1 CHEM 4333 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry- Periodic Systems Fall Semester 2015 MWF 11:30-12:20, MFPH 2040 Instructor: Prof. Robert K. Thomson Office: SLSRC 3210 Office Phone: Office Hours: By appointment TA: Wenhua Wang Office: SLSRC TBD E- mail: Textbook: Grading: Shriver and Atkins Inorganic Chemistry, Atkins, Overton, Rourke, Weller, Armstrong and Hagerman, 6 th Edition, W. H. Freeman, New York, Final grades will be assigned based on the total points accumulated as indicated below. The maximum total points are Grading may involve scaling or the use of a curve, but letter grades will be assigned as follows: A: 900 B: C: D: Each assignment counts towards the final point total as follows: Homework: 200 Periodic Table Quiz 50 Two Midterm Exams 400 (200 each) Final Exam 350 Written Assignment 50 bonus points Homework: Five problem sets will be assigned. These problems will be based off of questions from the textbook, as well as other sources. Answers to the assigned problems must be turned in by the dates indicated on the assignments. Problems from the textbook chapters will be recommended as a study guide throughout the course. The homework is meant to provide a review of concepts that you have covered in other course work that you have taken, and to cover material in greater depth that is

2 covered in the lectures or on the examinations. Problems similar to those assigned as homework may appear on the exams, so it is in your best interest to do the homework assignments and understand the solutions. Answer keys will be posted for the assignments after they have been submitted for grading. Late homework assignments will not be accepted. The best 4 out of 5 grades that you receive for the homework assignments will count towards your total grade point accumulation (the lowest grade will be dropped). If you cannot make it to the class during which the assignment is due, you must make arrangements to turn in your assignment before the class (e.g. during the previous meeting). Solutions to self- tests and exercises in the textbook can be found at Quiz: A quiz worth 50 points will be given at the beginning of class on Sept 9 th, in which you will be given a blank Periodic Table and asked to fill in the symbols of the elements (Lanthanides and Actinides are bonus). Examinations: There will be two in- class examinations during the semester. These exams are closed book, but may be supplemented by take- home open- book problems. Each 1 hr exam will be worth 200 points. A closed book 2 hr final exam worth 350 points will be given at the end of the semester (Monday Dec 14, 1:30-3:30 PM, MFPH, room 2040). Writing Assignment: A writing assignment worth up to 50 points of extra credit is available as a bonus assignment. The paper will be a critique of an article on inorganic chemistry from the primary literature. The paper should evaluate the content of the paper in the context of the material learned in the course. More details on this optional assignment will be provided at a later date. Extra Credit: With the exception of the writing assignment described above, there will be NO EXTRA CREDIT in this class. Make- Ups: There will be no make- up exams for midterm exams. Verifiable illnesses or emergencies will result in a grade being assigned to the missed exam(s) and homework assignment(s) based on your performance on the other exams and homework assignments. The quiz and the final exam are mandatory, and in the event of a verifiable illness or emergency, make- ups will be arranged.

3 How to Succeed in this Course: Read the assigned pages in the text before and after class. Solve as many homework problems and exercises as possible. The exams will draw heavily from problems on the assigned problems. Attend class regularly and ask questions.

The last day to drop with the permission of the Dean is Dec 11 th. Changes to Syllabus: The instructor reserves the right to change by addition, subtraction and/or substitution, the content of this syllabus. This includes, but is not limited to, course content, assignments, due dates, and relative portions of the grade assigned to individual components of the course. Absences: Students are responsible for the content of the course in which they are enrolled. Students have a responsibility to inform the instructor prior to absences whenever possible. It is the policy of the University of Oklahoma to excuse absences of students that result from religious observances and to provide without penalty for the rescheduling of examinations and additional required classwork that may fall on religious holidays. Accommodation of Students with Disabilities: The University of Oklahoma is committed to providing reasonable accommodation for all students with disabilities. Students with disabilities who require accommodations in this course are requested to speak with the instructor as early in the semester as possible. Students with disabilities must be registered with

5 the Office of Disability Services prior to receiving accommodations in this course. The Office of Disability Services is located in Goddard Health Center, Suite 166, phone (405) or TDD only at (405) Each student should acquaint her of his self with the University s codes, policies, and procedures involving academic misconduct, grievances, sexual and ethnic harassment, and discrimination based on physical handicap. Plagiarism and Academic Misconduct: Students engaging in academic misconduct (including cheating, plagiarism, and any other action that may improperly affect evaluation) will be subject to sanctions in accordance with the Norman Campus Academic Misconduct Code. Dr. Thomson routinely recommends a grade of F for the course and expulsion from the University for all such violations.
