 The instructor is available for additional office hours by appointment.  Appointments must be made at least two days in advance, except for extreme emergencies. Office hours are subject to change

 

email: johtaylo@fccj.edu 

 

E-Mail assignments to both addresses below

Subjects of emails must describe briefly the assignments being submitted and begin with the # 46:

 i.e. 46: First Email or 46: your subject

 

Email Requirement:


Each student should send the instructor an email during the first week from both your FCCJ 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:

46: first email

 

Tell me about yourself. Why are you taking this course? When did you complete CHM 2045C, where, with which instructor, and your grade. 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 46:

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.  The student will fill out a data card similar to your instructor one the last page of this syllabus One student will serve as attendance monitor and record the day’s attendance for end of term point assignment. Student may be asked to sign lab role twice, once in the beginning of lab and then when they leave noting time out.

 

 

Study Groups/Phone Network/Lab Partner:

         On the first day of class each student will complete a Data Card, Interview a peer, and introduce (if time permits) that peer to the class. From these exercises and the learning styles inventory, study groups, a phone network, and lab partners need to be established. Study areas, as well as the classroom, should be used for study groups plus lunch and learn sessions. Some portions of the office times may meet in the library computer learning lab. Each week volunteers will be appreciated to assist in the group operation of the class. The first personal assistant volunteer will prepare a matrix with each student’s free study time so that study groups may begin to be formed the second week of school. The phone network will be established so that in case of emergencies by the instructor each student will be responsible to call two other students in the network to alert the student of the emergency so that information may be distributed prior to the next scheduled class. Emergencies will usually also include a group email on the morning/afternoon of the class meeting.

 

 

Daily Pretest Quizzes (optional):  

Pretest quizzes may be administered before (12:00-12:15), sometimes during, and/or after (1:45-3:30 T) every class which is not a scheduled exam day or after lab at 5:00pm. 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.

 

 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 copies of the cover sheet of the pretest packet and on the front page of each Modular exam packet.

 

 The student will skip the section of the modular exam that is pre-tested.  The Pretest scores sometimes may be recorded on the attendance sheet, but only for your instructor’s sense of current levels of class achievement. If you loose 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 and are usually never pre-tested or 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.

 

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 are suggestions for paper and pencil homework in the textbook. The grading outline may be found at:

Kotz 6th Edition:  http://www.fccj.us/chm2046/46grdF08.htm

McMurray 5th edition: http://www.fccj.us/chm2046/46grdF10McM.htm

 

Pre-testing is a privilege not a right!

 

Our classroom D-210 does not have a scheduled class in the room after our class

on Tuesday and Thursday. Before class the room is not available until 12:00 Pretesting may begin at 12:00 p.m. each class day and must be completed before class begins at 12:15 unless otherwise specified by the instructtor. Students who are late to class will not be allowed to pretest until after class. Students should plan to stay late if they can not arrive early. Many times the pretest will not be administered till the last 10 minutes of class so that student may complete the item after class has concluded. Pretest will be graded for all students who stay after class or lab. Pretesting may also be done after lab fro 5:00-6:00 pm.

 

MAKE-UP POLICY:

Make-up exams are usually not given. In the event of an unavoidable absence on exam day (jury duty, hospitalization, incarceration, and death in the immediate family), you will be allowed make-up tests only upon the instructor’s approval.. You must contact the instructor, no later than, the week 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@fccj.edu ) or his office phone 766-6763 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 students attending the scheduled exam. Missed exams will otherwise count as 0 points. Papers are returned usually after one or two weekends after the exam.

 

 

 

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

These ‘no shows’ must be reported to Admissions and Records by Monday September 13 .

 

 

Academic Misconduct:

         Academic misconduct or dishonesty such as cheating and plagiarism is not permitted.  Suspected cases may be reported to the FSCJ administration and/or may result in failure of an assignment, failure in the course or exclusion from the class. Also, the instructor reserves the right to reassign work to students and void any papers at any time. No questions asked-The instructor may tell the student to reattempt the work to earn the daily quiz grade or examination grade or the instructor may assign a zero). The following are excerpts from the Student Catalog and are rules for the operation of this course:

 “Academic dishonesty, in any form, is expressly prohibited by the rules of the District Board of Trustees of Florida State College at Jacksonville.

As used herein, academic dishonesty incorporates the following.

  • Cheating, which is defined as the giving or taking of any information or material with the intent of wrongfully aiding one’s self or another in academic work considered in the determination of course grade or the outcome of a standardized test.
  • Plagiarism, which is defined as the act of stealing or passing off as one’s own work the words, ideas or conclusions of another as if the work submitted were the product of one’s own thinking rather than an idea or product derived from another source.
  • Any other form of inappropriate behavior which may include but is not limited to: falsifying records or data, lying, unauthorized copying, tampering, abusing or otherwise unethically using computer or other stored information, and any other act or misconduct which may reasonably be deemed to be a part of this heading.

 

  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.

 

Children in the Classroom Policy:  It is the goal of FCCJ 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 FCCJ 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

 

Instructor Requested Information:

 During the first week of class, the student will fill out a 4x6 file card. The instructor has provided a sample below with his personal data and his block scheduled time.  The completion of this card is worth (2 points) toward the student's final grade
