Mini Web Lectures: Many
problems are solved in an animated format. You can access these mini lectures
from my web page.
ATTENDANCE: You are expected to attend class
regularly. You are responsible for
signing the roll sheet; if you are late, sign the roll sheet immediately after
class. You are expected to be on time to
lecture.
WITHDRAWAL: If you find it necessary to drop the class,
do not just stop attending class. In
order to drop the course and receive a "W" grade, you must proceed as
follows:
1.
Check out of the laboratory and receive
a laboratory clearance form. This MUST
be done at your regularly scheduled lab
time or by appointment with your lab instructor.
2.
Take the laboratory clearance form to
the Admissions Office and complete the official` withdrawal form.
If you miss three
consecutive class meetings I may drop
you from the course. However, you are
still responsible for checking out of the laboratory. If you fail to check out, your records will
be placed on administrative hold.
GRADING STRUCTURE:
Worksheets (10 pts. each):
Worksheets will be collected at the beginning
of lecture on the dates they are due. No
credit will be given for correct answers to problems if work is not shown. Late Worksheets will not be accepted. The answer keys for worksheets will be posted
in the glass showcase in the East wing of the Natural Science building. At the end of the semester your lowest
worksheet score will be dropped. All chemistry 110 worksheets are on line
(accessible from my web page) and must be printed out and completed before the
due date given in lecture.
Quizzes: (10-20 pts. each): All quizzes
will be announced. NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES
will be given. At the end of the
semester your lowest quiz score will be dropped.
Exams: (100 pts. each): Five 100-point
exams will be given. The lowest of the five
exam scores will be dropped.
NO MAKE-UP EXAMS will be given. If you miss an exam, this will count as the
exam that is dropped.
Final Exam: (200 pts.): A
comprehensive two-hour final exam will be given at the end of the
semester. (One-fourth of this exam
concerns nomenclature and chemical equations.
You must score 65% or better on this part of the final exam in order to
qualify to get at least a C in the course.)
Course Grade: Your grade in the lecture will be worth 75%
and your grade in the laboratory will be worth 25% of your overall grade in the
course. If you fail (average less than 55%) either the lab or the lecture, you
will receive an F in the course.
Grading Scale: The grading scale used to determine letter
grades on exams a well as your overall grade in the course is as follows: 90-100% A 80-89% B 70-79% C 55-69% D
Cheating: If you cheat on an exam or a quiz, in lecture
or lab, you will be dismissed from the course with an F grade.
Please turn off all cell phones
and pagers before coming to class.
I am looking forward to a good
semester!
