ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

The College of DuPage is committed to the principles of honesty and integrity in all aspects of college life; consequently, academic dishonesty is a serious offense. Any violation requires an appropriate disciplinary response. Students should be aware that offenses of academic dishonesty can seriously affect a student’s record. Students should be familiar with the Board Policy 5050 relating to academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes any instance of the representation of another’s work as one’s own without reference.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The following represent basic areas of understanding that the student should have as objectives for this course:

  1. Underlying concepts of chemistry, scientific laws and theories
  2. The meaning and significance of measurement, manipulation of mathematical expressions and equations in treating experimental data
  3. Basic models of atomic structure and its relationship to the Periodic Table
  4. The relationship between chemical structure, chemical formulae and balance in chemical equations
  5. Properties of chemicals in solution
  6. Principles of electronic structure of atoms and chemical bonding
  7. Basic theories of gases
  8. Basic properties of liquids and solids

ASSESSMENT

EXAMS: Examinations at the end of each unit will constitute the bulk of the available grade, about 70 %. The exams will comprise short answer, discussion and problem solving and will deal with material in the current unit.

ASSIGNMENTS: Unique to the Honors course, these assignments will involve writing and research on material outside the main syllabus

QUIZZES: Weekly quizzes to test progress will constitute about 10 % of the grade. These tests will usually be multiple choice.

LABORATORY: The laboratory work constitutes 20 % of the overall grade. The lowest lab grade is dropped, unless the overall grade is lowered by so doing. The following are guidelines for preparing for the laboratory experiments. It is essential that you read these rules carefully and understand what is expected of you.

ABSENCES

In order to make up exams or quizzes due to absence because of illness or emergency, it is necessary to contact me before or at the time of the absence. It may be possible to make up the lab by attending another section, but this cannot be guaranteed.

LABORATORY

Read the following carefully and make sure you understand what is required and when. Ignorance of procedures is not an excuse.

Safety glasses are required for work in the laboratory; a lab coat is highly recommended. No student will be permitted to work in the laboratory without eye protection. Regular eyeglasses can be worn under safety glasses. Goggles must be used if contact lenses are worn.

It is important to be punctual in order to perform the experiments. Late arrival (more than 15 minutes) will result in forfeit of the grade for that lab.

  2. Procedure
  3. Advanced Study Questions

NOTE:

  1. Data and Calculations
  1. Concluding activity

Done during lab: data and observations recorded in student lab notebooks

Done post-lab A typed report is required for each experiment. It will include a brief procedural statement, the original data and observations as an appendix, a summary of the key experimental results, and a discussion of known and possible sources of error.

Complete stapled (penalty for lack of staple is 2 pts) lab reports must be handed in the week following the experiment for grading. Late submissions will result in a 20 % deduction. A minimum of eleven labs must be performed and reports handed in to complete the course.

NOTE TO STUDENTS REPEATING CHEM 1551
OPTION I / To establish your grade for Chem 1551 this quarter based on Exams, quizzes and lab work, you MUST REPEAT every experiment. No credit will be given for previous labs
OPTION II / If it can be verified that you previously completed the experiments satisfactorily, then the lab work need not be completed. However, the final grade in this quarter will be determined from the exam and quiz scores only

GRADE The following scale will be used to determine your grade:

PERCENT / GRADE
84 – 100 / A
72 – 83.9 / B
60 – 71.9 / C
50 – 59.9 / D
0 – 49.9 / F

Note:

There is no extra credit possible and absolutely no negotiating of grades is countenanced.
