The second
semester of physical chemistry contains the major topics of quantum mechanics,
bonding, and spectroscopy, with statistical thermodynamics and an introduction
to solid state chemistry. We will progress from atomic to molecular structure
with different qualitative models and computational chemistry, then extend to
rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. The solid state section
will include bonding, defects, electronic behavior, optical properties and
nanoscience.

11:00 Homework due Recitation |
11:00-≈11:20 Quiz Lecture to 12:15 (recorded) |
Homework problems
(2-4), many from textbook, will be assigned after each class meeting, and in-class
questions are expected at the beginning of the next meeting. Keys for the
textbook problems are available on Blackboard. Problems assigned on Monday
will generally be non- textbook and are due for a grade AT THE BEGINNING OF
CLASS on Wednesday. Assignments are expected to be done by hand on loose leaf
paper. No electronic submissions. Assignments that are early (email if leaving
under the door of Sims 314A) or (rarely) passed along by trusted friends are
welcome. Late submissions will not be accepted.
Quizzes (1-2 problems) will be unannounced,
closed book and held on Monday or Friday promptly at 11:00 and ending ≈11:20; the lowest quiz grade will be dropped (if you miss
any quizzes for any reason, drop up to one). Content for quizzes will be through
approximately one week before.
Quiz Grade Credit is designed to improve your skills, review, and explain any previous
errors for the quiz from the previous week. On Wednesdays after receipt of
graded quiz, DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS, you may submit a single, corrected
quiz problem for up to half of the missed points: a full, step-by-step
methodology of the problem as well as an explanation of the original errors. Submit
the original, graded quiz, and any corrections on the back or on separate
paper. Attendance at Wednesday Recitation is required for additional Quiz
Credit.
Exams will be held on the following Mondays: 2/21, 3/21 and
4/18. The final exam is
scheduled for 8:00 am, Thursday, April 28. All exams are closed-book and
include formula sheet, fundamental constants and periodic table. Content for
exams is indicated on the Lecture Schedule. The
highest exam score, including the final, is worth an additional 10%. Percentages
and minimum letter grades are below.

No make-up quizzes or exams will
be administered. For university-sanctioned absences or unanticipated absences
accompanied by appropriate documentation, dropping up to one exam will be
considered. Regular attendance is expected and crucial for satisfactory
performance in this course. Any syllabus changes will be to the lecture
schedule only, communicated on Blackboard via a modified lecture
schedule/homework file.
During this pandemic period each student is expected to act in the best
interest of the WU community by behaving responsibly to limit the spread of the
COVID-19 virus. All students, faculty, and staff must wear masks inside
buildings and classrooms, unless alone in a private office. All members of the
campus community must follow campus guidance on masking. Please do not attend
class if you have fever or any signs of the COVID virus; do not attend class if
your roommate or someone you have close contact with acquires the virus and be
respectful of others’ desire to remain COVID-free. Students who violate WU
guidelines will be asked to comply. Continued failure to comply may result in
referral to the Dean of Students Office as a student conduct violation.
If
you haven’t already, please familiarize yourself with Winthrop’s Return
to Learn protocols. Let’s do
all we can to keep each other, and surrounding community, healthy!
Students should contact Health Services regarding a positive test, close
contact, or enhanced COVID-like symptoms. Any student who has either tested
positive, has COVID-like symptoms, or has close contact with someone who has
COVID, must contact Health Services. Students should log in to the Medicat
Patient Portal to schedule a TELEPHONE TRIAGE Appointment
w/ COVID as the reason and upload the positive test result if
applicable. Health Services will communicate with the student on what steps to
take next, and if need be, the Dean of Students Office will get absence
verification for required isolation and quarantine. Students who verify their
absences through the Dean of Students Office often minimize any academic impact
caused by missed class time. Health Services will only provide dates of
absence, not medical information. Please note, residential students who test positive
or are a close contact are expected to follow their personal COVID
Quarantine and Isolation Plan.
Winthrop University is dedicated to providing access
to education. If you have a disability and require specific accommodations to
complete this course, contact the Office of
Accessibility (OA) at 803-323-3290 or accessibility@winthrop.edu.
Once you have your official notice of accommodations from the Office of
Disability Services, please inform me as early as possible in the semester.
Students who are enrolled in hybrid/online
courses are entitled to the same campus resources available to on-campus
students. These resources included admissions counseling, library, student
services, and recreational facilities. A list of these resources is provided in

If you have a
general question that might be asked by other students, please use the “Ask the
Instructor” Bb forum or Slack channel. Questions specific to a particular lab
assignment, technique or analysis should be directed to the appropriate Slack
channel.
4.
In the spirit of
a learning community, students are encouraged to help each other by responding
to questions from other students.
5.
When interacting
with your fellow students online, in Bb forums, Slack or email, remember to
communicate with the same level of clarity, professionalism and respect that
you would practice in face to face communication.
6.
If you are
participating in a live video conference, present yourself in a professional
manner, with attention to your voice clarity, sound quality, lighting and film
environment.
7.
For backup
purposes, compose messages and posts in a word processor, then copy and paste
the message into the discussion or message.
8.
For private
messages to the instructor or another student, only use Winthrop email.
Many
students find that responsibilities for online courses differ significantly
from traditional courses. The following statements outline some of your basic
responsibilities for this course. If you believe you will have difficulty
meeting these responsibilities, it is essential that we find a way to maximize
your learning experience. Please be in contact with me about any challenges,
and pledge the following:
1.
I
will ask questions immediately if I don't understand instructions or due dates
for assignments.
2.
I
will organize my time in order to complete assignments in a thoughtful and on-time
manner.
3.
I
understand that failure of technology is not an excuse for turning assignments
in late.
4.
I will review the technical support information in the Blackboard Tutorials
& Campus Resources and Introduction modules, contacting
support services as needed.
5.
I
understand that there are other sources of technology for me to use if my
primary source fails, such as libraries, campus labs, or friends' computers.
6.
I
will participate fully in assignments by following the instructions, responding
to my lab partners respectfully and completing my contributions on time.
7.
I
will log in to class at least 3 times per week and spend an appropriate amount
of time each week completing course materials.
