Prerequisites: One year of high school chemistry or CHEM 1405; two years of high school algebra or MATD (CHM 1634) REQUIRED TEXTS/MATERIALS For the lecture the required text is General Chemistry 8 th edition, Whitten Davis Peck, Saunders College Publishing. For the lab the required text is Chemical Principles in the Laboratory, ACC Custom Manual, Slowinski Wolsey Masterton, Saunders College Publishing. A scientific calculator is required. INSTRUCTIONAL METHODOLOGY This course consists of a lecture and a laboratory section. COURSE RATIONALE This course covers the fundamental facts, laws, principles, theories and concepts of chemistry necessary for further work in science or science-related subjects. COMMON COURSE OBJECTIVES Common course objectives are attached. They can also be found at: LECTURE EVALUATION & OVERALL GRADING SCHEME The lecture portion constitutes 75% of the course grade; lab constitutes 25%. In the lecture, there are 4 units that are worth 150 points each (4 * 150 = 600 points total). The unit is generally broken down as follows: 30 points for quiz(s), 20 points for homework, and 100 points for testing center exam. There is a 150-point final exam. So the total number of points for the lecture will be 750. In order to determine your grade for the course, your percent average will be multiplied by This will make the lecture portion of the course is worth 75% of your grade for the class. Your grade in lab will be scaled to be worth 25 points. For example, your lab instructor may report you grade as a percent and I will divide that by 4 in order to scale the grade to 25.

2 LECTURE COURSE POLICIES There will be 4 unit exams and a final. The final grade will count and can be used to replace your lowest unit score or 1 missed exam. If you miss a second exam, I will need valid, written, doctors excuses (that I will be checking on) for both of the missed exams. If you miss a third exam you will need to drop the course since you are missing more than 50% of the coursework. Late work is not accepted after the deadline. If you are having a problem completing an assignment speak with me before the deadline and we can make an arrangement. Be aware that I will be willing to do this only once or twice per student per semester. Please do not abuse this policy. You are responsible for your attendance that I consider mandatory. You are also responsible for administratively dropping from the course if you need to drop for any reason. I will always be available for consultation on such matters and hope that you let see me since I might be able to offer assistance. I may drop you from the course for attendance problems. If you have missed 3 consecutive lectures or a total of 6 lectures during the entire course, you may be dropped. Note: This is not a guarantee. Therefore, do not just assume that I have dropped you. Monday, April 23, 2007 is the last day to withdraw. Incompletes (Grade of I ) are given only infrequently. This will require that the student has generally finished most of the course work but there is some problem at the end of the semester. If you have a problem at the beginning of the semester or toward the middle of the semester, we will handle those problems then or you will probably drop the course. The incomplete should be taken care of as soon as possible but must be finished by the end of the next semester. LAB COURSE POLICIES The lab portion of the course consists of 13 labs each graded on a 100-point scale. The lowest lab grade will be dropped. Therefore, there are a total of 1200 points for the lab portion of the course. Your final lab grade will be scaled so that the lab is worth 25% of the final grade for the course. Two labs are paper and pencil. They must be completed on time. There will be one make-up opportunity. A make-up can only be done after missing two wet labs. The first missed wet lab is dropped, the second missed lab can be made up, and any other missed lab will count as a zero. You may use a paper and pencil lab as your drop lab but neither count toward your make-up possibility. This means that if you miss a dry lab and a wet lab, one of them is your drop lab and the other is a zero. In lab, students must complete 60% of all lab activities in order to receive a passing grade for the course. Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty "Acts prohibited by the college for which discipline may be administered include scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, cheating on an exam or quiz, plagiarizing, and unauthorized collaboration with another in preparing outside work. Academic work submitted by students shall be the result of their thought, research or self-expression. Academic work is defined as, but not limited to, tests, quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper; projects, either individual or group; classroom presentations; and homework.

