ABSENTEE POLICY

            To be successful in General Organic Chemistry, it is essential that you attend classes regularly.  If this is not possible, then arrangements should be made with the instructor in advance.

 

CHEATING POLICY

            Cheating will not be tolerated.  Anyone found cheating will receive an automatic "F" for the particular assignment, lab, or exam. A second offense will result in dismissal from the course with a final course grade of "F."

 

EXAMINATION POLICY

            Exams will be given at the end a combination of two or three chapters in the text.  Each exam will be worth 100 points. Only in very rare, extreme cases will make-up exams be given. Exams will comprise 50% of the grade. The lowest exam score will be dropped.

 

HOMEWORK (15%)

            Homework assignments will be given over each chapter covered.  Some assignments will be done in groups.  All homework will be added together and will count 15% of the grade. Late homework will only be accepted if it is turned in within 5 class periods. Homework turned in late will receive a maximum of 50%. Two late assignments will be forgiven with no penalty.

 

LABS (25%)

         All safety procedures must be followed in lab.  Any person wearing clothing that comes above the knee will not be allowed in lab.  Sleeveless clothing is also not permitted.  If this is a burden, a lab coat may be borrowed. Open-toed shoes are not permitted in the lab (i.e. sandals). Chemical splash goggles will be provided and will be worn at all times.  Each student is required to maintain a lab notebook. The lab notebook will be due by Friday at 11:00 AM. The lowest lab grade will be dropped.

 

GRADING

            Grades will be determined from the following percentage scale.

 

            90 - 100%       A

            80 -  89%        B

            65 -  79%        C

            50 -  64%        D

            0    - 49%        F

 

            Final grades will be determined as follows:

 

            EXAMS             50%

            LABS                 25%

            HOMEWORK                  15%

            FINAL EXAM           10%
