Stresses the quantitative aspects of kinetics, chemical equilibria, acid-base theories, coordination complexes, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Includes introductions to organic chemistry and nuclear chemistry. Prerequisites: CHEM 1411 (1311) and MATH 1314. REQUIRED TEXTS / MATERIALS: CHEMISTRY: The Central Science; 11 th edition by Theodore L. Brown, H. Eugene LeMay, Jr., Bruce E. Bursten, Catherine J. Murphy and Patrick Woodward. 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 http:// www2.austincc.edu/chem/curriculum/index.htm COURSE POLICIES / COURSE EVALUATION / GRADING SCHEME. HOMEWORK. HOMEWORK IS DOING ALL THE PROBLEMS GIVEN AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER. HOME WORK IS ALSO READING THE CHAPTERS BEFORE AND AFTER THE CLASS. IF YOU DON'T UNDERST AND -ASK! IN CLASS OR COME TO MY OFFICE EITHER BY APPOINTMENT OR DURING OFFICE HOURS. QUESTIONS WILL COME FROM THE HOMEWORK AS WELL AS LECTURE NOTES, SO IT IS SUGGESTED YOU WORK THE PROBLEMS. QUIZZES. ANNOUNCED QUIZZES WILL BE GIVEN, COVERING THE PREVIOUS LECTURE. THERE WILL BE 5 or 6 QUIZZES, WORTH OF 100 TOTAL PTS. YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO SUBSTITUTE THE QUIZ AVERAGE FOR ONE OF THE FIRST THREE EXAM GRADES. OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN YOUR FINAL GRADE. 1
ATTENDANCE: THERE IS A HIGH CORRELATION BETWEEN ATTENDING CLASS AND MAKING GOOD GRADES. ATTENDANCE WILL BE TAKEN EVERY DAY. THOSE WHO HAVE MISSED 3 (THREE) TIMES WILL BE DROPPED. UP UNTIL TWO ABSENCES ALL EXCUSES ARE V ALID AND AFTER THREE TIMES NO EXCUSES ARE V ALID. THEREFORE, DO NOT TELL ME THAT YOU WILL MISS OR WHY YOU MISSED-I ASSUME YOU HAVE GOOD SENSE AND I WOULD RA THER NOT KNOW THE DETAILS, SINCE I HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS. CHRONIC LATENESS IS A DISRUPTION OF MY CLASS AND AN ABUSE OF MY PATIENCE AND, LIKE EXCESSIVE ABSENCES, WILL AFFECT THE GRADE. MAKE-UP EXAMS: ONLY THOSE STUDENTS WHOSE PROFESSORS ANNOUNCED THEIR EXAMS BEFORE "THIS CLASS" ANNOUNCEMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A MAKE-UP EXAM. IF YOU REGISTERED FOR A CLASS THAT CONFLICTS WITH THIS CLASS EXAM SCHEDULE YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO USE "ADDS AND DROPS" TO REGISTER FOR A SECTION THAT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THIS CLASS SCHEDULE OR MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO MISS THAT CLASS ON CONFLICTING DATES. STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR MAKE-UP EXAMS MUST BRING THE CONFLICT TO THE ATTENTION OF PROFESSOR BEFORE THE EXAM. WITHDRAWAL POLICY: ALL REQUESTS FOR WITHDRAWAL BY THE COLLEGE SET DEADLINE (August 2, 2010) WILL BE HONORED WITH AN ASSIGNMENT OF W (NO PENALTY). WITHDRAWAL AFTER THIS DEADLINE IS FOR NON-ACADEMIC REASONS ONL Y AND RQUESTS FOR "W" WILL ONL Y BE HONORED IF THE STUDENT: 1. HAS A GRADE OF C OR BETTER AT THE TIME OF REQUEST, AND 2. HAS MET WITH THE PROFESSORS PRIOR TO THE REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL TO DISCUSS THE NON-ACADEMIC PROBLEM. EXAMS: THERE WILL BE THREE REGULAR EXAMS AND ONE FINAL CUMULATIVE EXAM. EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN IN THE TESTING CENTER DURING THE TENTATIVE DATES SHOWN BELOW. EACH REGULAR EXAM IS WORTH 100 PTS AND FINAL IS WORTH 200PTS. THE TOTAL POSSIBLE POINTS ARE 500. IF YOU WISH TO DROP THE CLASS, PLEASE DO SO YOURSELF, THE INSTRUCTOR WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. THE GRADING SCALE FOR EXAMS IS: A = 90.0% -100%; B = 80.0% -89.0%; C = 70.0% - 79.0%; D = 60.0% -69.0%; F = <60.0%. INCOMPLETE GRADES (I): REQUEST FOR INCOMPLETE GRADES WILL BE CONSIDERED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND ARE GIVEN ONLY IN EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES. 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." 2
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."
