E-Mail assignments to address above

Subjects of email must describe briefly the assignments being submitted and begin with the # 45:

i.e. 45 First Email or 45: your subject

Email Requirement:

Each student should send the instructor an email during the first week from both your FSCJ email account and/or an outside email account for your primary contact, and the other as a backup contact. Be certain you put in subject box:

45: first email

Tell me about yourself. Why are you taking this course? Did you have high school chemistry? When? What grades did you make? Did you take CHM 1025C, where, when, with whom, and your grade. (Was you CHM 1025C online?)What is your highest math course completed? Where do you live? What are your telephone numbers? What is your external email address which can serve as a backup to FSCJ assigned email.

Always begin the subject of each email with 45:

Subject-less emails will be deleted or subjects without the number code may be deleted. Attachments will only be opened if the number code is in the subject line. This prevents viruses and spam.

ATTENDANCE:

Students are expected to attend class and will be responsible for all material presented. The student must sign the attendance roster to earn credit for attendance. Each lecture class attended will be worth one points for 30 total points of the final grade if there is an attendance monitor. Students arriving late will earn less points. 11:45-12:15 ½ point and zero points after12:15

Sign in for lab is counted separately worth 2 points for each week with a 30 points total. Late lab arrival 1:45-2:00 1 point. 2:00-2:30 ½ point. After 2:30 zero points. A student absent from a lab will lose 2 points for the first, then 10 point for each additional lab missed. Students making up the lab previously during the week must have the alternate lab makeup form signed by the lab instructor.

The student will fill out a data card/page similar to your instructor one the last page of this syllabus for the first day’s attendance. The student will submit by the second class, the time 24x7 time management form with her/his class schedule, work schedule and other regular commitments. This is worth 5 points if submitted the second class. The student must also send the instructor a first email as described below before the second class for 20 points.

Students are expected to attend class and will be responsible for all material presented. The student must sign the attendance roster to earn credit for attendance. Each on campus class attended will be worth lecture one/two lab points,

Free Time First Lab Exercise:

Chemistry takes a lot of time to study. Each student should identify at least 10 hours or more per week of free time that she/he will commit towards his/her study of chemistry. The following are suggested strategies for scheduling your study times. Make an hour by hour seven day matrix 8 columns (hour and each day of the week) by 24 lines (representing each hour). See Master Student Web Site above. Unfortunately there are only 183 hours in a week and I need 10 plus six hours of class time.

Starting with wake-up and end with sleeping:

1. Schedule fixed blocks of time first. These include work, class time, eating, and sleeping.

2. Include time for travel and errands

3. Schedule time for fun.

4. Set realistic goals.

5. Allow flexibility in your schedule.

6. Study at least two hours for every hour in class plus an extra two for computer assignments in the open lab and an extra two with a cooperative group member for homework comparison and checking.

7. Avoid scheduling marathon study sessions.

8. Set clear starting and stopping times.

9. Plan for the Unplanned!

Homework: The sample pretest quizzes posted on the grading outline are not homework to be turned. They are for the student’s self practice and for the student to understand what the instructor expects from each section of the textbook and his lectures. The Pretest is an actual page of a previous exam. The grading outline may be found at: http://www.fccj.us/chm1045/45grdS11.htm

The instructor requires online homework for every chapter complete in McMurry

http://www.fccj.us/chm2045/McMurry5thQuiz.html

The 3 part 50 multiple choice questions per chapter is worth 10 homework points for upto 100 total points..

Daily Pretest Quizzes (optional):

Pretest quizzes may be administered before class, sometimes during, and/or after every class which is not a scheduled exam day. These pretest quizzes may not be made up outside of class time, unless directed by the instructor to complete the pretest in the test center during an assigned period of time. The pretest must be completed on the day assigned and are generally yellow hard copy labeled Pretest#1. Sometimes the instructor will allow the students a second chance on the pretest as a makeup the following class period and these sheets are generally pink and labeled Pretest#2.

Scored pretest quizzes are NOT recorded in the instructor’s grade book or on Blackboard, but must be attached to the Modular Exam Grading Outline the day of the exam to receive the pretest grade. This pretest packet is submitted as a separate packet. Students must write the scores on both the cover sheet of the pretest packet and on the front page of the exam.

The student will skip the section of the modular exam that is pre-tested successfully. The Pretest scores may be recorded on the attendance sheet, but only for your instructor’s sense of current levels of class achievement. If you lose the graded pretests, you will have to do the section over on the exam.

