GRADING Course Points The following is the distribution of possible points in the course: Sapling Homework Assignments scaled to 150 pts Midterm Exams 3 @ 100 points each 300 pts Comprehensive Final Exam 150 pts Total: 600 pts Homework: Graded Homework will be assigned through Sapling Learning, an online homework system. These assignments should be viewed as a minimum. If you expect to earn at least a B grade in the course you should complete all homework in each book chapter. The Solutions Manual is a guide to the solution of most problems in the text. This may be purchased in the bookstore or online through websites like Amazon. You should try to solve homework problems yourself before looking at the solutions. Sampling Learning is an online/web-based learning system. You need to have a registered account to use it. Website access can be purchased online. Homework involving the Sapling Learning system will account for 25% (150 pts) of the total grade. The due dates for each assignment can be found within the Sapling Learning homework system. You are responsible for finding and completing your work on time. Do not wait until the night the homework is due to complete the assignment. Do not email your instructor the night the homework is due ask for an extension. Technical problems with your computer, Sapling Learning or your internet connection will not be grounds for an extension. Please do your work well in advance of the due date. Examinations are given as listed on the schedule. Make-up exams will not be given for any circumstance. Excused absences will be given only to students who miss a midterm exam under the conditions listed below. If an excuse is acceptable, your final course grade will be computed based on all work except that exam or a make up exam will be given (instructors discretion). The final exam cannot be excused. For all exams you must show a photo identification card. You will not be permitted to use a calculator nor have a cell phone on your desk. There will be three 50 min. multiple choice mid-term examinations (50% of the grade, 100 points each exam) on 09-23-2015, 10-26-2015, and 12-04-2015. The comprehensive final exam multiple choice (150 points) for the course will be administered on Monday, Dec 14 nd, 2015 from 8:00-10:00 a.m. Midterm Grading: You can calculate your midterm grade yourself at any time by dividing the points you earn 3
by the points possible up to that point in time. Multiply by 100 and compare to the grading scale. That s your midterm grade! Final Grading Grading Scale: A = 100 87% B- = 74 73% D+ = 59 57% A- = 86 85% C+ = 72 70% D = 56 52% B+ = 84 82% C = 69 63% D- = 51 50% B = 81 75% C- = 62 60% F = 49 0% COMMUNICATION GUIDELINES You are welcome to communicate with your Professor during office hours or by email. I will attempt to respond to emails within 24 h of receiving the email. I receive multiple emails I may send out a mass email via Blackboard rather than reply directly to your queries. You will need to use your university email account. You are encouraged to seek answers to your own questions on your own by asking classmates or using the discussion board in Blackboard. Technical problems related to Sapling Learning are best answered by Sapling Learning staff. Ask questions in Recitation or in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department Help Center before sending your queries to your Professor. Remember to be professional when sending email and communicating electronically. STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES Chemistry Help Center: There are several types of class help available for you. Make note of the instructor's office hours and use them. Also, the Chemistry Department has a Help Center located in Bowman Oddy 2043. Graduate Teaching Assistants are available throughout the day to assist you with your problems. The help center is usually staffed from 8am to 8pm Monday Thursday and 8am 4pm on Fridays. Recitation Course: A one-credit-hour Recitation course (CHEM 2430). Is offered this semester; it will meet at various times on Thursdays and will serve to supplement the learning in CHEM 2410 through group work and discussions. If you have any questions, please see Pamela Samples in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry office as soon as possible to sign up! Blackboard is a course management system provided by the University of Toledo. Lecture outlines and practice exam information will be available on this site. The system also permits you to check your grades at any time and to email your instructor or other students in the class. The Blackboard site can be accessed https://blackboard.utdl.edu/. Your access code is your UTAD user name and password. Drop, Withdrawal and Incomplete Grades Course drop and withdrawal procedures have been set by the University faculty. Dropped courses do not appear on your transcript. The deadline for dropping is 09/07 /2015 (web). If you are in a course after that date, there will be a grade on your transcript (A-F, W, or Incomplete). You may withdraw from the course and receive a grade of W. The deadline for withdrawal is 10/10/2015. Check with the Registrar, the dates vary by the method of Dropping or Withdrawing. W s do not affect your GPA. For both dropping the course or withdrawing you should go to the Registrar's Office in Rocket Hall. You do not need your instructor s permission for either process. Please note that course registration changes might change your financial aid. 4
On two occasions during the term, instructors are asked to report student attendance. These reports can affect your financial aid, so you will want to be sure that you are in attendance for all classes. However, you will remain enrolled in the class independent of these reports. That is, you remain registered for the class and will receive a final grade unless you take the action of dropping (by 09/07 /2015 ) or withdrawing (by 10/10/2015). Note: If you drop or withdraw from CHEM 2410, you must also drop/withdraw from the lab course CHEM 2460 because you need to know the lecture material to be in lab. A course grade of Incomplete is given only to those who have completed all but a small percentage of course requirements for an acceptable reason. Incompletes are rarely given. COURSE SCHEDULE (TENTATIVE) The table below will give you a general idea of our pace throughout the course, it subject to change. Be sure to note announcements which may revise this schedule. BE SURE THAT YOUR TRAVEL AND EMPLOYMENT PLANS DO NOT CONFLICT WITH THIS SCHEDULE INCLUDING THE FINAL EXAM.
