SLE133 Chemistry in Our World - Trimester 1, 2015
WELCOME
Chemistry is the science of all the kinds and states of matter in the universe, together with the laws
which govern their combination and/or change upon interaction. Chemists are intimately involved with the
myriad fields of human endeavour from archaeology to zoology, applying their skills and knowledge within
industrial, educational and research organisations. Our aim in Chemistry in Our World is to help you learn
the fundamental chemistry necessary for your future programs in cell and molecular biology,
biochemistry, biotechnology, environmental science, food science, forensic science, science education, vision
science, zoology and animal science. We hope that you share our interest and enthusiasm for chemistry, and
that your experience this year will prompt you to continue to explore the chemical sciences.

YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS A STUDENT IN THIS UNIT
26 February 2015
Page 2 of 14

As a student of Deakin University, you have rights in relation to your study in this unit for example, to be
respected, stimulated, challenged and valued as an individual; to be taught by competent, motivating and
accessible teachers who provide timely and thoughtful feedback to you on your work; and to have access to
review and appeal processes should they be required.
Importantly, you also have responsibilities as a member of the University community for example, to accept
and act on advice and feedback on your academic performance; to participate constructively in learning in
class and online; and to treat staff and other students with respect and courtesy.
For more information about your rights and obligations to other students and staff while studying this unit, go
to http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/enrolment-fees-money/rights-and-responsibilities.
IMPROVEMENTS IN RESPONSE TO STUDENT FEEDBACK

The assessment items are based on student feedback/evaluation from (other) previous level-1 chemistry units.
Students in those units recommended the on-line quizzes (one per week) and also that seminars (tutorials)
should be compulsory, which is why participation in seminar group work is an assessment item. We have also
maximised the number of seminar groups to minimise student numbers in each seminar.
Towards the end of the teaching period you may be emailed a link to the unit evaluation
survey (http://www.deakin.edu.au/evaluate/). I encourage you to participate, as constructive feedback from
students will assist us to make improvements to this unit where necessary.
PART 1: UNIT OVERVIEW

Unit code
SLE133
Unit title
Chemistry in Our World
Contact hours
3 x 1 hour class per week, 1 x 1 hour seminar per week, 3 x 3 hour practicals per trimester.
Study commitment
Students will on average spend 150 hours over the trimester undertaking the teaching, learning and
assessment activities for this unit. This will include 4 face-to-face contact hours per week (3 x 1-hour class and
1 x 1-hour seminar) as well as 3 x 3 hr practical classes over the trimester. Each student will undertake three
compulsory 3-hour laboratory classes. The laboratory classes require preparation time including answering
pre-laboratory questions which are part of the assessment. Passing the laboratory component is a hurdle
requirement for passing the unit. Weekly on-line quizzes are also part of the unit assessment and it is also
expected that students attempt weekly set seminar questions prior to the seminar.

DESCRIPTION OF UNIT
This introductory unit is intended for students with minimal chemistry background. You will learn about
substances in the world around us. All substances are made of atoms, molecules, and ions; these substances
change from one substance to another in chemical reactions. You will learn about chemical measurement and
how to perform calculations related to the amount of substance. You will learn about simple concepts of how
atoms are bonded together to form molecules, and ions, and how their bonding affects properties like
intermolecular interactions, boiling points, ease of evaporation and the ability of substances to dissolve in
water. You will apply these concepts of bonding, chemical change and measurement to the acidity and basicity
of substances and the formation of buffers.
This unit can be taken as a stand-alone unit for students who need some awareness of chemistry to broaden
their degree, or can be taken as a foundation for further studies in biochemistry, chemistry, and related areas
like food and nutrition, forensic science, molecular biology and science education.
Students who have successfully completed previous chemistry studies might choose an elective in place of this
unit.

