CH201

Summary

Fall 2013

Syllabus

Chemistry 201 is a class designed to give engineers a working knowledge of fundamental chemistry and chemical phenomena that are pertinent to engineering fields. The class requires strong algebra skills; therefore, it is suggested that you have completed MTH 111 with a grade of B or higher in order to participate in this class.

Course Objectives and Outcomes

Chemistry 201 trains the student in the fundamental basis of chemistry and the critical interpretation thereof. In this course, the student will learn: how to read chemical equations, predict chemical outcomes, make hypotheses about energetic interactions on the molecular level, predict electronic structures and properties of materials based upon their respective compositions and carry out predictive mathematics to determine the specific outcomes of chemical reactions. Examinations and virtual laboratory exercises will be used to test student understanding of the aforementioned topics.

Grading Policy
Your grade for this course is based upon three major criteria: exams, homework, and online labs. Exams: There will be two midterm exams, each worth 17.6% of your grade. The final exam is worth 35.2% of your grade. If you score higher on your final than either, or both, of your midterms, the final grade will replace the lower midterm grades. This also counts for people absent for either midterm. Homework: You will get full credit for 95% completion or better on your Mastering Chemistry. This 5% window is to account for trials and tribulations in your battle against our robot overlords. Online Labs: There will be five online labs, one due each two weeks in this course. These labs can be accessed at www.ocl5.com. You will need to register on the site, and there will be a fee of $20.00.

Academic Honesty
All exams will be proctored by teaching assistants and the instructor will also make rounds. Any implication of cheating will be formally investigated and students proven to be cheating will fail the course. Even if you are not caught, cheating will get you nowhere. The real test is life after college, and the only thing that cheaters gain is ineptitude in subject matter that they have paid a great deal of money to learn.
