QUIZZES:

Short chapter quizzes will be given on the days denoted by the symbol . Quizzes will be given at 8 am. The top 4 scores will be used in determining your grade. No make-up quizzes will be given for missing class or being late to class.

CLASS PARTICIPATION:

During most class periods, questions will be posed during the class that you will answer using a student response device ("clicker"). These questions will serve as a review of the material covered in the video lecture. These questions are not an examination but rather intended as a review of the material. You may use your notes and discuss the questions with classmates before choosing your answers. However, if you have not studied the material sufficiently, you may not be able to answer the questions in the time alloted. Each day you can earn points on the following scale:

• 4 point for getting 50% or more of the correct responses
• 2 points for 33- 49% correct responses
• 1 point for less than 33% correct responses
• 0 points for no logged responses (for class absence)

Points earned toward your grade = (points you earned /0.84)

You can keep track of your points.. DO NOT come to my office asking for that information. I will not calculate your participation scores until the end of the term. Since the answers to each question will be shown in the class, you should be able to determine if you earned 4, 2, 1 or no points each day!

In addition to the review "clicker" questions, you may work on problems covering the material for that day during the class. In this case, you are expected to work on those materials during the time alloted each day. This work may be done on paper or you might be asked to present a solution as a class group for all to see. You may not leave the class during this portion of the class. You also may not use this class time to study or do homework for other classes. This is your opportunity to ask questions while solving organic chemistry problems. If you do not participate fully in all parts of a class period, you will not be awarded any class participation points for that day.

HOMEWORK:

PROBLEM SETS

CLASS POLICIES:

It is your responsibility to be present at the times scheduled for exams. THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS GIVEN IN THIS COURSE. If you must miss an exam due to illness, the course grade will be determined by doubling the score on the final exam. The final exam will be taken only at the officially scheduled time. DO NOT SCHEDULE OTHER COMMITTMENTS FOR THE WEDNESDAY MORNING OF FINALS WEEK, YOU MUST BE PRESENT FOR THE FINAL EXAM AT THAT TIME. Do not ask to schedule the exam at an other time...NO EXCEPTIONS.

There are several drop days incorporated into the class participation schedule to accommodate illness, transportation difficulties, a lost or forgotten clicker, a non-functioning clicker, etc. There is no provision making up missed points for any lecture period. This is covered by the drop days. Frequently missing class or forgetting your clicker will be detrimental to your class participation score. There are also no extra credit assignments available to supplement class participation scores.

Co-enrollment in CH 337 is REQUIRED. If you are repeating CH 335 and have successfully completed CH 337, this requirement, with the consent of the instructor, may be waived. However, you will be responsible for attending lab during the spectroscopy portion of the term. Laboratory attendance is required. The experiments must be performed during the scheduled time period. There are no make up labs.

Cheating is a serious offense. If you cheat on any quiz, assignment or exam, the minimum penalty is a grade of zero for that work. Your conduct may also be referred to the Student Conduct Committee for assessment of a more severe penalty.
