Office Hours:  M 12-1, W 11:30-1, R 10:30-11:30

 

Text:                Chemistry 4th Edition, McMurry and Fay, Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2004.

                       

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.  These will not be turned in for grading.  Some quiz and midterm problems may be taken from these problem 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.

 

General Info:   You are responsible for all information given during class times. This includes homework assignments and any special announcements or schedule changes.  Deadlines and course information will frequently be posted on the class WEBCT calendar page or on the bulletin board.

 

Participation

Points:             Participation points will be given for being present and participating in the in-class activity and problem sessions 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, ÒBuilding the Connection to LabÓ available at the bookstore or

                        complete the self quiz at the text book website (www.prenhall.com/mcmurry4) Bridging to the Lab credit will be given for completing the paper report in the book.  Self quiz points will be given for printed completed quizzes. Exercises/activities not received on time will be given 1/2 credit if received by the beginning of the next lecture meeting.

 

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.
