered. Students are responsible for all that transpires in class whether or not they are in attendance. The College defines excessive absence or lateness as more than the equivalent of two lecture meetings and one lab meeting during the summer semester. Excessive absence or lateness may lead to failure in a course or removal from the class roster. Absences, excused or not, from either the lecture or the laboratory period cannot be made up. Students who are not absent all semester from the laboratory period will have their LOWEST laboratory report grade dropped from the tabulation of their laboratory grade. DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES If you have any kind of learning disability that may impact your course work, please read the documents from the following link http://www.sunysuffolk.edu/students/disability.asp. Students who need special services or accommodations must submit written proof of their disability to their home campus office so that appropriate arrangements can be made before the start of classes. Students who require assistance during emergency evacuation are encouraged to discuss their needs with their professors and Disability Support Services. STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT Cheating of any form will not be tolerated. Anyone caught cheating on an exam or lab report will receive a zero on that assignment and the procedures set forth by the college will be followed. Please see the Student Code of Conduct at: http://www3.sunysuffolk.edu/forms/policies_9.pdf Calculators: A scientific calculator is required for the large amount of calculations that we will be performing in all aspects of this chemistry course. This does not have to be a state-of-the-art, top-ofthe-line model, as long as you are able to perform scientific notation and logarithms. 1. YOUR CELL PHONE CANNOT SERVE AS A CALCULATOR. 2. CELL PHONES MAY NOT BE VISIBLE DURING EXAMINATIONS. 3. CALCULATORS MAY NOT BE SHARED WHILE TAKING AN EXAMINATION. Cell Phones: Audible cell phone usage such as ringing during class, answering the phone during class, or text messaging during class is disruptive for everyone. However, an emergency may arise that would necessitate your receiving a call. Therefore all cell phones should be placed in a vibrate mode. If you must take a call (for emergency only), you should remove yourself from the classroom/lab area before you answer in an audible manner. You are not allowed to use your cell phone for calculations while taking the tests. According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), grades will never be discussed by e-mail or phone or with anyone else but you and only you in person! DISCLAIMER The above course information is tentative. The instructor reserves the right to make corrections, additions and/or deletions as the semester progresses. Outline corrections will be announced as they occur. 3
DISCLAIMER: I have read and am aware of all the information contained in the course outline. I am aware that my professor does not give me my final grade; I have to EARN my final grade. CHE 100 Section: _102 CRN# 60249 Date: / /2016 Name (please print): Your signature: 4

Lab Policies NOTES: Also, the student is expected to read the assigned experiments prior to the laboratory period, so as to be able to perform the experiment successfully and efficiently. Students MUST wear safety goggles during the lab period. They may be purchased from the bookstore. 1. The laboratory portion of the course is worth 25% of your final grade. 2. Each lab will be graded on a scale of 100 points 3. You must complete 12 out of the 13 labs. No missed lab can be made up. 4. If you completed all 13 labs, ONE OF your lowest lab score will be dropped from the tabulation of your final grade. 5. Student must to be on time for each laboratory session. If a student misses the pre-lab presentation, he will not be allowed to work in the lab and this will result in a grade of zero for that lab. 6. DO NOT MISS LABs 7 (models), 9 and 10 (Single/Double displacement Lab) 7. Students MUST wear safety goggles during the lab period. 8. Students are expected to read the assigned experiment prior to the laboratory period. 9. 3-Laboratory reports are due Monday of the following week after the experiment is completed. Lab reports submitted one week late shall be penalized 10 points. After one week, the lab report will not be accepted and will result in a grade of zero. IF YOU FAIL THE LAB YOU FAIL THE COURSE!!! 5
