WebCT Site :- There is a website for this course on WebCT ( http://www.uoit.ca/connect/ ).

- All important information related to this course, including this course outline,announcements, test schedules, lab manual and lecture notes will be posted there.

- The site will be updated regularly so visit it frequently.- It is recommended that all questions related to course materials should be directed to the

WebCT discussion boards so that all students can benefit from the answers.- Students are encouraged to discuss and/or answer each others questions in a professional

manner.

LaboratoriesLab Coordinator: Dr. Richard Bartholomew ( [email protected] )

- Because chemistry is, at its very heart, an experimental science you must achieve a grade

of 7.5/15 on the laboratories to receive a passing grade in the course. - Laboratory experiments will be conducted to emphasize and illustrate the concepts presented in the lectures.

- Laboratory sessions are 2 hours long. There is one experiment every two weeks for a totalof six experiments.

- Attendance in laboratories is mandatory.


3/6


- The first five laboratory reports must be submitted by the beginning of the nextlaboratory period. The last laboratory report must be submitted by the end of thelaboratory period.

- Safety goggles and lab coats are mandatory for the lab.- The lab manual is available for download on the WebCT site.

-

Chemistry 1800 labs and tutorials will begin on Monday January 12th

2009

Policy on Carry Forward of Laboratory MarksIf you should fail the course but pass the laboratory portion, you may be eligible to carryforward your laboratory marks. That is, you may be able to repeat the course without having torepeat the laboratories. In order to qualify for this option a number of conditions must be metincluding:

- You must have completed all the laboratory work with a passing grade.- You may only carry forward the mark to the next offering of Chemistry 1800U.- You must apply to Sarah Innes, Student Advisor for the Faculty of Science, for the carry

forward within 14 days of the release of grades by the Registrars Office.

-

Your application to carry forward must be approved by the Dean of the Faculty ofScience (or designate).

Other conditions also apply; these will be explained if you apply for the carry forward.

Tutorials- Problems relating to the lecture material will be suggested to develop problem solving

skills and to reinforce the material presented in lectures.- The tutorials are designed to provide assistance with course material and with the

problem sets.- Attendance at the tutorials is not mandatory, but if you are having trouble with the

material, it is advisable that you seek help in the tutorial sessions.- Chemistry 1800 labs and tutorials will begin on Monday January 12 th 2009

Quizzes:- At the end of every tutorial a 15-20 minute quiz will be given.- The quiz will cover material already discussed the previous week.- If you are not present at the time of the quiz you will receive a mark of 0 for the quiz.- There will be six quizzes in total- 5 will each be worth 2% of your final mark for a total of 10% (your lowest grade will be

dropped)

Academic Integrity- Except for exams and tests, it is assumed that you can discuss problems and assignments

among yourselves and with tutors and the professor, so long as what you turn in is yourown work. In other words, the discussions are part of the learning process; once you learnhow to approach a problem, you are expected to solve it yourself, write up your ownsubmission, and that is what you turn in.

- It is dishonest to turn in as your own any work which has been copied from the work ofsomeone else.

The faculty member may require students to submit their

assignments electronically to Turnitin.com or the faculty member may submit questionable texton behalf of a student. The terms that apply to UOIT's use of the Turnitin.com service aredescribed on the Turnitin.com website.

- If a student objects to the use of Turnitin.com, that student must sign and submit theAssignment Cover Sheet and that work will not be submitted to Turnitin.com

- This cover sheet available on the course website on WebCT.- Students who have any concerns about the use of Turnitin.com are encouraged to include

temporary or permanent disabilities who require accommodations to be made in order to be successful at post secondary education.

- Students who have accommodation letters should consult with the instructor as soon as possible.

- More information can be found here: http://www.dc-uoit.ca/EN/main/csd.html

Computer Assignments: Mastering General Chemistry- You will be using MasteringChemistry software for online problem sets throughout the

semester.- There will be 3 assignments, each worth 3.33% of your mark- To access the software, you must have cookies and JavaScript enabled for your browser.

Class Policies- If you should miss term test or the final exam due to illness or bereavement, you must

provide documentation to Sarah Innes (science student advisor) within five (5) days ofthe test or exam. An official form is available from her (and from the Registrars Office)and you must use this form.

-

If you should miss a Laboratory due to illness or bereavement, you must providedocumentation to Richard Bartholomew within five (5) days of theLaboratory. Anofficial form is available from Sarah Innes (academic advisor) (and from the RegistrarsOffice) and you must use this form.

- In rare cases laboratories may be re-scheduled but this is dependent on availability. - Term tests will not be re-scheduled; the marks apportioned to a missed term test will be

added to the marks apportioned for the final exam. - If the final exam is missed and acceptable documentation is provided, the student will be

eligible to write a deferred exam early in the following semester. - Students may be excused from laboratories, term tests and the final exam due to religious

observance. However, application to be excused must be submitted to Sarah Innes at least

seven (7) days in advance of the observance. - Please consult the science webpage ( http://science.uoit.ca ) for complete policy details.