The instructor only records Module Exam totals and the Final Exam in his grade book and on Blackboard. Multiple choice and vocabulary sections of modules are usually only tested on exam day, sometimes online, and are usually never pre-tested nor post-tested.

Do Not Staple the Modular Exams together as they are graded separately, listed on Blackboard separately, and returned separately after the exam day. Please staple carefully as directed. Mixing the modular papers on Exam day may result in a lower grade by 10 points per module. The student must also on April 27 submit a Post Test Request Form.

Pretest Rules:

1. Pretests are EXAMS! They are NOT open book. They are NOT open notes. They are NOT collaboration with your neighbor.

2. The pretests may NOT be used during the exam!

3. You must do the pretests in class. You may NOT take the pretests home.

Samples of each section (pretest) of each exam may be found on the grading outline on the web site. On the sample tests sometimes there are suggestions for paper and pencil homework in the textbook.

http://www.fccj.us/chm1045/45grdS11.htm

Pre-testing is a privilege not a right!

They will be completed on your time outside of class time!

Our classroom D-211 may have scheduled classes in the room before our class (before 11:00 a.m.). On Monday day classes after our lab experiment for the day has been completed in D-203 (between 3:30 and 5;00 p.m.), pretesting will be available in D-203 next to the lab. Pretesting may begin before our lecture class at 11:00 a.m. and must be completed before class begins at 11:30 (all paper must be turned in). Our lecture room may available 11:00-11:30 each day. Students who are late to class (after 11:30), will not be allowed to pretest until after class at 2:00 on Wednesday and 3:30-4:15 on Monday. Students should plan to stay late if they can not arrive early. Many times the pretest will not be administered until the last 5 minutes of class so that students may complete the item after class has concluded. There are no classes in D-203 after our lab class at 4:15 p.m. Monday and 2:00 p.m. Wednesday.

Major Exams:

Three to Four major exams will be administered in class on the approximate exam days listed below. Each exam is a minimum of two modules. Exam#3 & #4 are composed of portions of many modules. These exams will constitute approximately 50+% of the student’s final grade. The grading outline for these exams may be found at: http://www.fccj.us/chm1045/45grdS11.htm

ACS California Placement Exam with Math from ACS Toledo:

During the first week all students must take the ACS California Placement test during the first scheduled lab class (January 10). It is a pre-assessment of chemistry skills and will be post course tested the week of finals week. The test includes 44 multiple choice questions and an additional 20 questions from the Toledo Placement test on math. Students should be able to score 70% on the Mathematics Section II. If lower than 70%, the student should examine their math ability for this course. The math section counts 20 points the first week, and the post California on May 2 40 points

Students should be able to score at least 70% or better if they have had high school chemistry recently or CHM 1025C on sections 1. Bonus points for each section will be awarded for scores above 70%. If most of the chemistry questions seem foreign, then just leave it blank as the course content will provide the student with the skills to answer these questions in Post test Format the week before the finals. In Post test format, everyone should be able to score above 80% on Section 1 (44 questions), if you and the instructor are successful with 15 weeks of instruction. The mathematics section II will not be included in the Post test. The test will count 1 point for each questions answered successfully during the final exam week plus the 20 points for the math (70% of 44 is 30 (all correct answers above 30 will count one bonus point the first week..

Final Exam:

During the May 2-4, the student will complete two portions of the final exam worth up to 250 total points of the final grade. Students with an A average grade going into the final MUST take the final. No student is excused from the final.

The first portion is an electronic cooperative pre-final to be completed with a student partner on a computer connected to the Internet anytime prior to the In-class portion of the final. The Pre-final is Closed book but open partner with the same score for both. (It may be taken alone with permission of the instructor). It is designed as a study tool for the comprehensive in-class final. This must be completed prior to the in-class test May 4. If not completed prior to the exam, then the score will be zero as these tests will be done in the last lab class May 2 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.. This online prefinal test will be ~150 questions for a total of 50 total points of the final exam grade. Pre-final/Cooperative CHM 1025C Final Menu: http://www.fccj.us/chm1045/45finalmenu.html or
http://www.hccbrandon.net/chem1211/11testmenu.html

The second portion of the final exam will be completed in class as scheduled by the final exam schedule. It will be a 100 question multiple choice comprehensive final exam during the final exam period as designated by the published FSCJ final exam schedule (May 4 at 10:30-12:30 pm). This exam will count 200 total points of the final grade. If a student performs poorly on this portion of the final exam or scores a zero by being absent then the final grade is lowered by 10>6% which may lower the final grade by no more than one grade, The student may be pre-test the finals at the option of the instructor on Post testing days Friday-April 29-Satuday April30

Old Chemistry Finals prior to Spring may be found at: http://www.hccbrandon.net/chem1211/11testmenu.html

Final Exam Challenge for an A Grade:

If the student scores 90% out of 100 questions on section two of the final, the student will receive an A final grade in the course. If no one scores 90% or above, the student with the highest correct score above 75% will earn an “A” in the course, despite the overall class avverage.

