Chemistry 221 (sec 1)

Tentative Syllabus

Fall 2004

Instructor: Dr. Gwen Shusterman

Science Building II, Room 350, 725-3897, email: shustermang@pdx.edu

Office Hours:

Text: Chemistry, McMurray and Fay, Prentice Hall/Pearson, 4^th Edition.

Exams: There will be two one-hour midterms, two short quizzes and a two-hour final (see schedule). The final exam will be cumulative. The material to be covered during each exam is shown on the schedule.

Homework: There will be regular problem assignments given during class. These will not be turned in for grading. Some quiz and midterm problems may be taken from these problems sets. The answers to these problems are provided in the back of the text and in the solutions manual. Feel free to work additional problems to practice your problem solving skills. Success in this course is strongly correlated with time spent working problems.

Participation Participation points will be given for being present and participating in the in-class activity and problem sessions (approximately every other week) and completing the class web assignments/quizzes. In addition, you may choose to either enroll in workshops, CH 299, complete the virtual lab exercises assigned from the software, ≥Building the Connection to Lab≤ available at the bookstore or completing the product research assignment. Exercised/activities not received on time will be given 1/2 credit if received by the beginning of the next lecture meeting.

General Info: You are responsible for all information given during class times. This includes homework assignments and any special announcements or schedule changes.

Grading: Grades will be based on the cumulative scores of exams and quizzes, plus participation points (approximately 15% of the grade). The following scores guarantee the grade shown; however, the instructor may choose to revise these percentiles downwards if class performance warrants it. Plusses and minuses will be given.

Grade	A	B	C	D	F
Score	Ñ 90%	Ñ 80%	Ñ 65%	Ñ 55%	< 55%
