GRADING/EVALUATION Midterm Exams (3) Quizzes (online) Final Exam ACS Standardized 300 points 50 points 100 points 450 points Total

Exams: Three non-cumulative exams worth 100 points each. The final exam will be a cumulative multiple-choice ACS standardized exam. You must present your Student ID on exam days. Tests will not be administered without a student ID. Makeup exams will not be given in the course. If you miss an exam (with a documented excuse) your missed exam grade will be based on the average of the remaining two midterms and final exam. Clean up Quizzes After each midterm exam a 5 point clean up quiz based on the material of the exam will be available on Blackboard. The points from this quiz will be added to the exam score. Makeup cleanup quizzes will not be given. Quizzes Quizzes will be administered on Blackboard

Grading Scale A B+ C+ D F 93-100 % 87-89 % 77-79 % 60-69 % 59 % and below AB C 90-92 % 83-86 % 70-76 % B80-82 %

Attendence Requirements In the event that a lecture is missed, the student is responsible for all material conveyed in lecture including supplemental materials, handouts, and announcements. It is your responsibility to read the text, keep up with assignments, keep up to date on exam dates, quiz dates, and obtain additional help from the instructor and tutors. It is up to the discretion of the professor to decide if, when, where, and how the missed work is completed. Withdrawal It is the students responsibility to withdraw, if necessary, before the final withdrawal date. Failure to withdraw before the final withdrawal date will result in a course grade of F. Withdrawal Deadlines January 24th , 2014 without a W Grade March 28th , 2014 with a W Grade Incomplete Grades: An "I" grade can be assigned by the instructor when all three of the following conditions are met: 1. Student is regularly attending/participating in the class and has the potential to pass the course; 2. Student has not completed all assignments and has stopped attending/participating for reasons deemed justified by the instructor; 3. Student has notified the instructor prior to the end of the grading period. If all three conditions listed above are not met, the instructor will assign a letter grade based on completed work. Please note that an "I" automatically becomes an "F" if not resolved by the last day of instruction of the following semester. (From CSU official grading criteria) Disruptive Behavior: In order to create and maintain an effective learning environment, students will be asked to refrain from unnecessary talking. These conversations are a distraction not only to the students in the vicinity, but also to the instructor. In addition, the use of laptops, cell phones, and i-pods will not be allowed in the classroom. These cause audio and/or visual distractions. If a student needs to find diversion from the class work, that student should stay out of the classroom and allow other students to better focus on the lecture. A warning will be given, the first time, to any student who disrupts the class. If the same student engages in repeated disruptions, that student will be scheduled to meet with Ms.Valerie Hinton Hannah, Student Life Judicial Officer, to discuss the issue. CELL PHONE AND LAPTOP POLICY The use of cellular phones and laptops are not permitted in the classroom. Cell phones must be turned off or placed in silent mode.

Blackboard Blackboard will be used in this course for administering quizzes, posting solutions to problems, videos, announcements, exam keys and videos. Details will be given in lecture. SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION (SI) This course offers Supplemental Instruction for students who wish to participate. An SI Leader (a fellow CSU student) has been assigned to this course and will hold regular sessions outside of class time to allow students to review material discussed in class, discuss and add to lecture notes, apply reading comprehension strategies, get help with assignments, prepare for the tests, etc. These regular sessions will be announced in class. Research suggests that students who attend early and often can score up to one letter grade higher than if they did not attend an SI session. Students who cannot attend the scheduled meeting times but wish to make use of Supplemental Instruction should contact the SI Leader or the Tutoring & Academic Success Center (216-6872012, tutoring@csuohio.edu). Academic Dishonesty Any student caught cheating on exams, quizzes, or take-home assignments will receive a grade of F for the course. Students will be required to sign an academic integrity statement to be submitted with selected take-home assignments. Students with Disabilities Educational access is the provision of classroom accommodations, auxiliary aids and services to ensure equal educational opportunities for all students regardless of their disability. Any student who feels he or she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the Office of Disability Services at (216)687-2015. The Office is located in UC304. Accommodations need to be requested in advance and will not be granted retroactively. (From CSU Catalog) Course Expectations You will need to devote a considerable amount of time studying chemistry outside of class. Generally, about 3 hours for every hour you spend in class. It is recommended that you 1) read the text before coming to class, 2) take notes in class, 3) after class, reread the text, notes, and do the homework problems. If you encounter difficulties with the HW problems, refer to the text and notes or obtain assistance from the instructor or tutors. Do not wait until the evening before an exam. In this course, emphasis is placed on problem solving. Solving problems requires knowledge of basic principles, terms, and facts. Because chemistry is a cumulative subject, you will need to keep up with reading and assignments. What you learn later in the semester is based on the material that you learned earlier in the semester.
