HOMEWORK For each lecture there will be a Written Homework assignment and an Extra Homework assignment, which can be found on the Class Website The Written Homework and Extra Homework assignments will be worth one point each, and they will be graded on whether the problems have been completed, not whether they are right or wrong Written Homework assignments will be due at the beginning of each lecture meeting (Mondays and Wednesdays at 7:30 am in SCI 313) Extra Homework assignments will be due at the beginning of each laboratory meeting (Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 am in SCI 321), and will include answers for you to check to see if you are doing them correctly The Class Website also contains Additional Practice assignments which are optional No homework assignments will be accepted late, and 7:31 am and 8:01 am are late Four points of homework will be dropped at the end of the semester If a Written Homework assignment or an Extra Homework assignment for a specific lecture is missed, the point can be earned back by completing the OWL Homework assignment for that specific lecture The OWL Homework assignment will be graded on whether the problems are right or wrong, and credit will be awarded if you answer 2 out of 3 questions correctly in 85% of the topics on the OWL Homework assignment OWL Homework can be found on the OWL web site, and require the following course key: OWL Web Site : http://logincengagebraincom Course Key : E-23E34A2U58Z75 At least one homework assignment for each lecture must be completed to take the exam At the end of each unit there will be a Review Homework assignment as preparation for the unit test The Review Homework assignments will be worth two points each, and they will be graded on whether the problems have been completed, not whether they are right or wrong They will include answers for you to check to see if you are doing them correctly At the end of the semester there will be a Final Homework assignment as preparation for the final exam The Final Homework will be worth four points, and will be graded on whether the problems have been completed, not whether they are right or wrong It will include answers for you to check to see if you are doing them correctly 3
LABORATORY Twenty-six experiments and activities will be performed every Tuesday and Thursday during the laboratory periods, and the procedures can be found on the Class Website Lab reports will be due at the end of the laboratory period Each experiment and activity will have an OWL Prelab Assignment which will be due at 7:45 am the day of the experiment or activity (except for Activity 1 and Experiment 27) It will be graded on whether the questions are right or wrong, and credit will be awarded if all of the questions are answered correctly The OWL Prelab Assignment must be completed in order to perform the experiment OWL Prelab Assignments can be found on the OWL web site, and require the following course key: OWL Web Site : http://logincengagebraincom Course Key : E-23E336KBRYMJ8 Students can enroll for free for two weeks, but after that time access to OWLv2 must be purchased, and the access codes entered Each one-day experiment or activity will be worth ten points and each two-day experiment will be worth twenty points The OWL Prelab Assignment will be worth 2 points, and the remainder of the points will be for 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 three lowest laboratory scores (thirty points of laboratory work) will be dropped at the end of the semester Scientific lab work must always completed in blue or black ink In addition, all data must be recorded at the time of measurement, with mistakes crossed out with a single line Laboratory work with chemicals will require the wearing of eye goggles, lab coats, gloves (all of which are provided), and covered shoes Students will not be allowed to preform experiments if they are not dressed appropriately No food or drinks are allowed in the laboratory 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, SCI 321 There will be no make-up tests unless arrangements are made with the instructor before the date of the test, and medical documentation will be needed to make up missed exams 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: Tuesday September 11 Chapters 13 and 14 Thursday October 11 Chapters 15, 16 and 19 Thursday November 8 Chapters 17 and 18 Tuesday December 6 Chapters 21 and 12 4

Make sure you understand all material At the end of the course it all ties together and you'll have loose ends if you don't Overdrill Perfect practice makes perfect I go through my first reading quite slowly, putting down everything that is new so I can commit it to my memory Anything that I couldn't resolve during my first thorough reading usually gets resoved during lecture time I spend much more time in trying to understand a process and organizing the material than actual memorization 8

I found that I needed to allot 2 to 3 hours a day for studying chemistry This course is a real confidence builder Sometimes I felt really lost - but I never gave up If you do badly on one test, don't give up Start working on the next one as if it were a new course The long, demanding hours required for chemistry improved my study habits and prepared me for more advanced courses 9
