1 CHM 211 Organic Chemistry I Science Department Catalog Course Description: This is the first in a sequence of courses that includes nomenclature, structure and properties, and reaction mechanisms of basic organic chemistry. Lecture (3.0) Laboratory (6.0) Prerequisite(s): CHM 111 Credit Hours: Lecture: 3.0 Lab: 1.0 Departmental Website: D2L Brightspace Login Page: Departmental Assistant: Department Chair: Beltline Campus Contact: Ms. Pam McPherson (mcphersonp@midlandstech.edu) Dr. Geralyne Lopez-de-Victoria (lopezg@midlandstech.edu) Ms. Mitzi Trigg (triggm@midlandstech.edu) Textbook(s): Lecture: Organic Chemistry CHM 211 Special Edition for MTC or Organic Chemistry, Carey & Guiliano, 9 th edition (2014) Supplement: Student Solutions Manual for Carey=s Organic Chemistry text Lab: Making the Connections 2 A How-To Guide for Organic Chemistry Lab Techniques, Padias (2011) Additional Course Materials: 1. Scientific calculator 2. Safety glasses or goggles (lab only) Course Outcomes and Competencies: Students will learn chemical concepts and use scientific reasoning in their study of organic chemistry. Course Competency (Performance Measure): Students will demonstrate their knowledge of chemical concepts and their ability to use scientific reasoning by answering test questions based on the learning objectives. They will show this by: Demonstrating a basic knowledge of the structure and classification of chemical substances. Demonstrating an ability to balance chemical equations. Demonstrating a basic knowledge of chemical terminology. Demonstrating an ability to make calculations involving chemical mass and/or energy. Demonstrating an ability to predict trends. Measurement Instrument and Success Criterion: Students will complete a set of embedded test questions prepared by faculty, based on the above learning objectives for the course. The success criterion is 80% of students answering 75% of the test questions correctly. Program and course assessment activities are deployed and results collected in accordance with the College s assessment schedule. Refer to the information in the syllabus regarding the applicability of assessment activity for the current semester.

2 Course Attendance: Students will be allowed to miss twice the number of times lecture or laboratory meets per week. Since lecture meets 2 times per week, 4 absences are allowed. Since laboratory meets once a week, 2 absences are allowed. If the student misses more than 10 minutes of class by either arriving late or leaving early, then the student will be counted as absent; missing fewer than 10 minutes is a tardy. Three tardies count as one absence. Students adding courses after classes begin are responsible for work covered from the first day of class. All classes missed are counted as absences. Please note the following: You are responsible for all material and announcements presented, whether you are present or absent. Withdrawals: Students may withdraw from a course anytime before the last week of classes (see current semester college calendar, available on the MTC web site, for official dates). Students who wish to withdraw from a course must submit a withdrawal form to Records. The date of withdrawal may affect a number of things, including financial aid/tuition reimbursement, tuition refunds, and course grades. The effective date of withdrawal depends upon the date the withdrawal form is submitted to Records. It is the student s responsibility to be aware of relevant dates, to make an informed decision, and if necessary, to submit withdrawal forms in a timely fashion. For questions regarding the effect of withdrawal on financial aid or tuition reimbursement, students should contact Student Financial Services. Deadlines for tuition refunds may be found on the current semester college calendar, available on the MTC web site, or by calling the cashier s office. Students who withdraw before midterm will receive a grade of W. Students who withdraw after midterm and have an overall course average of 60% or greater will receive a grade of W. Students who withdraw after midterm with an overall course average below 60% will receive a grade of WF which is calculated as an F for GPA purposes. Grades of W or WF are also assigned when a student exceeds the maximum number of absences in a course. These grades are entered on the final grade roster along with the last date of attendance (LDA). Students should understand that the LDA does not constitute an effective date of withdrawal and should not consider a decision to stop attending class to be equivalent to withdrawal. No Shows: If you register for a course and decide not to attend for any reason, you must complete a drop form and process it through the student Records Office. You will not be automatically purged for non-attendance. If you do not submit a drop form, you will be responsible for course tuition and fees. By not officially dropping the course, you will incur a bill with the college that can only be addressed through the College s Finance Office. The college s refund policy and dates are posted each semester. Effective Spring 2015, the Student Ombudsman s office will no longer be the initial point of contact for requesting No Shows to be processed. Students who incur a bill must contact the Finance Office.

3 Administrative Drop Requests: A student requesting an Administrative Drop resulting from medical event, death of family member, and other extenuating circumstances experienced while enrolled at Midlands Technical College should be directed to the Student Ombudsman s office. Our policy dictates a request must be made no later than 30 days after the affected term. Supporting documentation is required and must be received before the request can be processed. Once the request form is received along with supporting documentation, it takes approximately three weeks for processing. As a result of an approved Administrative Drop Request, the student may be granted a refund of tuition and fees. Military Withdrawal: According to College Procedure , students having to withdraw from college because of Military Deployment (active duty personnel) while enrolled must complete a withdrawal form and submit to the Records Office along with a copy of military orders. Disabilities Statement: The staff of Counseling and Career Services works to ensure that all educational programming and services are accessible to otherwise qualified students with disabilities. If you have a concern regarding the accessibility of websites, instructional materials, online courses and other electronic or information technology please contact Counseling and Career Services. It is the student's responsibility to self-disclose as a student with a disability and to request accommodations prior to beginning a program or course. Please contact the staff of Counseling and Career Services at (AC) or (BC) or via at disability@midlandstech.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

If you are suspected of cheating, your instructor will inform you. You may explain or refute the allegation. If your instructor still thinks the charges are founded, you will be referred to the Office of the AVP, SDS. Documentation is submitted to the Office of the AVP, SDS, by your instructor. You will then meet with either Dr. Holloway or Mr. Hayden. After the meeting, you will receive a letter with the sanction grade of zero (0) and any other sanctions deemed appropriate. You will have the right to file an appeal. Once the hearing and the notice of the right to appeal have been completed, the instructor will be notified to apply the sanction grade of zero (0). Course Grading Scale: There will be 5 lecture tests and a mandatory, cumulative final exam to test student competency: (Test 1: Chs 1, 2 and 4.2; Test 2: Chs 3 & 4; Test 3: Chs 5 & 6; Test 4: Chs 10 & 9; Test 5: Chs 7, 8, ethers). If the score on the final exam is higher than any one test (including a missed test), then the cumulative final exam will count double replacing the missing or lowest test score. The

4 average of these six test scores comprises 75% of the course grade. Lab performance and notebook comprise 25% of the course grade. Generally, labs missed cannot be made up and count as a grade of zero. Grading Scale: A Superior Work B Good Work C Average Work D Below Average Work 0-59 F Unsatisfactory Work Department Chair Statement: The science department chair, coordinators and faculty are here to help you. If you are having any problems in your classes, please contact the people who can help you, beginning with your instructor.
