Completion and problems. Periodic tables and calculators may be used on the test.
Homework: Throughout the semester problems will be assigned in order for you to better understand
the concepts and math involved. This homework will not be graded, however you will be able to
use these assignments on quizzes. The problems assigned will be similar to those which will be
on the exams. We will discuss the problems in class or you can see one of the chemistry tutors
or myself for help.
Quizzes: will be used to check for understanding. Make-up quizzes are not allowed.
Laboratory: The laboratory portion of the course provides an opportunity to integrate lecture
concepts with observable activities and is critical to understanding chemical concepts. Safety
goggles are available for purchase in the bookstore. Attendance in lab is mandatory and the
instructor must validate that you actually assisted in the collection of data. Borrowed results
are not acceptable and all parties involved will receive a grade deduction. Lab reports are due at
the beginning of the next lab class. Late lab reports will not be accepted. Failure to wear safety
goggles, not following instructions or using unsafe procedures is unacceptable and may result in
your dismissal from further labs.
