email:

/ E-Mail assignments to both addresses below
Subjects of emails must describe briefly the assignments being submitted and begin with the # 46:
i.e. 46: First Email or 46: your subject

Email Requirement:

Each student should send the instructor an email during the first week from both your FCCJ email account and/or an outside email account for your primary contact, and the other as a backup contact. Be certain you put in subject box:
46:first email

Tell me about yourself. Why are you taking this course? When did you complete CHM 2045C, where, with which instructor, and your grade. What is your highest math course completed? Where do you live? What are your telephone numbers? What is your external email address which can serve as a backup to FCCJ assigned email.

Always begin the subject of each email with 46:

Subject-less emails will be deleted or subjects without the number code may be deleted. Attachments will only be opened if the number code is in the subject line. This prevents viruses and spam.

ATTENDANCE:

Students are expected to attend class and will be responsible for all material presented. The student must sign the attendance roster to earn credit for attendance. Each on campus class attended will be worth one point, The student will fill out a data card similar to your instructor one the last page of this syllabus worth one point of the two points for the first day’s attendance.

Description:

Activity:

Free Time First Lab Exercise:
Chemistry takes a lot of time to study. Each student should identify at least 10 hours or more per week of free time that she/he will commit towards his/her study of chemistry. The following are suggested strategies for scheduling your study times. Make an hour by hour seven day matrix 8 columns (hour and each day of the week) by 24 lines (representing each hour). See Master Student Web Site above. A blank matrix has been attached to this syllabus for you to complete. /

Starting with wake-up and end with sleeping:

1. Schedule fixed blocks of time first. These include work, class time, eating, and sleeping.

2. Include time for travel and errands

3. Schedule time for fun.

4. Set realistic goals.

5. Allow flexibility in your schedule.

6. Study at least two hours for every hour in class plus an extra two for computer assignments in the open lab and an extra two with a cooperative group member for homework comparison and checking.

7. Avoid scheduling marathon study sessions.

8. Set clear starting and stopping times.

9. Plan for the Unplanned!

Study Groups/Phone Network/Lab Partner:

On the first day of class each student will complete a Data Card, Interview a peer, and introduce (if time permits) that peer to the class. From these exercises and the learning styles inventory, study groups, a phone network, and lab partners need to be established. Study areas, as well as the classroom, should be used for study group and lunch and learn sessions. Some portions of the office times may meet in the library computer learning lab. Each week volunteers will be appreciated to assist in the group operation of the class. The first personal assistant volunteer will prepare a matrix with each student’s free study time so that study groups may begin to be formed the second week of school. The phone network will be established so that in case of emergencies by the instructor each student will be responsible to call two other students in the network to alert the student of the emergency so that information may be distributed prior to the next scheduled class. Emergencies will usually also include a group email on the morning/afternoon of the class meeting.

Required Assessments Week One:TBA

E-Instruction (option):

During a scheduled class (90 minutes), after going through the lecture on the assigned chapters via many modalities of teaching including Internet web sites, the instructor will utilize either the last 10 minutes or the first 10 minutes of class to go through the power point for the assigned chapter as a review.

However, multiple choice questions will be inserted into the online power points which will require all students to answer via the instructor’s e-Instruction system (keypads). Each correct response will be worth one point, while an incorrect response will count zero points. e-Instruction system will be worth no more than 50 points (out of 100 possible) for the term (5% total if used Spring term 2008)

Students are expected to get 50% correct on each day’s e-Instruction questions. During the term, the instructor may pretest a section of the multiple choice for the course using the e-Instruction system where the responses will count 1 point each of the 10 to 15 points assigned to multiple choice for that Module.

Study Groups/Phone Network/Lab Partner:

On the first day of class each student will complete a Data Card, Interview a peer, and introduce (if time permits) that peer to the class. From these exercises and the learning styles inventory, study groups, a phone network, and lab partners need to be established. Study areas, as well as the classroom, should be used for study group and lunch and learn sessions. Some portions of the office times may meet in the library computer lab. Each week volunteers will be appreciated to assist in the group operation of the class. The first personal assistant volunteer will prepare a matrix with each student’s free study time so that study groups may begin to be formed the second week of school. The phone network will be established so that in case of emergencies by the instructor each student will be responsible to call two other students in the network to alert the student of the emergency so that information may be distributed prior to the next scheduled class. Emergencies will usually also include a group email on the morning/afternoon of the class meeting.

CHM 2046C Practice/Take Home/or Pre-Final Exam:

During the last week of school, (April 22-April 29 students will complete the on-line practice final exam during the last scheduled lab section (No other lab activities are scheduled during final exam week). The course calendar has one of the previous finals designated as the practice final (usually the latest term available) or a new mock ACS exam will be developed for Spring Term 2008. The exam will be closed book and taken with your lab partner in the library computer center. It will be interactive allowing you to change answers after initial scoring. If it is from ExamView, then you are allowed three submissions. Each cooperative group will submit one practice final section for each module completed during the course. Both students will receive the same grade for the practice final. The practice final will count as the first 5% completion towards the final grade.

