Chemistry Outcomes:
        CHEM2411 supports outcomes 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the chemistry minor:

• Outcome 1.  To develop more experience with problem solving in chemistry courses and labs.  
• Outcome 2.  To participate in interdisciplinary learning through the opportunity to apply analytical techniques learned in the chemistry courses to upper level courses in other disciplines.
• Outcome 3.  To learn more about chemical systems and to apply this knowledge to scientific questions.
• Outcome 5.  To provide better preparation for graduate and professional schooling.

        Biology Outcomes:

• Outcome 3:    Knowledge of physical science, mathematics, and statistics required to support an understanding of biology.

Textbook Information:

Text:

Organic Chemistry by L.G. Wade, 6th or 7th Ed., Prentice-Hall

Text Coverage:

Chapters 1 - 7

Evaluation:

Your evaluation in CHEM2411 will be based upon the following components:  

The mid-term grade in this course which will be issued on June 24th, reflects approximately 16% of the entire course grade.  Based on this grade, students may choose to withdraw from the course and receive a grade of "W."  Students pursuing this option must fill out an official withdrawal form, available in the Office of the Registrar, by mid-term, which occurs on June 26th.

Grading:

The grade you receive in Chemistry 2411 will be based upon the following distribution:

Course Policies:

Homework:

This course demands and expects approximately two hours of work per night. Reading assignments are tentatively made on this syllabus. The student is expected to complete all chapter problems upon completion of each topic in class. However, these will not be collected or graded. Completion of homework is your responsibility. Supplementary problems will also be assigned.

Attendance:

Class roll will be taken, however, attendance is not required except for classroom assessments. You are responsible for all attendance requirements for external programs (i.e. financial aid). It is your responsibility to sign the roll sheet at every class meeting you attend. This roll sheet is the instructor's official record. You will be held responsible for all announcements and material covered in lecture in addition to text, references, hand-outs and study guides.  Note: Lectures will contain valuable explanations of content and thought processes which are difficult for most students to extract from the text book on their own. Therefore, regular attendance is strongly encouraged.

Academic Irregularity:

Cheating in any form will not be tolerated. Consequences may include a zero grade on the assessment instrument, or possible action by the College Judicial Board of Review.

Disruption of the Learning Environment:

Behavior which disrupts the teaching–learning process during class activities will not tolerated.  While a variety of behaviors can be disruptive in a classroom setting, more serious examples include belligerent, abusive, profane, and/or threatening behavior.  A student who fails to respond to reasonable faculty direction regarding classroom behavior and/or behavior while participating in classroom activities may be dismissed from class.  A student who is dismissed is entitled to due process and will be afforded such rights as soon as possible following dismissal.  If found in violation, a student may be administratively withdrawn and may receive a grade of WF. A more detailed description of examples of disruptive behavior and appeal procedures is provided at:
