Grading Grading get out be based on a 100 point scale 90 100 points = A 80 89 = B 70 -79 = C 60 69 = D Below 60 = F Breakdown of points is as follows 65% 4 unit exams (lowest is dropped) 10% Home prevail/Quiz grade 20% final exam. EXPECTIONS and OUTCOMES 1. To understand and apply methods and appropriate technology to the study of subjective sciences. 2.To recognize scientific and quantitative methods and the differences between these approches and other methods of inquiry and to give out findings, analyses and interpretation both orally and in writing. 3. To identify and recognize the differences among competing scientific theories. 1 4. To demonstrate knowlegdge of the major issues and problems facing modern science, including issuses that touch upon ethics, values, and national policies. 5. To demonstrate knowledge of the interdependence of science and technology and their influence on, and plowshare to, modern culture.CLASSROOM POLICIES Only chemistry questions bequeath be addressed in class. All other questions about the course or grading go out be addressed individually during office hours. A schedule wake due dates for assignments and exams will be available on Blackboard. Attendence Attendance whitethorn be taken periodically. Professors will have the option of dropping a student after thre e unexplained absences. Students arriving late to class should appreciate me that they are present. Class roles are periodically taken and attendence from groups work is besides noted.Make-up exams will not be given. The lowest exam score will be dropped and in cases where students miss an exam for any reason, that exam will be the one dropped. Missing two exams usually results in a F for the course. Cheating Students will be dropped from this course for cheating. Cheating consists of submitting soul elses work under your name, obtaining information from someone other than the instructor during an exam. Cellular Phones Cellular phones and/or beepers should be turned off or set to vibrate during the class period. ============================================================== Disability If you have a attested disability which will make it difficult for you to carry out the work as outlined and/or if you need special accommodations or helper due to the disability, please contact t he Office of Services for Persons with Disabilities (OSPD), at genus Emilia Ramirez-Schunior Hall, Rm. 1. 101 immediately, or the Associate Director at email&160protected edu, 956/316-7005. admit arrangements/ accommodations can be made. =============================================================== TENTETATIVE SCHEDULE Weeks 1-4 Unit I Stoichiometry Ratios of Combination Reactions in Aqueous Solutions First trial Monday, Sept. 19th, 2010 Weeks 5-8 Unit II Gases Thermochemistry Second examination CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 11 CHAPTER 5 Monday Oct. 17th, 2001 Weeks 9-12 Unit III Quantum scheme and the Electronic Structure of Atom Electronic Configuration and the Perodic Table one-third Exam Monday Nov 16th, 2010 Weeks 13-15 Unit IV Chemical Bonding I elementary constructs Chemical Bonding II, Molecular Geometry and Bonding Theories fundamental Chemistry one-quarter Exam Dec. th, 2010 Important Dates Sept. 5th 2009 Sept 14th 2009 Sept twenty-seventh 2009 Nov. 14th, 2009 Nov 2 4th, 25th, 2009 Nov 27th, 2009 Dec 8th-9th CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 8 CHAPTER 9 CHAPTER 10 dig up Day (University Closed) Census day go day to Change executes Last day to drop Thanksgiving (University Closed) Classes Resume Study Days no classes Final Exam Dec 10th -16th, 2011 Final Exams Week (Final Exam Monday Dec 12th, 2011, 115-300) This calendar is tentative and subject to slight Variation.