UNIT LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

This unit will be taught by a combination of methods including classes, discussions, seminars, laboratory
classes, and problem solving. Reading materials will be available during trimester, supplemented by on-line
databases and Internet information sources (instruction will be provided as appropriate).
Chemistry is primarily an experimental science, and as such, laboratory skills are essential for a practising
chemist. Relevant communication skills will also be taught during the laboratory sessions. Each student will
undertake three compulsory 3-hour laboratory classes. Passing the laboratory component is a hurdle
requirement for passing the unit
Weekly on-line quizzes accessed through CloudDeakin are also part of the unit assessment. These quizzes will
also be available to be used for revision after the assessment deadline.
Seminar questions will be set prior to seminars and it is expected students attempt these questions before the
seminars so they can participate in the group discussion. Also, note that some seminar sessions may be held
26 February 2015
Page 6 of 14

before the first class.
Students are also encouraged to contribute to on-line discussions through CloudDeakin which is powerful
means of communicating and engaging with fellow classmates and lecturers.

PART 2: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LEARNING AT DEAKIN

ASSESSMENT
Referencing
deakin.edu.au/referencing
Referencing is used to provide acknowledgment of sources of information, to avoid plagiarism, and is usually
important for placing your work within a body of knowledge.
The following Library website provides a virtual tutorial on referencing and has an online quiz:
www.deakin.edu.au/library/tutorials/smartsearcher/
Avoiding plagiarism and collusion
Plagiarism is the use of other people's words, ideas, research findings or information without
acknowledgement, that is, without indicating the source. These sources may include other students, internet
sites, textbooks or journals. Plagiarism is a very serious offence and Deakin University has procedures and
penalties to deal with instances of plagiarism and with collusion (acting with another person with the intention
to deceive, for example submitting someone elses work). This link provides further information on how to
avoid plagiarism and collusion: http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-support/referencing/plagiarism
Penalties for plagiarism are detailed in Schedule A to the Student Academic Misconduct procedure. Further
information can be found in Regulation 04.1(2) - Academic Misconduct
Submission of Assignments
Due date interpretation
Campus units
The published due date is the last day on which an assessment task must reach the designated University
submission point.
Cloud (online) units
Where assignments are submitted via the postal or courier system, the post mark or courier receipt date is
regarded as the date the assignment is submitted by the student.
Please refer to the Assignment Submission section in your Unit Guide for specific details on assignment
submission.
Extensions
All applications for extensions must be made directly to the Unit Chair 3 days prior to the due date. Please
complete the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment Assignment Extension Request form,
available via http://www.deakin.edu.au/sebe/students.
Further information regarding extensions and rescheduling of assessment tasks is available via
http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/assessments/special-consideration
Penalties for late submission
Students who do not submit by the due date will have their mark reduced. The Faculty standard for this states:
26 February 2015
Page 11 of 14

Work submitted late without documented approval of the Unit Chair or Lecturer will be penalised.
Assignments that are submitted after the submission date will be subject to a mark penalty equal to 10% of the
marks per day of the marks available for the piece of work, up to and including three days after the published
due date. Assignments submitted more than three days after the published submission date will not be marked.
Therefore, for a project worth 15 marks, one day late will reduce your mark by 1.5/15. Two days late, you lose
3/15. Three days late and you lose 4.5/15. After that the project will not be marked.
Results common questions
If you have any questions or concerns about your assessment, or about the mark you are awarded for an
individual assessment task, it is best to speak to your Unit Chair or Unit Coordinator in the first instance.
There is also a formal process to apply for a review of your overall unit result, including assessment in any part
of the unit, through the relevant Faculty Committee. Applications must be submitted within five working days
of the release of results.
For Faculty Committee contacts and the answers to some common questions about results, go to:
www.deakin.edu.au/students/assessments/common-results-questions
Special consideration
Where circumstances outside your control prevent you from undertaking or completing an assessment task or
end-of-unit examination at the scheduled time, you may apply for special consideration. If granted, special
consideration will provide the opportunity for you to take additional time to complete the assessment task, or
to complete the task at another time. Applications may only be made on one or more of the following grounds:
an acute medical condition; compassionate reasons; or hardship/trauma. See
www.deakin.edu.au/students/assessments/special-consideration
Academic progress
Academic progress refers to a student's progress towards successful completion of the academic requirements
of the Course in which they are enrolled. Information on academic progress processes, and what to expect if
your progress is unsatisfactory, can be found here:
