Textbooks:
M. Joesten and J. Wood, World
of Chemistry, 2nd Edition, 1996.
The student will also need a
calculator. Laboratory instructions
will be provided.
Videotapes: a set of seven two
hour tapes contain 30 minute segments which supplement the text material.
Statement of Plagiarism:
If
an instructor or other Calumet College of St. Joseph personnel find that a
student has plagiarized or been involved in another form of academic
dishonesty, the instructor or other personnel may elect to bring the matter up
for judicial review. The maximum penalty for any form of academic dishonesty is
dismissal from the College. The procedures for judicial review are listed under
the section of CCSJ handbook that addresses student grievances.
Calumet
College of St. Joseph adheres to citation guidelines as written in the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fourth Edition. A
copy is available from the Calumet College of St. Joseph bookstore. This text
outlines how to cite references from a variety of sources, including electronic
media.
Withdrawal from Classes
Policy:
After
the last day for class changes has passed (see College calendar), students may
withdraw from a course in which they are registered with permission from the
faculty member conducting the course. A written request detailing the reason(s)
for the withdrawal must be filed with the Registrar. Written request for
withdrawal must be received by the Registrar by the last day of classes prior
to the final examination dates specified in the catalogue. Written requests may
be mailed to the Registrar or faxed to the College fax number 219-473-4259.
Students are to make note of the refund schedule when withdrawing from courses.
The request is forwarded to the faculty member, who makes the final
determination to accept or deny the request. If the request is honored, the
student will receive notification of official withdrawal; if denied, the
notification will indicate why the withdrawal is disallowed. Note: Degree
Completion Division (DCD) students should consult the DCD Student Handbook for
information on DCD withdrawals.
An
official withdrawal is recorded as a "W" grade on the student's
transcript. Dropping a
course
without written permission automatically incurs an "F" grade for the
course (see
Refund
Schedule).
Class Policies on Attendance
and Assignments:
Homework
assignments will be given for each assigned section of the text chapters( list
attached). Each class, the student is
to hand in the assigned homework (15 points) and take an in-class quiz(
20points). The lowest homework/quiz
grade will be dropped and no make-up quizzes will be given. The lab reports are due at the end of each
lab session. The lowest lab grade is
dropped and no make-up labs. The final
exam is cumulative and is based on in-class quizzes. The term project involves:
Selecting a topic relevant to Chemistry and of interest to the student,
preparing a three-five page report with at least one internet reference. Report and brief in-class presentation are
due Nov. 30. Report must contain at
least one chemical equation and one graph.
Course Objectives:
Students
in this course will:
·
Demonstrate
the ability to question and test theories using appropriate scientific
methodology.
·
Learn
chemical concepts and integrate them into their field of focus.
·
Demonstrate
knowledge and laboratory skills required for general knowledge applications and
experimentation in any discipline within chemistry .
