Course Information

 

Course:  CH102 General Chemistry II

Credits:  4

Prerequisites:  CH 101

Co-requisites: CH 102 Lab

 

Course Description

 

Examines the concepts underlying modern chemistry, including atomic and molecular structure, bonding, states of matter and solutions.  Laboratory experiments illustrate the lecture material.

 

Core Learning Outcomes

 

 By the completion of this course students will:

1. Relate facts and principles of chemistry to atomic and molecule structures.

2.  Understand fundamental chemistry facts and principles involving substances in solid, liquid, and gas phases.

 

3.  Relate facts and principles to physical properties and chemical behaviors including associated heat/energy and gas law relationships.

 

4.  Write and use chemical equations to solve qualitative and stoichiometric problems.

 

Instructional Methods

 

The primary modes of instruction in lecture will be 1) Access Blackboard web site with the use of online resources, videos, PowerPoint slides,  2) Homework assignments, 3) Discussion group with other students, 4) E-mail with Instructor, 5) Online tests and quizzes, 5) Proctored midterm and final exams.  The primary modes of instruction in lab will be discussion with the use of online resources, videos, PowerPoint slides and chalk board, and 2) problem-solving as well as performing individual and group activities that support and/or utilize the experimental results.

 

Texts

 

Lecture: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2nd edition, by Nivaldo Tro, Pearson Education, NJ, 2011-required.

Laboratory: CH102 Lab manual

 

Progress Report

 

By the end of the 6th week of the semester, you will have an opportunity to evaluate your progress in this course and decide if you need to make any adjustments (additional study, tutoring, conference with instructor) to assure your success in this course.  Grades will be posted on Blackboard.  The instructor is available to discuss their course grades during the semester.

1000 points

 

The lecture points total 700.  A failing grade for the lecture course or a failing grade on lecture exams = a failing grade for the course.

 

The lab points total 300 (lab participation, quizzes, assignments).  A failing grade for the lab course = a failing grade for the course.  

 

There are no make-up labs.  Failure to follow lab safety rules, including wearing correct safety attire, will result in up to ten points being subtracted from the student’s lab participation grade for each instance of failure to follow safety rules.  There will be no special individualized extra credit assignments.

 

Final grades will be assigned by:

 

·       Checking the requirement of having a passing grade in the lecture and laboratory portions of the course.

 

·       Adding up all points earned by the student and dividing them by the total number of possible points.

 

·       Matching the points earned to the grade breakdown given above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Codes of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct

 

Students are required to uphold the Code of Academic Integrity and the Code of Student Conduct. Students who violate either of these codes may receive a failing grade in the class.  Information about these codes and other student policies, procedures, and penalties is available on the Student Policy and Procedures web page at http://www.frederick.edu/student_services/studentpolicies.aspx.

You must send your Academic Integrity Pledge to the instructor. The form is available at http://courses.frederick.edu/_utilities/regform.htm

 

 

Student Services

A variety of services are available to assist students in succeeding at FCC. Students can learn more about these services by visiting the Student Services web page: http://www.frederick.edu/student_services/index.aspx

 

Students with disabilities who are in need of accommodations or who have questions related to disabilities services should contact the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office at 301-846-2408. Students can learn more about these services by visiting the Services for Students with Disabilities web page: http://www.frederick.edu/student_services/disability.aspx .

 

Participation Policy

 

Students are encouraged and expected to participate fully in all lecture and lab activities.  Group work and homework assignments covered in lecture and lab are designed to reinforce lecture material.   Homework assignments are due on the date assigned.  Lab experiments and group work demonstrate principles learned in lecture and lab.  Lecture and lab activities will be included on exams and quizzes.  In case of serious illness, emergency, religious holidays, or participation in official college functions, students remain responsible for completing the requirements of the course. Labs cannot be made up.

 

The lab participation grade will be based on coming to the lab prepared, diligently performing the experiments, participating in all lab activities and exercises, and obeying lab rules. Lab attendance is required. Students are allowed one missed lab per semester without loss of points.  Additional missed labs cannot be made up and will result in a proportional loss of points. 

 

Make up exam is only allowed where the notification in the case of serious illness or emergency is provided before the deadline of the exam.  You may leave messages on email, which record the time and date of contact.  Please provide notification of official college functions and religious holidays in advance.  Supporting documentation must be provided in all instances in order to make up missed exam points. 

 

Email Communication

 

All students will receive and be expected to use their FCC email address for their correspondence with faculty and staff at the college.  Students can establish and access their FCC email accounts at the login page: https://myfcc.frederick.edu.

 

Topical Outlines

 

Every effort will be made to keep to these schedules; however, the instructor reserves the right to alter or amend it as necessary. Additional dates, as published in the academic schedule of classes and listed below, may be required as make-up days for inclement weather.
