To enable students to acquire a fundamental understanding of chemical reactions and scientific measurements and to become familiar with the principles, laws, and equations that govern our understanding of chemical combination.
Each student will be able to competently discuss the concepts and principles discussed throughout the term.
Each student will be able to competently discuss the concepts and solve problems relating to: matter and measurement; the language of chemistry; stoichiometry; solutions and concentration; atomic structure; electron configuration and the periodic table; and chemical bonds.
| Lecture Textbook | Kotz, Treichel, Weaver, General Chemistry or Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity (Bundle), 6th Edition, Thompson, 2007 | Required |

Exams 1 and 2
Two midterm exams (Exams 1 and 2) will be administered during the course. These exams will contain problems similar to those discussed in class and encountered on the problem sets, the quizzes, and OWL. These exams are administered during the 80 minute evening exam periods. Because exams are promptly marked and returned to students, no make-up exams can be administered. Please see the instructor as soon as possible if a documented emergency prevents you from completing an exam. A missed exam will receive a score of zero.
Exam Supplies: Bring THREE number two pencils, a calculator without a cover, a 3" x 5" notecard with handwritten notes on one side, your name and TA's name written on the back side, and a good eraser to each exam. YOU MUST BRING YOUR OSU CARD TO THE EXAM AND PRESENT IT TO THE PROCTOR UPON COMPLETION OF THE EXAM. DO NOT FORGET YOUR OSU CARD. THIS IS YOUR FORM OF I.D. AND THE PROCTOR MAY NOT ACCEPT YOUR EXAM WITHOUT THIS FORM OF I.D. If you bring notes, papers, or books to the exam, place them in a sealed pack and place the pack at the front of the classroom. You will be provided with a periodic table.
The Final Exam
Please be on time. A late student may disturb the other students. The final exam is comprehensive and will be administered during the 110 minute period. A missed final exam will receive a score of zero.
Exam Supplies: Bring THREE number two pencils, a calculator, a 3" x 5" notecard with handwritten notes on two sides, your name and TA's name written in the bottom left on one side, and a good eraser to each exam. YOU MUST BRING YOUR OSU CARD TO THE EXAM AND PRESENT IT TO THE PROCTOR UPON COMPLETION OF THE EXAM. DO NOT FORGET YOUR OSU CARD. THIS IS YOUR FORM OF I.D. AND THE PROCTOR MAY NOT ACCEPT YOUR EXAM WITHOUT THIS FORM OF I.D. If you bring notes, papers, or books to the exam, place them in a sealed pack and place the pack at the front of the classroom. You will be provided with a periodic table.
Problem Sets
Problems from within and the end of each chapter have been recommended. These problems will not be graded, however, your teacher's assistant will be excited to work through any problem at your request.
OWL
Problems from OWL are assigned. Scores are assigned based on the number of assignments mastered.
Recitation Quizzes
There will be twelve recitation quizzes offered during the term. These will be administered in recitation during weeks 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10. A missed quiz will receive a score of zero. There is no possibility for a make-up quiz, however, your lowest two quiz scores will be dropped.
Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any emergency medical information the instructor should know of, or who need special arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with the instructor as early as possible, no later than the first week of the term.
Each student will be able to competently discuss the concepts and solve problems relating to: matter and measurement; the language of chemistry; stoichiometry; solutions and concentration; atomic structure; electron configuration and the periodic table; and chemical bonds.
Your success in Chemistry 121 is very important to me! You have the following resources to help you with your study:
-Lecture meetings
-Textbook reading
-Recitation sessions
-Mole Hole tutors (see schedule)
-OWL
-Instructor office hours
Your success in Chemistry may be dependent on the amount of time you devote to the mastery of the material we discuss during the term. Chemistry 121 is a five credit course. Generally, one credit is given for three hours per week--in and out of class--of work. We meet for lecture three hours per week, and we meet for recitation two hours per week. We recommend you work on Chemistry 121 outside of class ten hours per week. The following table is provided to help you gauge your study time. Enter the hours you spend on Chemistry 121 each day and total them up for the week.
