CLASS POLICIES Please Note: All students are required to follow all policies and procedures as described in the HCC student handbook If a student needs to drop the course, it is the responsibility of the student to follow the correct procedure and deadline(s) to officially drop or withdraw from the course (details are available in the HCCS schedule handbook). A student will receive an F in the course if fails to officially drop or withdraw from the course. A W cannot be awarded after the official drop date. Last day for Administrative/student withdrawals: April 3rd, Students are expected to attend classes regularly. A student will receive an F in the course if the absences exceed 12.5% of the hours of instruction (including lecture and laboratory time). The course cannot be completed if the absences exceed more than 2 weeks (~four classes in a semester) in a sixteen-week instructional period. 3. Responsible adult behavior is expected in the classroom. Any student failing to exhibit responsible adult behavior will be asked to leave that day's class and for repeated violations will receive a grade of "F" in the course. All students must respect the learning environment in the classroom. To perform the educational activities without any disruptions, students are requested to: -Arrive to class and be seated on time -Have classroom discussions which are relevant to the topic we are discussing and are respectful to everyone -Not interrupt lectures by talking to others -Turn-off the cell phones and other electronic devices -Not texting when in the classroom In order to promote a healthy learning environment in class the disruptive student(s) will be issued a verbal warning, and if the disruptive behavior continues even after the first warning, the student(s) may be asked to leave the class for the day or points may be deducted from the exam scores. If warranted, the disruptive student(s) may also be referred to the 'Office of Student Conduct'. 4. Students should work independently on all the assignments (unless instructed to work in-groups) and all exams delivered in the class. In case of scholastic dishonesty (any type of cheating, copying etc.), no credit will be given for the particular assignment involved and for repeated violations the student will receive an "F" in the course. HCC-Scholastic Dishonesty Policy includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. (from HCC Student Handbook)

3 a. Cheating on a test includes: o Copying from another student's test paper; o Using materials during a test not authorized by the person giving the test; o Collaborating with another student during a test without authority; o Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part the contents of an un-administered test; o Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered. b. Plagiarism means the appropriation of another's work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one's own written work for credit. c. Collusion means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for credit. 5.

4 EXAMS and GRADING There will be total of 4 exams (3 inter-session exams and 1 final exam). Final exam is cumulative and attendance at final exam is mandatory. Make-up Exam Policy No make-ups are allowed for any missed exams. If you have an unavoidable absence at one intersession exam, it will be replaced with the final exam grade after you submit a valid excuse note. If you have not missed any exams, your lowest intersession exam will be replaced by final exam grade if higher. All students enrolled in this course must attend Final Exam. An absence at final exam will result in a F grade in the course. If you have any conflict with the final exam date, you must notify me two weeks prior to the final exam. To be considered for a make-up it is your responsibility to provide proper documentation to validate your excuse and no excuses will be accepted after that week. Grading Scheme: Exam #1 20% Exam #2 20% Exam #3 20% Final Exam 20% Labs 20% The HCC grading scale is: A = ; 4 points per semester hour B = 89 80:.3 points per semester hour C = 79 70:.2 points per semester hour D = 69 60:.1 point per semester hour 59 and below = F..0 points per semester hour IP (In Progress).0 points per semester hour W(Withdrawn)..0 points per semester hour I (Incomplete).0 points per semester hour AUD (Audit).0 points per semester hour IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades IP, COM and I do not affect GPA. Students are requested to keep track of their grades throughout the semester and can use the given grading scheme (as described above) to roughly know their letter grade during the semester. Final course grade will be will be available at your Student System account on May 15 th, Incomplete Grade (I): An incomplete grade can be awarded under extraordinary circumstances, only when 90% of the course has been completed. For example, at the end of the semester, if you miss one exam, one lab or the final exam due to sudden illness, family emergency, catastrophic accident etc., you can request for incomplete grade with proper documentation.

5 The student must sign a written contract prior to the I is given. Without paperwork no Incomplete will be given. If the missing work is not completed within the specified time, a grade of F will be awarded. An Incomplete grade does not allow a student to retake the entire course to improve their grade. Exams are two hours long and exam session ends when you have submitted your exam. No lecture or lab is scheduled after the exam. LAB POLICIES Students are expected to attend lab sessions regularly. Make-up assignment will be given for only ONE missed lab (with a valid excuse note). It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor to get make-up assignment and the make-up should be submitted by the assigned due date. Students must complete all laboratory assignments. If a student fails to complete all lab requirements, they will receive grade of F for the course, irrespective of their lecture average. The lab work and the lab assignments together are 20% of the overall grade. For grading, students need to submit a lab report for every experiment performed in the lab. Each experiment will be graded out of 10 points. Lab report is due either same day of the lab completion (preferred) or the following lab period if extra time is needed to finish. Lab session ends when you have submitted your complete lab report. If you need extra time to finish the lab report, you must get my initials on the report before leaving the lab. Lab reports are late if submitted later than a week after lab completion. Late lab reports will not be accepted and a grade of zero will be awarded for the experiment. Important: If you finish your lab early, you may stay back and I will be available to answer your questions. Your success in this course is important to me therefore I strongly encourage you to utilize this time to discuss course material with me. There is no formal lab exam. Lab grades will be assigned based on the lab reports (as described above) and student conduct. Points will be deducted from the lab report if a student is not attentive and does not follow correct lab and safety procedure; is not punctual; does not work well with classmates; does not clean-up after finishing the lab. Students will work in lab individually or in-groups. Each student has to submit an individual lab report on assigned due date. Late assignments will not be accepted and a grade of zero will be awarded for the experiment. Each student is required to follow all the safety procedures in the lab, such as, dressing appropriately for lab, wearing safety goggles while doing a lab etc. Detailed orientation for safety will be given on the first day of lab. Community safety goggles are available in lab for individual use, but you will have to buy gloves and lab coats to wear when needed. All students working in chemistry labs should be aware of the inherent dangers, which exist even though the instructor has taken utmost precautions. It is therefore important for each student to behave responsibly and report any irresponsible behavior to the instructor. Students guilty of irresponsible behavior will receive an F in class. If any medical condition restricts you to work with chemicals in the chemistry lab, please consult your medical doctor regarding any concerns and you must provide a permission letter from your doctor before performing any experiments in the lab. Only experiments that are assigned by the instructor are to be performed. All other experiments are prohibited. Any accident in lab, no matter how slight, must be reported to the instructor immediately.
