Grading:

 

Homework:  Homework will be assigned for each chapter and collected one class period after we have finished lecturing on that chapter.  Homework can be turned in for extra credit.  Each homework set will be worth a maximum of 3 points.  Failure to work even problems will result in a zero

 

Exams:  Five exams will be given.  Each exam will be worth 100 points.  The lowest exam grade will be dropped.  There are no exam make-ups.

 

Final:  The final is comprehensive (covers all of CHM 112) and mandatory.  It will be worth 150 points.

 

Lab:  Your Lab grade will be determined by your lab instructor and will be given to me as a percentage of the total possible number of points.  I will scale the percentage to a scale of 200 points.

 

Your grade will be calculated as follows  Total: 750 points: 

 

            Exams              400 points        90% and above:           A

            Lab                  200points         80-89 %                      B

            Final                 150 points        70-79%                       C

                                                            60-69%                       D

.                                                                                  

Cheating:  Any attempt to give or receive information (Cheating) on an Exam or Final will result in an immediate zero for that work that cannot be dropped.  This includes looking at another student's exam or having any type of notes on your desk or person during an exam.  Providing information to another student during an exam is also cheating and will result in both of you getting zeros.  A second attempt at cheating will result in an automatic F for the course.

 

Attendance:  Regular lecture attendance is not required but is strongly encouraged. If students start coming in late regularly, pop quizzes will be given.  Attendance will be taken daily for administrative purposes.   Regular Lab attendance is required.

 

Topics to be covered: Liquids and Solids; Solutions; Kinetics; Equilibrium; Acids and Bases; Aqueous Equilibria; Thermodynamics; Electrochemistry.
