III. Purpose

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.


IV. Broad Objectives

Each student will be able to competently discuss the concepts and principles discussed throughout the term.


V. Specific Objectives

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.


VI. Resources and Materials

Lecture Textbook Kotz, Treichel, Weaver, General Chemistry or Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity (Bundle), 6th Edition, Thompson, 2007 Required
Calculator Scientific Calculator Required
Solutions Manual Solutions Manual for Kotz, Treichel, Weaver, Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity (Bundle), 6th Edition, Thompson, 2007 Optional


 


VII. Exams 1 and 2; the Final Exam; OWL; and Quizzes.

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.  A missed exam will receive a score of zero.

Exam Supplies: Have a calculator, a 3" x 5" notecard with handwritten notes on one side, a cover sheet which will be provided before the exams, and a periodic table.

The Final Exam

        Exam Supplies: Have a calculator, a 3" x 5" notecard with handwritten notes on two sides, a cover sheet which will be provided before the final exam, and a periodic table.

OWL

Problems from OWL are assigned.  Scores are assigned based on the number of assignments mastered.

Quizzes

There will be quizzes offered during the term. These will be administered during specified weeks. A missed quiz will receive a score of zero. There is no possibility for a make-up quiz, however, your lowest quiz score will be dropped.


VIII. A Faculty Responsibility

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.


VII. Specific Objectives

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.


IX. Student Resources

Your success in Chemistry 122 is very important to me!  You have the following resources to help you with your study:

    -Lecture discussions
    -Recitations
    -Office Hours
    -Mole Hole

    -Textbook reading
    -Worksheets
   
-Online resources
    -OWL
 

 


X. Time for Chemistry 122

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 122 is a five credit course.  Generally, one credit is given for three hours per week--in and out of class--of work.  We recommend you work on Chemistry 122 outside of class 15 hours per week.  The following table is provided to help you gauge your study time.  Enter the hours you spend on Chemistry 122 each day and total them up for the week.