ACS General Chemistry Exam-Second-Termor Instructor Made Final Exam from Testbank

/ The final exam is not optional. It will be the 75 (best 50 will be scored) questions of the standard American Chemical Society General Chemistry-Second Term Exam. The Final counts as two to three modular test scores or 10% of the total grade. The multiple choice sections of the module exams are mini-tests of the final as well as online multiple choice homework. If you score more than 50 correct answers, the instructor will award bonus 1 point per correct answer (not adjusted to 2.0 factor for the first 50 correct questions). If the Final exam is not ACS, then it will be 100 questions worth one point each. Questions selected from Kotz 6e testbank.

Final Exam Challenge:

If a student scores a higher % on the final exam (all 75 questions-adjusted ACS norm score) then the grade earned through the total points assigned, then the Final Exam score will constitute the final grade average for the lecture. The instructor willnot drop the lowest exam score during the course, but may allow postesting the last two weeks to raise a poor score earned earlier in the course. A special post test day is Saturday April 26 at 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

Daily Pretest Quizzes (optional):

Pretest quizzes may be administered before (5:00-5:30), sometimes during, and/or after every class which is not a scheduled exam day. These pretest quizzes may not be made up outside of class time, unless directed by the instructor to complete the pretest in the test center during an assigned period of time.

Scored pretest quizzes are NOT recorded in the instructor’s grade book or on Blackboard, but must be attached to the Modular Exam Grading Outline the day of the exam to receive the pretest grade. This pretest packet is submitted as a separate packet. Students must write the scores on both the cover sheet of the pretest packet and on the front page of each exam.

The student will skip the section of the modular exam that is pre-tested. The Pretest scores sometimes may be recorded on the attendance sheet, but only for your instructor’s sense of current levels of class achievement. If you loose the graded pretests, you will have to do the section over on the exam.

The instructor only records Module Exam totals and the Final Exam in his grade book and on Blackboard. Multiple choice and vocabulary sections of modules are usually only tested on exam day and are usually never pre-tested or post-tested.

Do Not Staple the Modular Exams together as they are graded separately, listed on Blackboard separately, and returned separately after the exam day. Please staple carefully as directed. Mixing the modular papers on Exam day may result in a lower grade.

  1. Pretests are exams. They are not open book. They are not open notes. They are not collaboration with your neighbor.
  2. The pretests may NOT be used during the exam!
  3. You must do the pretests in class. You may NOT take the pretests home.

Samples of each section (pretest) of each exam may be found on the grading outline on the web site. On the sample tests are suggestions for paper and pencil homework in the textbook. The grading outline may be found at:

Pre-testing is a privilege not a right!

Our classroom D-207 has no scheduled class in the room before our class from 4:30-5:30.

on Tuesday and Thursday. Pretesting will begin at 5:00 to 5:15 p.m. each class day and must be completed before class begins at 5:30. Students who are late to class (after 5:30), will not be allowed topretest until after class. Student should plan to stay late if they can not arrive early. Many times the pretest will not be administered till the last 5 minutes of class so that student may complete the item after class has concluded. Pretesting may also be done 7:00-7:30 p.m. Thursdays.

Post-Testing:

The instructor may post test sections of the modular exams that a majority of the students on designated days. Multiple choice and vocabulary sections may not be post-tested. The designated last day for post testing is Saturday April 26 at a time to be announced. The post test is a free attempt. Scoring lower on the post test than on the modular exam section will not penalize the student. The post test will be ignored and the exam section score will count. Improving on the post test will replace that section’s score on the modular exam and the improvement will raise the score of the modular test. A student scores 5 out of 10, post test and scores 10 out of 10, The student’s grade is improved by the net five points. . The student will resubmit his/her exam with the graded post test stapled on top for an adjustment in the modular exam score. If the student does not have her/his exam, then post testing will NOT be possible.

MAKE-UP POLICY:

Make-up exams are usually not given. In the event of an unavoidable absence on exam day (jury duty, hospitalization, incarceration, and death in the immediate family), you will be allowed make-up tests only upon the instructor’s approval.. You must contact the instructor, no later than, the week of the exam in order to discuss what arrangements might be made. This may be done with a quick email. A message must be left on the instructor's e-mail ( ) if the instructor cannot be reached. If a makeup is allowed, it must be completed prior to return of the exam papers completed by the students attending the scheduled exam. Missed exams will otherwise count as 0 points. Papers are returned usually after one or two weekends after the exam.
