UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty includes such things as cheating, inventing false information or citations, plagiarism, and helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty. It usually involves an attempt by a student to show possession of a level of knowledge or skill that he or she does not possess. Cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for work by the use of any dishonest, fraudulent, or unauthorized means. Plagiarism is the act of taking the specific substance of another and offering it as one's own without giving credit to the source. An instructor who believes that an act of academic dishonesty has occurred is obligated to discuss the matter with the student involved. The instructor should possess reasonable evidence, such as documents or personal observation. An instructor who is convinced by the evidence that a student is guilty of academic dishonesty shall (1) assign an appropriate academic penalty; and (2) report to the student involved, to the department chair, and to the vice president for student affairs the alleged incident and make recommendations for action. See the CSU Fullerton Catalog for details. Course Description: CHEM 2 Introductory General Chemistry Basic chemistry principles. For students with limited background in chemistry who plan to take additional chemistry or other science courses. Does not fulfill chemistry requirements for majors or minors. Text and Course Materials: Required. Required Hein, M. and Arena, S. (2007). Foundations of College Chemistry (Alternate 13th Edition) with Catalyst access. John Wiley & Sons: Hobeken, NJ. ISBN: 978-0-470-13210-4 Available in Titan Bookstore. Scientific calculator non-programmable. Chem 2 Laboratory Experiments by Perrot Course Objectives: Upon completing this course the student will be able to: Characterize phenomena by making both qualitative and quantitative observations. Apply appropriate scientific process skills to the investigation of phenomena. Recognize that energy exists in many forms; that any process involves energy changes in form and place, but that the total energy remains the same in a closed system. Recognize the observable properties of matter, and the reactions or interactions of matter depend on the condition and scale in which they are observed. Course Organization: The course is divided into six themes: Theme 1: Theme 2: Theme 3: Theme 4: Quantitative Stoichiometry Three-Dimensional Chemical Structure of Atoms and Molecules Chemical Bonding Chemical Reactivity 1
Theme 5: Theme 6: Atomic Structure Models of the Atom Inter-atomic and Inter-molecular Interactions Course Assignments Category Points Quizzes 40 Comprehensive final exam 30 Lab 30 COURSE TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE 100 Grading Policy: The course grade is determined by mastery of the concepts as indicated by two criteria: exam scores and the total of the accumulated points. The scale below indicates the minimum criteria for each course grade. Grade Course Total Points A 90-100% B 80-89% C 60-79% D 50-59% F Below 50% Quizzes: Each week a quiz is given on materials covered the week before. You can bring half-a-page of notes and use it to answer questions. Late quizzes you lose 2 points. Final Exam: The final exam is cumulative, involving several item formats: true/false, matching, multiple choice, problems, short answer, and essay. The items will require you to demonstrate conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and quantitative reasoning skills. You can bring 2 pages of notes to answer the questions. 2
Lab Assignments: The prelabs are due the day the lab is performed and the lab reports are due a week later. Classroom Environment: It is the responsibility of the instructor and every student to create an atmosphere conducive to learning during each class session. This entails attendance at every class, arriving for class punctually, active engagement in all class activities and assignments, and courteous behavior toward all members of the course. To ensure that the proper learning environment is created in the class, the use of cell phone, pagers, and other electronic communication devices is prohibited. Please turn off the audio from all electronic devices when you enter the classroom. You must leave the classroom to eat, drink, to use a cell telephone or pager. ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINK IN THE STUDIO CLASSROOMS. Special Needs Considerations: The Office of Disabled Student Services has been delegated the authority to certify disabilities and to prescribe specific accommodations for students with documented disabilities. DSS professional staff reviews the documentation from the referring agency and prescribes individual disability-related accommodations and support services on the campus and in the classroom. Safety: In the event of an emergency such as earthquake or fire: Take all your personal belongings and leave the classroom. Use the stairways located at the east, west, or center of the building; do not use the elevator. Go outside. Legal Notice: This course syllabus is not a contract; it is a tentative outline of course policies. Changes may be made before, during, or after the semester at the discretion of the instructor. There is a web site for the class: randomprecisions.com. You need to go to this web site and print out what is needed for each class. You should follow the instructions in the syllabus. 3
