BRAZOSPORT COLLEGE SYLLABUS CHEM 1312 General Chemistry II II COURSE EVALUATION Student Evaluation One hour exams are designed to measure the student's mastery of the course objectives. Homework assignments and fifteen-minute pop tests are designed to indicate whether or not the student is doing the assigned reading carefully. Laboratory exams, if any, are intended to measure the student's laboratory techniques, understanding of experiments done, and how the student can apply concepts covered in lecture to practical situations. The laboratory grade will be the average of the experiment grades and exam grades. The course grade will be determined from the following: Quizzes 60% Lab 20% Final 20% TOTAL 100% Each instructor will announce the exact percentages to be used at the beginning of the course. Instructor Evaluation A. Students will be given an opportunity to evaluate their instructor and the course content. B. Instructor will review and evaluate in terms of withdrawal rate. C. Final grades given will be reviewed in an effort to determine if a pattern of high or low grades exists. Department Evaluation A. Faculty and the Division Chair will review student s grade and withdrawal trends. B. Faculty and the Division Chair will review the Course, Competencies, and Perspectives Assessment 2
CORE CURRICULUM OBJECTIVES AND ASSESSMENTS As part of the Brazosport College Core Curriculum, this course provides students the opportunity to achieve the following core curriculum objectives: 1. Critical Thinking: Including innovation, creative thinking, inquiry and analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information 2. Communication Skills: Including effective development, interpretation, and expression of ideas through written, oral, and visual communication. 3. Empirical and Quantitative Skills: Including the manipulation and analysis of numerical data or observable facts resulting in informed conclusions. 4. Teamwork: Including the ability to consider different points of view and to work effectively with others to support a shared purpose or goal. 5. Social Responsibility: Including intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities. 6. Personal Responsibility: Including the ability to connect choices, actions, and consequences to ethical decision making. Objectives will be assessed according to the Brazosport College Core Assessment Plan through the sampling and evaluation of student work. III. Course Content Objectives The course is designed to help the student: A. Determine the rate of a chemical reaction, to write the rate law for any reaction given the rate and reagent concentrations, and to write the integrated rate law for first order reactions. B. Describe a chemical system at equilibrium and to calculate the effect of a given change in reaction conditions on the equilibrium concentrations. C. Determine whether or not a reaction will occur, and to calculate the heat flow in a reaction system, the maximum amount of useful work that can be done by a spontaneous reaction, and the equilibrium state at a given temperature. D. Determine the overall reaction in an electrochemical cell and the cell potential at the given reactant concentrations. E. Identify the family of an organic compound given its structure and to be able to name the compound and write a reaction typical of the compound. 3
F. Gain a background sufficient to provide for success in more advanced courses in chemistry. G. Acquire the laboratory skills necessary to perform both quantitative and qualitative analyses in a laboratory setting OUTLINE WEEK LECTURE LAB 1 Chapter 14 - Chemical Equilibrium TECH 380 - Safety & Check-In MISC 877 - Graphical Analysis Using Excel 2 Chapter 14 (cont.) 3 Chapter 14 (cont.)
