Grading is straight percentages: 90+, A; 80-89.999, B; 70-79.999, C; 60-69.999, D; Below 60, F.
Makeup Exams: Makeup exams will be given at the end of the semester. Makeup exams are only given if you miss an exam for any reason. I do not drop the lowest test score and I do not replace the lowest score with the final. If you do not feel you are prepared to take an exam, you can always take a makeup exam.
CHEM 1013. General Chemistry I Study of chemical reactions and equations, periodic relationships, the gaseous state, and the fundamentals of atomic theory, quantum theory, electronic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry and thermochemistry. Special course fees may apply. Prerequisite, MATH 1023 or ACT composite score of 23 or higher. Prior completion of CHEM 1003 or high school chemistry strongly recommended.

General Education Goal |
|
Students should understand how science is conducted and the criteria
for scientific evidence so that they will be able to make informed decisions
about the health and well-being of their communities and the natural
environment. They should be aware of the ethical and political issues
raised by science. |
|
General Education Student Learning Outcome |
|
Students will be able to apply foundational knowledge of the various
sciences to make informed decisions. |
Exams will be given after each
of the following units:
|

Final exam: Tuesday, April 30, 10:15 am. Room TBA. ALL chemistry exams are given at this time. Do not look at the final exam schedule for 8 am TR classes. The final is not comprehensive.
Federal Law prohibits discussion of your grade with anyone. Also grades cannot be given by e-mail or over the phone.
The use of graphing calculators or calculators with extended memory is not allowed on exams. The calculator must be able to do scientific notation, multiple roots and natural logarithms. Cell phone calculators will not be allowed.
Students are responsible for the names and symbols for the elements (element list). Students are also responsible for knowing the ions posted on the web (list of ions).
Students who require academic
adjustments in the classroom due to a disability must first
register with ASU Access
and Accommodation Services. Following registration and within the
first two
weeks of class, please contact me to discuss appropriate academic
accommodation.
Appropriate arrangements can be made to ensure equal access to this course.
