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

Specific objectives will be presented for each unit.

Exams 1, 2, and 3

Three exams (Exams 1, 2, and 3) will be administered during the course. These exams will contain problems similar to those discussed in class and encountered on the problem sets. These exams are designed to take about fifty minutes. 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.  A missed Final Exam will result in course failure.

Exam Supplies: You may bring THREE OR MORE pencils or pens, a calculator, a good eraser, and a 3" x 5" notecard to each exam. The notecard can contain any information on one-side, however, it must contain only your name on the backside.  The card must be handwritten in your own writing.  The notecard will be collected at the conclusion of the exam and returned to you. 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 and table data—the contents of the data table will be discussed during lecture.

 

Problem Sets (From the Textbook)

Problems from the chapters have been assigned. These problems will be promptly collected, reviewed, scored, and returned.  Your instructor will be pleased to work through any problem at your request.


VIII. Challenged Students

A challenged student in this course who may be prevented from fully demonstrating their abilities due to the current facilities is encouraged to contact the instructor as soon as possible. We can discuss accommodations necessary to insure full participation and guarantee your educational opportunities.
