1 Instructor Contact Information Dr. Maurice Odago 234 Physical Sciences Building Phone Office Hours: MW 12:15pm-1:15pm Chemistry 111- SUMMER 2012 General Chemistry I Syllabus SUNY Oneonta Lecture PSCI 122 MTWR 10:15am 12:15 pm This course is the first part of a General Chemistry course intended for science and non-science majors. The course covers the topics of atomic and molecular structure, chemical reactions and physical properties of matter. Course Materials from Campus Bookstore: General Chem. Enhanced Owl W E-Book 6 Months, Ebbing ISBN Edition 9 Laboratory Safety Goggles Hayden-McNeil Student Lab Notebook (with carbonless copies) Scientific Calculator The text book is available at the campus bookstore or you may get an electronic copy at: Course Webpage Course materials such as course schedule, PowerPoint downloads, video lectures, and laboratory experiment downloads are found on the course webpage: Laboratory materials will be available online at: The printable copy of lab manual is available on the course website. It is recommended that you print this PDF copy and bind it of file it in one folder at the start. OWL HOMEWORK Homework will use the OWL system served by the University of Massachusetts. The system is mastery based, meaning that you can work on an assignment as long as you want and try questions as many times as you want, until succeeding. There is no penalty for getting an answer wrong. There is only a penalty for not eventually getting it right. The login address is: General Chemistry/UMass Amherst Your login is SUCO + your address up to sign. So, mine is SUCOodagomo. Your password is your A00 student number, including the A. Assignments will be made weekly and will be due at midnight on Sunday. 1

2 Grading 2 Hour Exams, 100 points each = 200 points Comprehensive Final Exam = 150 points OWL Homework = 100 points Laboratory = 100 points Quizes =100 points Participation =50 points Total Points = 700 points Letter grade ranges on a percentage basis are: A % C % A % C % B % D % B % E Below 64% B % C % There will be NO make-ups for exams, quizzes and labs. Any missed exams, quizzes or labs will result to a zero grade for the respective activity. Exceptions may be possible only in extraordinary circumstances, where documentary proofs will be required. Laboratory Laboratory work is an integral and essential part of this course and will represent a significant factor in your final grade (see above). You will not be granted credit for this course unless you satisfactorily complete the laboratory work; however, if you have taken the course previously at SUCO and completed the laboratory work, a waiver may be granted. If you think that you might qualify for such a waiver, discuss your situation with the lecture instructor as soon as possible. You will be expected to attend every scheduled meeting of your laboratory section. If you are forced to miss one of the labs due to circumstances beyond your control, the instructor will attempt to arrange for you to attend some other laboratory section during the same week. If it is impossible to reschedule the experiment you should discuss methods of making up the work with your instructor. Students will not be permitted to work in any laboratory section other than that for which they are scheduled. Students must not work in the laboratory with direct faculty supervision. Unless you are informed otherwise, laboratory reports will be due the first lecture meeting after the completion of the experiment. In order to protect your vision you will be required to wear safety glasses while you are in the laboratory. If you violate this rule you become a hazard to yourself as well as those around you. Therefore, you may be asked to leave the laboratory if you do not wear safety glasses. Laboratory reports are to represent your own original work. You will sometimes work with other students to collect data, but your written report, including calculations 2

3 must be your own work. Additional safety information is found in the Departmental Policy below. Emergency Evacuation/Shelter-in-Place Procedures In the event of an emergency evacuation (i.e., fire or other emergency), our laboratory classes meeting in the physical sciences building are directed to reassemble at the Chase Gymnasium so that all persons can be accounted for. Evacuation from our lecture hall in IRC is to the Fine Arts Theater. Complete details of the emergency evacuation, shelterin-place, and other emergency procedures can be found at Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Policy on Course Attendance, Participation and Behavior 1. Students are expected to attend all scheduled course sessions and should be prepared by reading in advance any relevant material assigned or provided. Participation (defined by interacting with the instructor, working problems at the board, individually or in groups, using personal response Clicker systems and other mechanisms defined in the syllabus) is expected. 2. Students are reminded that instructors are not required to accept assignments submitted late, except in instances allowed according to College policies. College Policies as defined in the Student Code of Conduct apply to lecture, recitation and laboratory portions of all courses. 3. Laboratories are an integral part of education in chemistry courses. As a result, participation in all laboratories scheduled for a course is expected. Unless alternate activities are scheduled, students can expect that their laboratory section will meet each week, and failure to attend laboratories may lead to failure in the course. 4. The laboratory for a course must be passed, normally by earning 60% of the available score, in order to pass the course. Exceptions may be noted in syllabus. 5. Students are expected to bring to laboratory the laboratory manual (or printout of the experiment), a laboratory notebook (if required), a calculator, ruler or other materials as specified by the instructor or in the syllabus. 6. Students are not allowed to work in the laboratory without direct faculty supervision. 7. Unless announced in advance, SAFETY GOGGLES (WHICH PROVIDE A COMPLETE SEAL AROUND THE EYES AND ARE EQUIPPED WITH INDIRECT VENTS) ARE REQUIRED TO BE WORN AT ALL TIMES IN THE LABORATORY. STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN SAFETY GOGGLES. 8. Open-toed shoes (e.g. sandals, Birkenstocks, flip-flops, etc), unrestrained long-hair, excessively loose clothing and other items which may be easily ignited or snag on apparatus are not allowed. 9. Food, drink, candy, cosmetics, tobacco products, etc. are not allowed in the laboratory. 10. Students are expected to be attentive to the material and any experiments and apparatus in the laboratory. The following must be turned off and stored away from the laboratory bench while in laboratories: Portable music players (e.g. ipods, MP3 players and the like) Cellular telephones, pagers, text messaging devices and the like 3

4 Other portable electronic devices as defined by the laboratory instructor 11. Horseplay, practical jokes, goofing around or interfering with other students work is not allowed in the laboratory. 12. Students should not expect to be able to makeup missed laboratory sessions or experiments. If a makeup session is possible, it will be at the discretion of the laboratory instructor and will normally be during the same week as the missed laboratory section. 13. Students will not be permitted to work in any laboratory section other than that they are registered for unless they have the written approval of both their regular instructor AND the instructor in the section they wish to enter. 4
