SAFETY PROCEDURES
Please note emergency exits in the SAM building and directions posted in each classroom. The following website will give you and your students additional information: http://www.seattlecentral.edu/security/emergency.php
CAMPUS CLOSURE AND EMERGENCY ALERTS
If you would like to receive a text, e-mail, or phone call for Emergency Campus Alerts, please subscribe:
http://seattlecolleges.edu/district/emergencies/seattlecollegesalerts.aspx
Please have a plan if the college closes. It is a good idea to have some alternate assignments or online activities. The best way to have this prepared is to have your course on Canvas, that way students can access all their Seattle Central course information in one place. Please contact e-learning if you want to start using Canvas for your classes or want suggestions on how to reach students if the college closes due to an emergency or weather.
CALCULATOR:
For exams and quizzes you need your own small non-programmable calculator, preferably with no batteries.
TEXTS:
Required: Gilbert, T. R.; Kirss, R. V.; Foster, N.; Davies, G. “Chemistry” 4th edition, W. W. Norton & Co., 2009. ****ON RESERVE IN LIBRARY****
Required: SCCC Custom Laboratory Manual. This can be obtained at the Copy Center, BE 3105A
(No Photocopies of laboratory manual, please)
Required: A non-programmable, non-alphanumeric scientific calculator capable of handling scientific notation, logarithms, and exponents, i.e. TI-30XA. Do you have fresh batteries in your calculator?
Required: Laboratory notebook: an inexpensive bound notebook (at least 8” x 8”) will suffice.
Optional: Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual that accompany the textbook.
Optional but highly recommended: A notebook that is divided into clearly marked sections for lecture note-taking, text note-taking, workspace for problem solving, and questions to be asked in class, in group study, or during office hours.
Optional but Highly Recommended: A laminated periodic table-available at the SCCC bookstore and most other bookstores.
HOMEWORK:
Homework is a daily student routine and responsibility, where problem solving skills are practiced and learned. For the normal student, it is necessary to work the homework problems several times, and to review randomly these problems before each exam or quiz. Before starting each homework assignment, you should copy the sample problems from your lecture notes on to a piece of notebook paper and then solve them. After working these problems, you should compare your solutions with the ones in the lecture notes, if this process generates questions, they should be recorded on a piece of paper and shared with the instructor at your earliest convince. When this process is complete, then proceed to the homework assignment. The assigned homework, listed on a separate sheet included with this document, should be worked on a daily basis, with any questions generated from this, again recorded and shared with the instructor at your earliest convince. Weekly homework assignments should be completed before the due date, and any remaining questions should be asked before handing in the assignment. Since homework solutions will be posted after it is collected, late homework cannot be accepted. When the graded homework is returned, you should check the entire assignment with the posted solutions, and again ask questions about the solutions if you have any. The entire assignment will not be completely graded, but rather a few random problems will be graded in detail, and the rest of the assignment checked for completeness, style, and effort. Style, refers to all work being clearly shown, with answers rounded to the correct precision, including units, and boxed.
QUIZZES
Quizzes will be given on Friday of each week, except for the first week, covering previous homework. Quiz make-ups will not be given.
EXAMINATIONS
Two midterms and a cumulative final examination will be given. See the lecture schedule for tentative dates. Midterm make-ups will not be given, but the score of the final exam might be substituted for the missing midterm score, if there is a valid excused absence.
GRADING SCHEME
The final grade will be calculated by the following distribution: Homework 15%, Quizzes 15%, midterms 25%, Laboratory 15%, and the final exam (comprehensive) 30%. The following linear schedule will be used to assign grades, with class participation affecting borderline situations. Note: N/C grades will not be given.
93% -100% 4.0
88% - 92% 3.5
83% - 87% 3.0
75% - 82% 2.5
73% - 77% 2.0
68% - 72% 1.5
63% - 67% 1.0
58% - 62% 0.5
CHEATING:
Any student involved in cheating will receive a zero, this includes pre lab and post lab work, which should be done by the individual student.

CHEM 163 Course-Level Learning Outcomes
Student Learning Outcomes:
After successful completion of this course, students will be able to do the following:
GENERAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, AND MICROSCALE
1. Apply the scientific method and use empirical data and observations to construct a sound scientific explanation.
· Distinguish between macroscopic observables and the underlying microscopic properties of matter by interpreting and representing matter using molecular-level drawings.
· Demonstrate effective laboratory practices in conducting experiments and reporting experimental results (including the proper application of significant figures, precision, and accuracy).
2. CHEMICAL PROBLEM SOLVING
· Demonstrate strong problem-solving skills that are supported by basic algebraic and numeracy skills.
· Demonstrate fluency in chemical vocabulary and symbolic representation.
· Use measurable quantities of matter to determine physical and chemical properties.
· Use stoichiometric calculations to predict quantities.
3. ATOMS, MOLECULES AND IONS
· Describe the general structure of an atom.
· Explain the historical development of the atomic theory and the evolution of the current modern atomic model.
· Explain the relationship between the position of an element in the periodic table and its physical/chemical properties, including periodic trends.
· Describe the differences in the structure and properties of substances based on different types and models of bonding.
4. STATES OF MATTER: GASES, LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS
· Compare and contrast the properties of the three states of matter.
· Use kinetic-molecular theory to explain gas behavior, including real versus ideal gases.
· Describe intermolecular forces and chemical bonds and how they influence physical and chemical properties and phase transitions.
5. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES AND NUCLEAR REACTIONS
· Classify and balance chemical and nuclear reactions and predict products for different types of reactions.
· Apply the properties of ionic and molecular substances in aqueous solution to describe systems and predict behavior.

LABORATORY
The assigned experiments are listed on the Tentative Weekly Schedule below. For each experiment, you must complete the pre-laboratory assignment, complete the laboratory experiment, and hand-in the completed report sheet. The completed pre-laboratory sheet is due at the beginning of the “lab lectures,” every Tuesday, and the completed report sheet will be due the following week at the beginning of lab period on Tuesday. Important notes and supplements will be found on the Science, Math, and Chemistry website (www.chemsccc.org). There will be no make-up laboratory sessions, since there is extensive set-up and preparation required by the laboratory staff. Only one missed laboratory experiment will be permitted in order to pass the class. Be sure to bring your laboratory manual to lab class each week and record all measurements and observations in ink and to have your laboratory manual signed by one of the laboratory technicians before leaving the laboratory. Note: All experiments will be done on the Tuesday laboratory session. Some experiments will require two days and will be completed on Wednesday.