Post-Testing:

The instructor may post test sections of the modular exams that a majority of the students miss. Multiple choice and vocabulary sections may not be pre-tested or post-tested. Unless otherwise announced by the instructor. This post testing will be done on a day in a time frame established by the instructor via group email or at a designated time (Tentative Friday April 29 and Saturday April 30). The post test is a free attempt. Scoring lower on the post test than on the modular exam section will not penalize the student. The post test will be ignored and the exam section score will count. Improving on the post test will replace that section’s score on the modular exam. The student will resubmit his/her exam grading outline

Pre-testing/Post testing is a privilege not a right!

The post test is a free attempt. Scoring lower on the post test than on the modular exam section will not penalize the student. The post test will be ignored and the exam section score will count. Improving on the post test will replace that section’s score on the modular exam and the improvement will raise the score of the modular test. A student scores 5 out of 10, post test and scores 10 out of 10. The student’s grade is improved by the net five points. . The student will resubmit his/her exam with the graded post test stapled on top for an adjustment in the modular exam score. If the student does not have her/his exam grading outline from the test, then post testing will NOT be possible.

MAKE-UP POLICY:

Make-up exams are usually not given. In the event of an unavoidable absence (jury duty, hospitalization, incarceration, and death in the immediate family), you will be allowed make-up. You must contact the instructor, no later than, the day of the exam in order to discuss what arrangements might be made. This may be done with a quick email. A message must be left on the instructor's e-mail (johtaylo@fscj.edu ) if the instructor cannot be reached. If a makeup is allowed, it must be completed prior to return of the exam papers completed by the student attending the scheduled exam. Missed exams will otherwise count as 0 points. Makeup exams may be administered in the Assessment Center. Once the test is returned and the makeup has not been completed then a zero grade will be assigned.

The instructor will discuss with the class those that are sick with colds, flu, and other common illnesses which will hinder their performance on an exam. On an individual basis he may allow make-up in the test center on exam days. Also sick children, car and transportation problems will be dealt with on an individual basis as well as those that just panic on test days or have back-to-back exams on the same day. But the rule is generally no makeup on exam day except at the instructor’s discretion. Student abuse of absences on exam day may result in strict enforcement of the no-makeup policy with only the unavoidable exceptions above allowed.

Students who take the test on the assigned test day are guaranteed to receive their graded exam on or before the next exam day after completion of the new exam, otherwise the student will be assigned a 100% grade for the un-graded paper. Students not taking the exam on exam day may not receive their grade until days or weeks after the class papers are returned and WILL NOT be awarded the 100% bonus for on-time testing.

GRADING:

Exams mainly determine a student's letter grade. The approximate grade distributions are:

90% = A Final Exams 250 points Homework 200-230 points
80% = B Four Exams 1100-1205 points Project/Papers 180 points

65% = C Labs up to 350 points
50% = D ACS Test 60 points

Attendance 70 points (includes email/time management)

*Lab is an essential part of this class. If you attend or acquire less than 70% in lab, you will automatically receive a letter grade of ‘F’ in this course.

Instructor’s Right to Change or Modify Grading Procedures:

This instructor reserves the right to make changes in this syllabus whenever he feels it is appropriate to do so. The instructor reserves the right to modify or change the grading progress as the course proceeds. Any additional course assignments will substitute for deleted items. Some may also be modified if not deleted. The instructor will not add major examinations as a modification and maintain the four exams plus final requirements and their percent distribution.

The instructor will not drop the lowest test grade. Don’t ask! Instead a student may prove comprehension of the material at a later time through post testing as arranged with the instructor. A student making an A up to the final MUST take the final to earn a final grade of A, etc.

Exams will be based on material covered in the lecture as well as reading assignments outlined on the course calendar and grading outline. The course calendar is found in the weekly group emails which will be posted as announcements on Blackboard.

Alleged Academic Dishonesty in the Classroom

A faculty member who has a concern regarding a student’s conduct in the area of academic dishonesty may elect to meet with the student directly.

