Academic Discipline Program Learning Outcomes

1. To provide the student a basic and practical understanding of chemistry (formulas, reactions, and calculations) and recognize its relevance in our daily lives. 2. To prepare our students to meet with success in higher level chemistry and other science courses when they transfer to four-year universities. 3. To prepare our students for professional programs requiring a mastery of General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, such as Nursing, Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. 4. To enhance class lectures with a meaningful, hands-on laboratory experience involving making measurements, observing reactions, evaluating the results and drawing conclusions with the involvement of lab group or other class members.

EGLS3: Evaluation of Greater Learning Student Survey

At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term.

Course Calendar Tentative Course Schedule* (See last page of syllabus) DISCLAIMER: The instructor reserves the right to modify this syllabus as needed and will notify the students of any changes using the HCC e-mail or Eagle Online e-mail or announcements in class.

Student Assignments Outside of laboratory reports (for the course with lab), special assignments are normally not required. Practice problems, such as those at the end of the chapters, are highly beneficial, indeed essential, to learning chemistry. I recommend that you work as many of the even-numbered end of chapter problems as you can (these have answers in the back of your textbook). Use the practice exams too!

Student Assessment(s) The overall score is based on the following:

Assignment Grade Weight

12 Online Pre-Lecture Quizzes 10%

12 Online Group Practice Sessions 10%

3 Online Quizzes 10% 3 Online Lecture Exams 45%

1 On-Campus Comprehensive Final Exam 25%

The course grade is based on the overall score: Score = (0.20 * Average Quizzes) + (0.60 * Average Exams) + (0.20 * Final Exam)

HCC Grading Scale A = 100 – 90: 4 points psh IP (In Progress): 0 points psh B = 89 – 80: 3 points psh W(Withdrawn): 0 points psh C = 79 – 70: 2 points psh I (Incomplete): 0 points psh D = 69 – 60: 1 points psh AUD (Audit): 0 points psh F = 59 and below 0 points psh psh: per semester hour IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted; The grades “IP,” “ OM” and “I” do not affect GPA.

Instructor Grading Criteria See the above descriptions of the lab (1405 only), exams, quizzes, and final. The course grade is based on these criteria according to the Assessment section above.

Instructor’s Requirements Exams and Make-up Policy A total of four (4) exams will be given, and they all count towards your final grade. The first three exams will be given online during the semester. The final exam is comprehensive, and will be administered on campus at the end of the semester. There is no makeup of any exam under ANY circumstances. If you miss an exam, the final exam grade will replace the missed exam. However, missing more than one exam will result in a score of zero. If you take all first 3 exams, the final exam will replace your lowest exam score if it is higher. Please note: 1) All students are required to take the final exam on campus (no student can be exempted) 2) A student who completes the course by taking the final exam cannot receive a "W" in the course. ! “W” can only be received on or before the last date of withdrawal. 3) “Bonus Question” will be given within lecture exams for extra points; 4) No other type of extra-credit work will be given to “bring up your grade”. Quizzes There will be three quizzes to take online just before the exams. These will help you assess yourselves before the big tests. They are graded so you do need to do well. There is no make up for the quizzes either.

Program/Discipline Requirements

At the program level, the Chemistry Discipline strives to accomplish the Program Learning Outcomes, Student Learning Outcomes, and Learning Objectives as described above.
