This is the online homework system for this class. You can access the site by going to the link below. You will need your student ID#, the course ID#: MCGROVE13862, and an access code OR credit card for payment. Please be sure to enter your student ID# correctly, as this is how Mastering Chemistry and D2L will communicate. If you have your book, you can purchase a 6-month access, without the e-text for about $60. Catalytics: This program is purchased for a small fee once you have gained access to Mastering Chemistry.A device that is able to connect wirelessly to the Internet. This can include such items as a smart phone, iPad, iPod touch, other types of tablets, or a laptop. You will need this device each day in lecture. Attendance:Attendance will not be taken, however, all announcements and material will be presented during the normally scheduled class period. If the student is gone, it is the their responsibility to find out what was missed from a classmate. It is not the instructor’s responsibility to “fill the student in” on what they missed.Academic Integrity: Student Academic Integrity and Appeals:? The University has a clear expectation for academic integrity and does not tolerate academic dishonesty.? University Policy 2.4 sets forth the definitions of academic dishonesty, which includes but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, misrepresentation, and other forms of dishonesty relating to academics.? The Policy and its Procedures also set forth how charges of academic dishonesty are handled at the University.? Academic Dishonesty is strictly proscribed and if found may result in student discipline up to and including dismissal from the University. Academic integrity is the maintenance of professional standards in writing, assessment, behavior, ethics, research and all University activities. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Written and other works as well as other academic activities by students are expected to be the products of their own efforts. Dishonesty, deception, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, complicity, multiple submission and copyright/fair use abuse will not be tolerated.Students are encouraged to work together, however; students must submit their own original work. It is unacceptable for two or more students to collaborate in the creation of an assignment and each present the same material. This will be considered an act of deception.Extracting the work of another, either partially or entirely, without reference citation is plagiarism. Since quotation marks are reserved for profound statements and are unacceptable for use in reports, they may not be used in direct quotations or in lieu of paraphrasing material. In either event, the material must be referenced. Course Goals and Student Learning Outcomes:This course fulfills the System General Education Goal #6. Students will understand the fundamental principles of the natural sciences and apply scientific methods of inquiry to investigate the natural world. As a result of taking this course, students will: 1.Demonstrate the scientific method in a laboratory experience.To meet this outcome, students will apply the scientific method to solve and explore problems in lecture and the laboratory in organic chemistry and biochemistry.This outcome will be assessed through exams, quizzes, and assignments.The process of lectures, active learning, team-based learning, practice exercises, and reflective questions will be used.2.Gather and critically evaluate data using the scientific method.To meet this outcome, students will study and solve problems where they will draw conclusions from lecture material based on sound scientific concepts and principles.Students will evaluate the validity of the data through independent and collaborative work, as well as through written expression.This outcome will be assessed through exams, quizzes, and assignments.The process of lectures, active learning, team-based learning, practice exercises, and reflective questions will be used. 3.Identify and explain the basic concepts, terminology and theories of the selected natural sciences. To meet this outcome, students will study and solve problems where they will draw conclusions from lecture material based on sound scientific concepts and principles.Students will evaluate the validity of the data through independent and collaborative work, as well as through written expression.This outcome will be assessed through exams, quizzes, and assignments.The process of lectures, active learning, team-based learning, practice exercises, and reflective questions will be used. 4.Apply selected natural science concepts and theories to contemporary issues.Each course meeting this goal includes the following student learning outcomes: Required: #1-4. To meet this outcome, students will study and solve problems where they will draw conclusions from lecture material based on sound scientific concepts and principles.Students will evaluate the validity of the data through independent and collaborative work, as well as through written expression.This outcome will be assessed through exams, quizzes, and assignments.The process of lectures, active learning, team-based learning, writing exercises, and reflective questions will be used. All student-learning outcomes will be assessed by the use of multiple exams, practice exercises, assignments, and in-class participation. Methods of Evaluation:There will be five in-class hour exams, and a final exam, which is cumulative. There will also be homework that will be due at the end of each chapter. Each in-class exam will be worth 100 points each. The final exam is comprehensive and will be worth 200 points. GradingUpon grading, exam scores will be posted in D2L for each student. The homework scores will be available for students to view within Mastering Chemistry. If you see an error in the scores posted on D2L or Mastering Chemistry, you have one week from the time the assignment was due, or the score gets posted into D2L to notify the instructor of the mistake. Each homework assignment in Mastering Chemistry will be graded as follows:You will have up to 7 attempts of each homework problem.If you earn at least an 85% on each homework set, you will receive the entire 100% of that homework set grade.Exams: There are no make-up exams. If you will be gone for a university-sponsored event, you must take the exam prior to leaving for the event. No exams will be given after the class has taken the exam. No early final exams will be allowed, so please plan accordingly. The instructor will not accept any late work, and there are no make-up exams or assignments. Please plan accordingly. No extra credit will be given.AssessmentPointsSyllabus Quiz 25Homework2755 exams (100 pts each)500Final Exam200Total: 1000Grading Scale:Points%Grade900 - 100090.0%A800 - 899 80.0%B700 - 79970.0%C600 - 69960.0%D599 and below<60.0%FEmail Correspondence: All email correspondence will be done with the home university assigned email, NOT through D2L.

Under Board of Regents and University policy, student academic performance shall be evaluated solely on an academic basis and students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study. Students who believe that an academic evaluation is unrelated to academic standards, but related instead to judgment of their personal opinion or conduct, should first contact the dean of the college that offers the class to initiate a review of the evaluation.Late Class Statement:All members of the class should make every effort to arrive on time. In the event that I am going to be late, due to circumstances beyond my control, I will, if possible, notify the department and ask that someone be sent to apprise you of the situation. If such notification is not possible, please remain in the class for 15 minutes beyond the scheduled start time. If I have not yet arrived, and if no emissary of the department has informed you otherwise, class will be cancelled and you will be free to leave.