3 Statement on Students with Disabilities "Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented physical or psychological disabilities. Students with disabilities must request reasonable accommodations through the Office of Students with Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the majority of their classes. Students are encouraged to do this three weeks before the start of the semester. Students who are requesting accommodation must provide the instructor with a letter of accommodation from the Office of Students with Disabilities (OSD) at the beginning of the semester. Accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the letter of accommodation from OSD. Statement on Academic Freedom "Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good. The common good depends upon a search for truth and upon free expression. In this course the professor and students shall strive to protect free inquiry and the open exchange of facts, ideas, and opinions. Students are free to take exception to views offered in this course and to reserve judgment about debatable issues. Grades will not be affected by personal views. With this freedom comes the responsibility of civility and a respect for a diversity of ideas and opinions. This means that students must take turns speaking, listen to others speak without interruption, and refrain from name-calling or other personal attacks." Student Discipline Policy "Students at the College have the rights accorded to all persons under the Constitution to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association. These rights carry with them the responsibility for each individual to accord the same rights to others in the College community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process. As willing partners in learning, it is expected that students will comply with College rules and procedures. ACC students are recognized as responsible persons who neither lose the rights nor escape the responsibilities of citizenship. Enrollment in the College indicates acceptance of the rules set forth in this policy, administered through the office of the Campus Dean of Student Services. Due process, through an investigation and appeal process, is assured to any student involved in disciplinary action."

8 STUDENT SUMMARY GUIDE FOR USE OF ACC TESTING CENTERS In order to ensure test integrity and adequate space for testing, the following summary guidelines have been established; the entire guidelines are available in any Testing Center and will be issued by your instructor via course syllabi or other verbal or written information which you are expected to follow. 1. You are required to have a current ACC student I.D. and an acceptable photo I.D. in order to test. An official fee receipt marked Paid may be substituted temporarily until your ACC student I.D. is obtained. An acceptable photo I.D. includes: A. Current Drivers License, Department of Public Safety I.D., or Department of Defense I.D.; B. Current Resident Alien Card or Passport; C. Digitally-produced photo from a recognized company (i.e. Sam s Club), bearing your name; D. A temporary ACC Testing Center photo I.D. ($5.00 fee); or E. Accompanied by an instructor for personal I.D. (student must take test at that time). 2. You are required to complete the Student Test Request Form. For re-testing, you must provide the yellow student copy from the original test. Initial and re-testing on the same day is not allowed. If the test deadline has passed, you must also bring written permission from your instructor. 3. Any student suspected of and/or caught cheating (including the use of unauthorized materials during testing) is considered scholastic dishonesty. You will be referred to the appropriate administrator. Disciplinary actions for scholastic dishonesty range from exclusion from Testing Centers to expulsion from ACC. You may refer to the ACC Student Handbook for disciplinary policies and procedures. You may also be subjected to disciplinary action for behavior that significantly interferes with or disrupts Testing Center operations. 4. Bring only the materials allowed by your instructor for the given test. Approved items such as English dictionaries (non-electronic), Scantron answer sheets, and all types of paper are provided by the Testing Centers. All other items (pagers, cell phones, laptops, purses/wallets, calculator/pencil cases, food/tobacco items, etc.) must be stored elsewhere, in a locker, or shelved in the Testing Center at your own risk. Children are not allowed in the Testing Centers. 5. You are responsible for the return of your locker key to Testing Center staff. Your property will not be surrendered in the case of a lost key until a report is filed with Campus Police. The incident will be reported to Student Services and a hold will be placed on your record until the key is returned or replaced. 6. You may be assigned seating in the Testing Center. When the Testing Center is full, you will be placed on a waiting list, issued a ticket, or be asked to line up outside the Testing Center. Only one test is allowed per sitting; you must leave the Testing Center and begin the process again for a second test. You may not leave the Testing Center for breaks while testing (except for a medically verified reason), otherwise, your test must be turned in to be graded. 7. Testing for a grade of Incomplete requires an Incomplete Grade Form or verification from Admissions and Records and instructor signature. 8. If an answer key is available, your test will be graded and you will be given your raw score. Once the test has been scored, it cannot be reviewed or examined again in the Testing Center; contact your instructor for feedback. Keep the yellow copy of the Student Test Request Form for the remainder of the semester for proof you took the exam and that the grade was posted. 9. All exams must be turned in no later than thirty (30) minutes after closing NO EXCEPTIONS. No students will be admitted and no distribution of new test materials will be allowed after closing time.
