Instructional Material Textbook: Corwin, Introductory Chemistry: Concepts and Critical Thinking, Custom Seventh Edition for HCC with MasteringChemistry. Pearson Prentice Hall 2012 with MasteringChemistry Pkg. ISBN-13: 978-1-269-32472-4, ISBN-10:1-269-32472-1 (Student may use additional e-resources) Lab Manual: The laboratory experiments for this course are provided online from your instructor's Learning Web site (http://learning.hccs.edu). Other materials, such as class notes, practice problems and practice exams, are also provided on your instructor's Learning Web site (http://learning.hccs.edu). Instructor's Requirements Classroom Policies: 1: Student Attendance and Absences: Class attendance is mandatory. Students are expected to attend classes (lectures and labs) regularly. A student may be withdrawn if the absences exceed 12.5% of the hours of instruction (including lecture and laboratory time).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 in a16-week of instructional period. 2: 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 or withdrawal date. The last date for Administrative or Student withdrawal is, March 31 st till 4:30pm. 3: Students with Disabilities: Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations and/or modifications must contact the Disability Service Office (713-718-5422) at the beginning of each semester. Faculty members are authorized to provide only accommodations and /or modification requested by the Disability Support Services Office. 4: Academic Honesty: Students should work independently on all the assignments, lab reports and exams delivered in the class (unless instructed to work in-groups). In case of scholastic dishonesty (any type of cheating, copying, stealing, bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered etc.), no credit will be given for the particular assignment and the student may receive an "F" in the course. 5: Dress Code: Dress appropriately for the lectures and labs. Open toed shoes, sandals, fillip-flops and any similar style shoes are not permitted in lab. Please be sure to wear footwear to cover your feet and secure long hair in order to prevent hair from falling on the face. Long pants and long sleeved top is recommended for safety reasons during the lab sessions. Wearing safety goggles while doing an experiment is mandatory. 6: Student Discipline: Adult and responsible behavior is expected. Disruptive behavior/ activities which interfere with teaching and/or learning will not be tolerated. Student Conduct Report form will be completed by the instructor after one warning and may result in dismissal from class and administrative withdrawal without refund. 7: Electronics in the Classroom: In HCC-NW the default policy is that devices are to be turned off completely (see signs in the classroom). All cell phones and other electronic devices must be turned off unless I specifically approve of them. Note that off does not mean on vibrate or mute. Laptops may be used for the class related activity only. Use of laptops and other electronic devices is not permitted during theory examination and will result in getting a zero grade 7

in that exam. Recording devises during lecture/lab session is not allowed, unless it is preapproved by the instructor. 8: Tutoring: Free tutoring is available to students for all the chemistry courses. Details can be obtained from the chemistry department. Lab Details: Lab work is mandatory. Students are expected to attend labs regularly. The experiments have been designed to help you relate theory to real things that you can observe. The lab work will help you prepare for exams. In addition, the lab work will provide a skill foundation for anyone who will be doing further lab work academically or professionally. Experiments are performed in a group of three. More than one absence from laboratory requires a valid letter of excuse. No make-up labs will be given. Student is not allowed to copy lab-data from the lab partners. Absent lab will get a zero and will not be dropped from the final grading. 1: Students must complete all laboratory assignments independently. If student attends the lab and does not submit lab reports, will get zero, despite of attending the lab. If a student fails to complete all lab requirements, they will receive grade of I for the course, irrespective of their lecture average. 2: The lab work, the lab assignments and home work are together are 20% of the overall grade. You will turn in your answers to pre lab questions, experimental data sheets and answers to post lab questions for grading either same day of the lab completion or at the subsequent class meeting. You will not be graded on experimental results but on how you use the results to answer the questions. 3: Late assignments may not be accepted and a grade of zero may be awarded for the experiment. Complete lab report has 3 parts: (100 pts) Pre-lab report: Read procedure for the experiments to be performed in advance and answer any assigned lab questions. It needs to be completed before starting the labs. (~10 to 25 points) In-Lab report: Write all the observations, calculations, results, and discussion. It needs to be completed in lab. (~ 50 to 80 points) Post-lab report: This includes answering assigned lab questions, if any, after the completion of the experiment. (~10 to 25 points) Lab grades will be assigned on punctuality, attendance, work ethics, completion of the experiment, and the lab report. 4: Each student is required to follow all the safety procedures in the lab. Detailed orientation for safety will be given on the first day of lab. Wearing safety goggles while doing an experiment is mandatory. Community safety goggles are available in lab for individual use, but you may buy your own safety goggles. Students should buy gloves and lab coats to wear if needed. 5: 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 may receive an F or withdrawn from the class. 6: Only experiments that are assigned by the instructor are to be performed. All other experiments are prohibited. 7: Any accident in lab, no matter how slight, must be reported to the instructor immediately. 8: There will not be a formal lab exam. 8

HCC Grading Scale: A = 100-90 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 FX (Failure due to non-attendance) 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 reenroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. FINAL GRADE OF FX: Students who stop attending class and do not withdraw themselves prior to the withdrawal deadline may either be dropped by their professor for excessive absences or be assigned the final grade of "FX" at the end of the semester. Students who stop attending classes will receive a grade of "FX", compared to an earned grade of "F" which is due to poor performance. Logging into a DE course without active participation is seen as non-attending. Please note that HCC will not disperse financial aid funding for students who have never attended class. Students who receive financial aid but fail to attend class will be reported to the Department of Education and may have to pay back their aid. A grade of "FX" is treated exactly the same as a grade of "F" in terms of GPA, probation, suspension, and satisfactory academic progress. 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. 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 with in 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 grades. 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. Health Sciences Programs Grading Scales may differ from the approved HCC Grading Scale. For Health Sciences Programs Grading Scales, see the "Program Discipline Requirements" section of the Program's syllabi. 9

Instructor Grading Criteria Homework: Homework problems are assigned in the syllabus as well as in the end of lecture PowerPoints. Students should complete and check answers at the back of the book before turning in homework. Quizzes: Quizzes will be conducted at the end of each chapter (Dates will be announced in the class). Exams and Grading: There will be total of 5 exams (4 inter-session exams, 1 final exam and a lab exam). Out of 4 inter-session exams, lowest grade will be dropped and only 3 exams will be counted towards the final grade. Make-up Exam Policy: If you miss an exam for any reason (lame or valid), no make-up exam will be given and that exam grade will count as dropped exam. Final Exam is cumulative and mandatory. You must notify instructor two weeks before the Final exam day if you have any conflict with the final exam date. No excuses will be accepted after that week. Grading Scheme: Exam #1-3 55 %* Exam #2 Exam #3 Exam #4 Final Exam 25% Homework & Quizzes 10% to one of the 3 Ex Lab Work exams1 20% HCC Policy Statement: *The lowest grade will be dropped. Final exam will be held on Wednesday, 7 th May 2014 in room no C220 from 2:00 PM- 4:30am. Final exam is cumulative and attendance at final exam is mandatory. An absence at final exam will result in F grade in the course. Access Student Services Policies on their Web site: EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System http://hccs.edu/student-rights At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time near the end of the term, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professors and department chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term. Distance Education and/or Continuing Education Policies: 10

This will help some of the labs. These problems are to help you understand the material presented in class and prepare you for exams. Odd numbered problems are assigned. The answers to the odd problems are in the back of the book. I expect you to check your work against the answers in the back of the book. If you do the problem incorrectly use the answer to work through the problem, see if you can figure out your error. The even problem will be similar to the odd problem. 14