Once the student is notified, it is advised that the student resolve the matter with the faculty member. However, at any time the student may request a hearing with the campus dean of student success.

Meeting(s) referenced above shall meet the College’s requirements for due process.

Following the discussion with the student, the faculty member may take one or more of the following action(s).

1. Verbally warn the student that continuation or repetition of misconduct of this nature may be cause for further disciplinary action.

2. Require the student to retake the test or rewrite the assignment.

3. Require the student to withdraw from the course.

4. Fail the student for the assignment.

5. Fail the student for the course.

6. Refer the student(s) to the campus dean of student success for possible suspension or dismissal.

For cases in which the student is referred to the campus dean of student success for action, the dean will appropriately involve the faculty member and inform the faculty member of the disposition of the matter.

Each faculty member shall communicate the College’s policy on academic dishonesty to each class section with which that faculty member is involved. (This syllabus is that communication)

Classroom Etiquette:

Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults in the classroom showing respect to their classmates. Only persons registered for this class are permitted in the classroom. As a courtesy to the instructor and your fellow classmates, cellular telephones and pagers should be cut off before entering the classroom or laboratory. Likewise, the instructor sometimes forgets to shut his down at the beginning of class, so hopefully someone sitting close to the front may remind the instructor with a hand gesture for him to check his phone. Disruptive students maybe asked to leave. Students are not to be on cell phones talking or text messaging. Students are not to be listening to the IPOD or MP3 players during class or test time. Students are not to be surfing on the Internet with PDA or laptops.

Children in the Classroom Policy: It is the goal of FSCJ to provide a safe and effective learning environment for all students. Any action, which interferes with this goal, will not be permitted. Children must not be left unattended at any time on campus. If an emergency arises which requires a student to bring an underage child (defined as any child under the age of sixteen who is not a FSCJ student enrolled in a credit class) to campus, the child must be under the direct supervision of an adult at all times. Parents and guardians of children considered disruptive or unsupervised will be asked to remove the children from the campus immediately.

Bringing children to the classroom is not permissible under most circumstances. However, if an emergency arises which necessitates bringing a child to class, the student must receive the prior consent of the faculty member involved. Children who are ill may not be brought to class regardless of the circumstances. Due to the nature of the equipment, the subject matter involved, and the level of supervision necessary, underage children will not be allowed in college laboratories or in the Learning Center at any time and/or under any circumstances.

Children enrolled in non-credit classes must be under the direct supervision of an adult at all times. Likewise, children attending campus events must be supervised at all times. Any child under the age of 16 must be under the direct supervision of his/her parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult when in the college library unless the child is part of a call AND the supervising teacher or paraprofessional is present

Studying: In order to do well in this course, it is essential to study and work problems. The following is a list of study suggestions

1) Read the text chapters using the lecture note hardcopy provided by the instructor.

2) Take good notes as you read the chapter and review them daily.

3) Work all assigned homework problems. Do not get behind!!!!!!

4) Work the practice exams that will be made available without looking at the answer key.

5) Work problems on the sample test.

6) Use the interactive CD-Rom for studying provided by the textbook.

‘Muddy Water’ Issues:

Each day, students may use the treaded discussion board on Blackboard to list muddiest water issue or send the instructor an email immediately after posting the issue. What was confusing? What don’t you understand? What problems at the end of the chapter overwhelm you? If you are absolutely on target, no problem then respond to student questions by offering you explanation of the question. .

WEB-SITE:

This course uses the fccj.us or fccj.info web site giving you access to course information. This course also uses Blackboard to list the Modular and Final Exams scores, and check-your-final grade through the Internet (Note: The course materials are not currently on Blackboard but will be posted during the term). Access the Blackboard web site through Artemis: https://artemis.fccj.edu/student/

Labs:

The district course outline has the above lists of labs. We will do at least 10 wet labs and no more than 15 total from the list. There are no make-ups for missed labs except for doing one of the outside of class projects with instructor permission. Via the permission of Dr Laurenzo you may be able to complete the lab during her two lab periods: Tuesday 1:30 o Thursday at 7:15

Lab Reports are generally due the lab period after completion of the work or in lab packets for each exam

Global Warming Project:

Write a paper on Global Warming. Take a pro or con stand on the issue. You may use references from the following film which may be shown in class.

National Geographic: Six Degrees Could Change the World (2007)

Starring: Alec Baldwin Director: Ron Bowman Rating
