STOICH. EXAM: Hour exams testing proficiency in general chemistry
problem-solving will be given up to three times. The student's highest grade will be averaged in as a lab report
grade. (Sept. 7, Oct. 26, Nov. 30).
QUIZZES: Several
quizzes covering reading, problems, lab and lecture discussions may be given at
random, but will be announced one lecture in advance.
HOMEWORK: Will
be assigned regularly, and will be reviewed during the recitation/quiz period.
Feel
free to consult instructor about any difficulties in solving problems.
LAB REPORTS: Reports are due on the deadline indicated
for each experiment (usually one week following the scheduled completion of the
experiment). Reports turned in after
the deadline will receive a late penalty of 10% plus one point per calendar day
late.
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT: Each student will develop a specific
chemical analysis, according to his or her interests. During the semester, the student will research the literature to
find available methods for executing this analysis, finally submitting a
"position paper" comparing the methods. In consultation with the instructor, one method will be chosen
and then carried out during four lab periods of the course. The project and
results will then be described in a formal written report and brief oral
report. Guidelines for this project
will be distributed throughout the semester.
GRADING SCHEME: Exam and Quizzes 400 (3 exams, plus quizzes, scaled to 400 pts)
Lab
Experiments 400 (7 reports, 1 Stoich. Exam, scaled to 400
pts)
Individual
Projects 200 (Position Paper, Final Report, Oral Report,
Lab Eval)
Extra
Credit 3
pts added for each Chem Colloquium attended (maximum of 21 pts.,
limited
to one grade change: eg., B+ to A-)
Letter
grades will be assigned on the following basis: 100-90%=A; 89-88=A-;
87-86=B+;
85-80=B; 79-78=B-; 77-76=C+; 75-68=C; 67-66=C-; 65-63=D+; 62-58=D; 57-56=D-;
