LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES
The Math Lab (Room 8150) is open daily on the following schedule: 8am–9pm Monday through Thursday; 8am –4 pm Friday; and, 9am–12pm Saturday. Computer access and tutoring are available. Announcements can be found at http://bb.tulsacc.edu.
TEACHING METHODS
All lecture and laboratory material should be read prior to the class presentation or laboratory period. Problems from the textbook should be worked in preparation for the examinations. The student is responsible for all of the assigned reading material, handouts and laboratory exercises.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
The students should attend class regularly. Concepts presented early in the course must be understood to learn the concepts presented later on.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL
The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 75 percent (3/4) the duration of any class. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for the deadline that applies to the course(s). Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member assigned to the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course (‘W’) grade or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawal and/or change to an audit from a course after the drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for the current and future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” with may have financial aid consequences for the student.
MAKE-UP AND LATE ASSIGNMENTS POLICY
There will not be any make-up labs. Laboratory papers, i.e. worksheets and reports, are due at the beginning of the Monday lecture following the laboratory period. In case of an absence due to an emergency impacting submittal of laboratory work, please notify the instructor as soon as possible. Laboratory reports or worksheets will not be accepted later than one lecture period after due date. Late laboratory reports or worksheets will be docked 20% of the total grade.
SAFETY
Students must wear laboratory aprons and approved safety goggles in the laboratory at ALL times. Students not wearing appropriate laboratory aprons and chemical resistant goggles will not be allowed to participate in the laboratory exercise and will forfeit all of the points associated with that particular lab. Laboratory aprons and safety goggles are available for purchase at the TCC bookstore or local vendors.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUES
Examinations:
· There will be four chapter exams.
· There will be one mandatory comprehensive final exam.
Laboratory exercises:
· Pre-laboratory exercises are due at the beginning on the date of the laboratory exercise.
· The laboratory bench work is to be completed during the assigned lab period. The completed lab report or work papers will be due at the beginning of the following Tuesday’s lecture. Do not attempt to email them; they must be turned in as hard copy.
· To log onto the laboratory’s computers use this information:
USER: chemlab
Password: tcc
In the drop-down menu select “This computer SC8214-76LB16”

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
§ Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test;
§ Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
§ Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class;
§ Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.
Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such request to the Dean of Student Services.
PLAGIARISM POLICY
Plagiarism is claiming, indicating, or implying that the ideas, sentences, or words of another writer are your own; it includes having another writer do work claimed to be your own, copying the work of another and presenting it as your own, or following the work of another as a guide to ideas and expression that are then presented as your own. The student should review the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook.
COMPUTER SERVICES ACCEPTABLE USE
Access to computing resources is a privilege granted to all TCC faculty, staff, and students. Use of TCC computing resources is limited to purposes related to the College’s mission of education, research, and community service. Student use of technology is governed by the Computer Services Acceptable Use Statements/Standards found in the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook. These handbooks may be obtained by contacting any Student Activities or Dean of Student Services office.
INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT
Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu.

FORMAT FOR HOMEWORK PROBLEMS
IF the homework is not signed it will not be graded.
1. Write out the question from the book. If an essay question is posed, answer. If a calculation is posed, continue to step 2.
2. Write out the data provided within the question. See “Given” below.
3. If needed, write out the formulas required to solve question.
4. Determine what unknown data is required, if any. Solve for this data using data given in the question.
5. Solve for unknown(s). Dimensional analysis is recommended to be used whenever possible.
6. Show all work required to solve.
7. Use correct units.
An example:
For many years drinking water has been cooled in hot climates by evaporating it from the surfaces of canvas bags or porous clay pots. How may grams of water can be cooled from 35˚C to 20˚C by the evaporation of 60 grams of water? The heat of vaporization of water in this temperature range is 2.4 kJ/g. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g-K.
Given: --Temperature differential of 15 degrees (no mathematical conversion from Celsius to Kelvin required as relationship between 1 degree Celsius is equal to 1 degree Kelvin)
-- 60 grams of water evaporated
-- Heat of vaporization of water in this temperature range = 2.4 kJ/g
-- Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g-K
(60g H₂0/1)(2.4 kJ/1g) (1000 J/kJ)(1g-K/4.184J)(1/15˚K) = 2,294 g H₂O
This format works well on the Chapter tests, but step one is not required, so on tests begin with step two.
Preparing Laboratory Reports
A laboratory report is created to summarize the experimental results, to draw conclusions, and to communicate the results to others. As this report is written after the experiment has been conducted, it shall be written in the past tense except for the conclusion portion.
