Outline: This is the second semester of General Chemistry, an introductory
chemistry course for science and engineering students. The course
will cover a wide range of modern topics from the chemical
sciences. During this semester we will examine these subjects:
*
Kinetics
*
Chemical Equilibrium
* Acids and Bases
*
Aqueous Equilibria
*
Chemical Thermodynamics
*
Electrochemistry
*
Environmental Chemistry
* Nuclear Chemistry
Study Tips: 1. Attend class, take
good notes, ask questions
2. Read all assigned material before and after hearing a lecture
on it
3. Work assigned problems
4. Review lecture notes
Tests:
Test 1 (July 17, Tuesday)
Test 2 (July 25, Wednesday)
Test 3 (August 2, Thursday)
Final Exam - August 8
* Each test will have a value of 100 points
* Quizzes will periodically be given and homework
will periodically be collected for grading. The assigned grade
for this will have a value of 150 points
* The final exam will cover the entire course and will have
a value
of 200 points
Grades: A:
88 - 100%
B: 76 - 88%
C: 66 - 76%
D: 56 - 66%
Attendance: You are expected to be in class, every class meeting, for the full
scheduled time and are responsible for anything that may occur or be
said during that time. Students who are successful in this course are
those who come to the lectures, do the homework as we go, and take
all the tests with as much effort as possible. This takes many hours of
effort per week. You must attend at least 85% of the class meetings in
order to receive credit in the class.
Absence from a test without a written doctor's excuse is inexcusable
and the student will receive a zero for that test. Absence from a test
with a doctor's excuse will be accepted and the grade on the final exam
will replace that specific grade.
Drop Policy: As described in the Winthrop University Undergraduate catalog
Lab: CHEM 106 has a co-requisite laboratory course (CHEM 108).
You must be registered for both courses, unless previous credit
has been given. If you decide to drop CHEM 106, you must also
drop CHEM 108 and vice-versa
