Course Description: 4 hours lecture, 1 hour problem solving, and 3 hours lab. This course is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in the Allied Health professions, but all interested students are welcome. After a review of organic chemistry, the principles of biochemistry will be discussed as they relate to medicine and health.

Prerequisites: Chem 101 or the equivalent with a grade of C or better. If you have not taken Chem 101, discuss your situation with the instructor immediately.

Required Materials:

Texts: General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, by Timberlake, Pearson/Benjamin Cummings publisher, 2nd ed., 2007.

Lab Safety Packet: Chem 201, Chem Dept. 2006

Biochemistry Class Notes & Labs, Dr. Annie Bianchino, Fall 2008.

Supplies: Scientific Calculator (with scientific notation and logs)

Other information and guidelines:

Cell phones, pagers, etc. Please turn off anything that may beep you and disturb the class. If you need to have it on, place it in vibrate mode and quietly leave the room if you need to answer. NO TEXTING IN CLASS.

Attendance is mandatory for success. Missing even 1 lecture may result in your being “hopelessly lost” and confused for the rest of the semester. Missing 2 or more lectures may result in the instructor dropping you from the course. However, do not rely on the instructor drop option. It is your responsibility to drop the class if you want to. (If you want me to drop you, let me know in writing).

Review old material as quickly as possible, preferably directly after class. Write abbreviated review notes for future study.

Write down notes as you study. Don’t just look over the material, writing helps you to understand it.

Preview new work, even if you simply look at the pictures and read section headings in the chapter and class notes.

Study on a regular basis, not just before exams. DO NOT CRAM!

Quizzes on lecture material will be announced the day before the quiz. The quiz may be given during lecture or lab hours.

Lab quizzes are pop quizzes, and will always be given at the start of lab. If you miss it, you get a zero.

Homework problems (from text or handouts or computer) will be assigned and these will be collected and graded (partly). Keep up to date with your homework assignments. LATE homework will NOT be accepted; you will receive a score of zero for late or missing homework. If you must miss class, get the assignment in to me earlier, or on that date (by 2 pm) via my mailbox.

Go to the tutoring center for (free) help as soon as you realize you need it.

Use the Natural Sciences computer lab chemistry tutorial software. Some homework may be assigned from these programs.

Use your time wisely, remember, there are no make up exams, and deadlines for handing in homework will be strictly enforced.

Be prepared for the laboratory experiment. Read the experiment before lab; it will save you time and frustration and you will get a better grade!

Organize a study group. However, always study alone first before meeting with the group. You will see how much better it works.

Finally, CHEATING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Do not collaborate with others on exams or any assignments that are graded. This includes lab reports. If cheating is suspected, a grade of zero will be given to all involved students. Cheating on an exam may result in receiving an F in the course and/or dismissal from Fullerton College. Using notes (cheat-sheets) or looking at others' papers is cheating. This is a serious offense.

*Regarding the 14th week drop deadline: This instructor firmly believes it is best to decide whether or not to remain enrolled in any course as early as possible during the semester. You should know way before the 14th week whether or not you should drop the course. For those of you who are transferring to Universities, they often have much shorter drop deadlines. To help you make the decision to drop, you should consider your performance on each quiz and especially exams. Discuss any concerns you have with me immediately so that we can determine how to remedy the situation. If you receive a graded exam/quiz that has “see me” written by the grade, then you must come to my office hours (or make other arrangements to meet with me) to discuss your poor performance on that exam. Do not be shy or embarrassed, I do this to identify reasons for the performance and to find ways to improve the situation before it gets out of hand (ie, you receive too many failing grades so that you cannot pass the course).

If you will write a report to replace a low exam grade, you are required to send your report in electronically to . This is a website that determines if you have plagiarized from a variety of sources, including other reports handed in by students (including your reports to other courses). See below.



In its commitment to academic honesty and accurate assessment of student work, Fullerton College uses to prevent and detect plagiarism (see Fullerton College Course Catalogue pg. 33 for a definition of plagiarism).

This instructor reserves the right to submit student assignments to to check for similarities between student submissions and the internet, various research databases, and the database of previous student submissions. Furthermore, this instructor may also submit essays to other instructors seeking plagiarism matches.

Students may be required to electronically submit their written work to the instructor or to , and by taking this course, students agree that all assignments are subject to plagiarism detection processes and plagiarism penalties (see College Catalogue pg. 33 for academic penalties).

Assignments submitted to by the student or instructor will become part of their database and will be used for plagiarism prevention and detection. Student papers, however, will remain the intellectual property of the author.
