Examination Format and Grading

   Students who cannot attend scheduled exams because of a job or class conflict may take an alternate exam to be given the morning of exam day at 8:00-10:20 a.m.  The room number will be announced later, orthe room number can be obtained from your TA.  Students taking the alternate exam must register in advance by providing the following information on a 3 x 5 card to CHEM 208 or to their lecture instructor by Tuesday of examweek-Name, I.D. #, Lecture Instructor, Lab Instructor, reason why studentcannot attend scheduled exam, name and phone number where excuse can be verified.  There will be no alternate exam for Exam IV, the Final Exam. except for those students who have conflicting exams or who have more than two final exams on the same day.  See page 8 of the class schedule book for regulations.

   Students should bring their I.D. cards or some other form of acceptable photo-identification to all exams.

   Each lecture examination will be divided into a number of short 10-question multiple choice tests.  The chapter(s) of the text covered in each test are indicated in the diagram below. Each question on a testis worth 5 points.  Questions are based on the course material coveredin lecture, laboratory, and the text.

   Each exam, after the first, contains tests on units covered in the previous exam.  This allows students who are dissatisfied with their performance or who missed the previous exam a chance to improve their scores.

   At any exam you may answer the questions for any unit testyou desire.  You do not have to take all the tests offered.  Yourfinal grade will be calculated by taking the highest score you received oneach of the eight units.

   Grades in laboratory will be based on laboratory reports.

   Short quizzes over current lecture and laboratory materialwill be given in recitation group meetings. These quizzes will not be givenduring the first week of the course.

   It is suggested that you keep a personal record of your grades using the diagram below. Save all your graded lab reports and quizzes for comparison with our records.

Notes And Policies

   Calculators with programmable functions and/or alphanumeric storage/recall capability are not allowed for quizzes and examinations. During the first week of class you must show the calculator you will use to your laboratory instructor.  The calculator must be approved by the instructor prior to the first quiz.  You will be expected to use only this calculator or the same model on all quizzes and examinations.  If it becomes necessary to replace a calculator that has been approved with another model, it isyour responsibility to have it approved by the instructor before the nextquiz or examination.  Students using calculators that have not beenapproved may be awarded a grade of zero on the quiz or examination for whichthat calculator was used.
   Electronic communication devices such as cellular phones, pagers, FM receivers, headphones etc. are banned from examination rooms.  Individuals for whom circumstances make the possession of such devices necessary must inform their laboratory instructor prior to an examination to make arrangements.  Students found with an unauthorized communication device at an examination will receive a grade of zero for the exam and be charged with academic misconduct.
   Each student should acquaint her or his self with the University’s codes, policies, and procedures involving academic misconduct, grievances, sexual and ethnic harassment, and discrimination based on physical handicap.
   Students engaging in academic misconduct (including cheating, plagiarism, and any other action that may improperly affect the evaluation of a student) will be subject to grade sanctions as a minimum penalty inaccordance with the Norman Campus Academic Misconduct Code.  Studentsare expected to be quiet during the lecture and to remain seated until theend of the period.  Disruptive behavior in lecture or laboratory willnot be tolerated.
   Any student in this course who has a disability that may prevent her or him from fully demonstrating his or her abilities should contact their instructor as soon as possible to discuss accommodations necessary to ensure full participation and facilitate educational opportunities.
   All students enrolled in the course must be enrolled in a Chem 1315 laboratory and discussion section and should meet the Chem 1315 prerequisites.
   Laboratory/Discussion will begin meeting the week of January 16. Bring a calculator and a formatted floppy disk to laboratory.
   Advance placement exams for general chemistry courses willbe given on Saturday, January 20, at 8:30 am in PHSC 224.  See the chemistry secretary in CHB 208 for additional information (or telephone 325-4811).
   The final day to withdraw without a grade is Monday, January 29.  Students who plan to change from credit to audit status or to withdraw from the course should do so before March 30.  Students who stop attending but who do not officially withdraw from the course will be assigned a course grade.
   Students who do not check in to laboratory during the first scheduled laboratory class may lose their space and be dropped from the course.

There is a small amount of extra credit available in this course in association with the homework.  This extra credit will be precisely defined by your Laboratory Teaching Assistant.  There is NO additional extra creditin this course.
   Students who are repeating the course may be eligible to be excused from laboratory.  Students must register to be excused during the first week of classes.  See your instructor for procedures.
   The instructor reserves the right to change any item(s) contained in this syllabus.  This includes, but is not limited to: course content, scheduled dates, and fraction(s) of final grade assigned to individual components of the course.

Need Additional Help?

Besides normal class attendance in the lecture, discussion section, and laboratory, students have several opportunities available to enhance their level of learning in the course.  Some of these items are suggested below.

   Laboratory and lecture instructors have office hours to help students.  Students may either attend office hours or make an appointment to see an instructor at other times.  A teaching assistant will be in the Help Lab, PHSC 303, beginning week two of the semester, Monday through Friday, at times to be posted on the door.
   The answers to most of the recommended problems are in theback of the textbook.  Worked out answers for all problems in the textbook are available in books on reserve in the Main Library. Ask for the CHEM 1315 Solution Manual. The student should consult these solutions only after working the problems or trying to do so.
   Copies of examinations which were given in the past can befound in the test files of the Center for Student Life located in OMU 2ndFlr and Adams Hall Learning Center.  Copies of recent exams are alsoavailable for purchase at King Kopy, 108 E. Lindsey. Students should initiallytry to answer the questions on past examinations under testing conditions– i.e., without access to any book, notes, another student, or instructor.  Students should be aware that these exams were not necessarily written by the instructor teaching CHEM 1315 this semester.  Students should also be aware that some of these exams are based on a different textbook fromthe one being used this semester.
   The secretary in the Department of Chemistry office (CHB208) maintains a list of people who are interested in tutoring individual students or groups of students in chemistry courses. Recommendations regarding the relative merits of those listed are not available from the department.  Instead, the student is encouraged to consult previous students for references.
   The University also has group tutoring opportunities. Announcements will be made in class as these opportunities become known to us.
   Meetings of small groups of students on a weekly basis to discuss recommended problems has been found to help many students discover misunderstandings and improve their performance on examinations.
   The publisher of your textbook maintains a useful website with practice problems, sample quizzes, and other resources -http://www.mhhe.com/physsci/chemistry/silberberg/studolc.mhtml.The booklet WebCT Student Users Guide that comes with your textbook containsother web based resources. A course web site is being set up for use in CHEM1315. We will announce information about the site as it becomes available.
   The CD-ROM that comes with your textbook contains tutorials and simulations on material covered in this course.
   The University has computer laboratories at six locations:232 PHSC, Dale Hall Tower, Walker Tower, Couch Tower, Bizzell Memorial Library, and the Oklahoma Memorial Union. These facilities are open for student use seven days a week at hours posted in each lab. Both IBM and Macintosh computers are available.
