Course Organization for Chemistry 51

 

Prerequisite. The prerequisite for Chemistry 51 is Chemistry 2.

 

Grading and Examination Practices.

The Final Grade. The grade will be determined as follows: Recitation Grade 25%; Laboratory Grade 25%; Lecture Examinations 25%; Final Examination 25%

Final letter grades for the course will be assigned by a course grading committee. It is the recitation instructor's responsibility to keep a record of all of the student's grades. To receive your grade after the course ends, give a stamped post card or envelop to your recitation teacher.

 

Recitation Grade. This grade will be based on the student's average score on recitation quizzes and may also include the instructor's evaluation of the student's class participation. All recitations must be attended. Absence from recitation is subject to penalties.

 

Laboratory Grade. The laboratory instructor is responsible for determining the laboratory grade and will include his assessment of your advance preparation, comprehension of the experiment, aptitude for laboratory work, and your compliance with safety regulations among several other criteria which will be explained to you by the laboratory instructor. Penalties will be assigned for failure to attend lab faithfully and do all of the assigned experiments.

 

Lecture Examinations. There will be two uniform lecture examinations given to students in all sections. Questions based on the reading assignments, the lectures, and the laboratory experiments will be included. The examinations will be held during the regular lecture hour. The dates of these examinations are shown in the lecture schedule; the location of the examination rooms will be announced by the lecturer.

 

Final Examination. This examination will cover the assignments of the ENTIRE semester including the laboratory work. There are no exemptions from the final examination.

 

Illness During Examinations. If you become ill during any examination and feel that you are unable to complete it, notify a proctor immediately, write the words "I am sick", and hand in you paper. Your paper will not be graded and you will be considered absent from the examination. If you remain until the end of the exam, your paper will be graded and your grade will not be changed by a later claim of illness.

 

Absence from Examinations. No make-up examinations are given to students who are absent from the lecture examinations. Students who miss one of the exams with a valid excuse, will be assigned a score for the exam missed on the basis of their performance on the other lecture exam and on the final. A grade of zero for lecture will be given if both lecture exams are missed.

In the event of absence from the final exam, you will need to apply to the academic Advisement Center for permission to take the make-up final examination given the following semester. If the recitation instructor has recorded an absent 50 grade or lower, permission will be denied.

Cheating. Any student found cheating on any quizzes or exams will be given a failing grade.                                                                        7/05/01

Laboratory Assignments

 

Read Chapter 1 of the Laboratory Manual before coming to the laboratory for the first time. You must be familiar with the safety precautions (section 1.2), the rules for working in the laboratory (section 1.3), and you are expected to have a pair of safety glasses, a padlock, and a hard bound laboratory note-book with numbered pages. Ten other items which should be brought from home such as matches, towel, soap, band aids etc. are listed in section 1.8 on pages 9-10. Students are expected to have part of the notebook write-up done in advance.Otherwise the instructor may ask the student to leave the laboratory.
