General Education Goal Statement
The General Education Goals are designed to ensure that graduates of Tulsa Community College have the skills,
knowledge and attitudes to carry them successfully through their work and personal lives .
Course Description
This course is designed for science and science-related majors. This course includes the fundamental laws and theories
dealing with structure and interaction of matter and use of these principles in understanding the properties of matter,
chemical bonding, chemical reactions, physical states of matter, changes of state and solutions.
Course Objectives
This course will deal with the fundamental laws and theories that interrelate chemical and physical properties of matter.
Terminology and vocabulary for chemist will be developed and applied. During laboratory sessions, the student will have
the opportunity to develop good laboratory practices by perform simple lab procedures and practice safe handling of lab
chemicals and equipment.
Teaching Methods
The lecture portion of this class will be conducted in the classical lecture and discussion mode using PowerPoint and the
marker board. The student should read the lecture and lab material before class. The students should bring their books to
class. The student must invest, at a minimum, an equal amount of time outside of class compared to in-class time to
properly prepare and benefit from the course. Questions and participation in class lectures is strongly encouraged.
Chapter PowerPoints and homework assignments will be placed on BlackBoard for the class.
ADA Policy
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: Students with documented disabilities are provided academic accommodations
through the disABLED Student Resources Center (918-595-7115) or Resource Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
(918-595-7428/TDD-TTY 918-595-7434). If any student is in need of academic accommodations from either office, it is
the student's responsibility to advise the instructor so an appropriate referral can be made no later than the first week of
class. Students may also contact the disABLED Student Services Offices directly at the phone numbers indicated.
ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED UNLESS APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IS
PROVIDED TO THE DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES OFFICES TO SUPPORT THE NEED.
Evaluation Techniques
A student’s overall grade will result from five regular exams (60%), homework (10%), laboratory assignments (20%) and
semester exam (10%). The lowest regular exam score, the lowest homework score and the lowest lab score will be
excluded when determining the final grade.
Pre-Lab report (25% of lab exercise score) is due at the beginning of the lab exercise. Without the pre-lab report,
a student will not be allowed to perform the lab exercise. Lab Exercise reports are due one week after the lab was
to be completed unless otherwise instructed. Students, that are wearing opened-toed shoes or no safety goggles, will be
instructed to leave the laboratory and will forfeit the points for that lab exercise.
Lab exercises can only be completed on the day scheduled, unless date is changed for the entire class.
Only one time can an exam be taken outside of the regularly, scheduled time.
Final grades are based upon a weighted percentage from the various class activities. The overall accumulated
percentage determines your grade. The range of accumulated percentages is shown below for the different letter grades.
Overall % = 0.6 (EXAMavg) + 0.10 (HWavg)+ 0.20 (LABavg) + 0.10 (Sem. Exam Score)
Grading Scale
A = 90% or greater
B = 80 - less than 90 %
C = 70 - less than 80 %
D = 60 - less than 70 %
F = less than 60 %
Percentage of Class Activities
Regular Exam points: 60 %
Homework points: 10 %
Lab Points: 20 %
Semester Exam points: 10 %
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAWAL WITHOUT GRADE or CHANGE “CREDIT TO AUDIT” IS April. 8th.
Failure to Withdrawal Policy
Failure to withdraw may result in a student receiving a grade of "F" at the end of the semester.
The student has the sole responsibility to initiate and carry out withdrawal procedures, except an administration
withdrawal (AW and WN).
Attendance Policy
Students are encouraged to attend class on a regular basis. If there is any conflict to take a regular exam at scheduled
date, it is the students responsibility to in form the instructor before the exam is to be taken, so arrangements can be made
to take it some other time within three days before and three days after the scheduled time. Attendance will be taken, but
attendance will not be a percent of your overall grade.
Inclement Weather
TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise, TCC always gives cancellation notices to
radio and television station. This information is also posted on the TCC website (www.tulsacc.edu).
Any decision to close TCC is NOT determined by any other organization.
Institutional Statement
Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, TCC Student Handbook,
TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook, and semester information listed the Class Schedule.
Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is claiming, indicating or implying that the ideas, sentences or words of another are your own. It includes
having another do work claimed to be your own, copying the work of another and presenting it as your own or following
the work of another as a guide to ideas and expression that are then presented as yours.
Classroom Etiquette
No drinking or eating will be allowed during lecture sessions or lab sessions. The use of any electronic device is up to the
discretion of the instructor. Disruptive behavior in lecture or lab will not be tolerated. At the instructor’s discretion, a
student may forfeit all points for the lecture or lab session due to a disruptive behavior of the student.
Academic Dishonesty or Misconduct
Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned nor tolerated at campuses with the Tulsa Community College
system. Academic dishonesty is behavior in which a deliberately fraudulent misrepresentation is employed in an attempt
to gain undeserved intellectual credit, either for oneself or for another. Academic misconduct is behavior that results in
intellectual advantage obtained by violating specific standard, but without deliberate intent or use of fraudulent means.
The student should review the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook.
Computer Services Acceptable Use
Access to computing resources is a privilege granted to all TCC faculty, staff, and students. Use of TCC computing
resources is limited to purposes related to the College’s mission of education, research, and community service. Student
use of technology is governed by the Computer Services Acceptable Use Statements/Standards found in the TCC Student
Code of Conduct Policy Handbook. These handbooks may be obtained by contacting any Student Activities or Dean of
Student Services Office.
Changes in Syllabus
Class will be informed in advance of any changes in the syllabus.
ACADEMIC CALENDAR STANDARD
All classes are expected to meet for sixteen weeks, and no institution, academic department, or individual faculty
member is authorized to reduce the number of academic weeks in the standard semester without specific approval
of the State Regents. Those institutions which reserve the final week of the semester as a testing period shall ensure
that all classes meet during the testing period.
