Welcome to Chemistry 2A, Introduction to Chemistry. This class is for
students who have not had chemistry in high school it is required for
nursing majors, meets the lab science requirement and is a
prerequisite for General Chemistry (Chem. 1A). IF YOU HAVE HAD
CHEMISTRY PREVIOUSLY IN HIGH SCHOOL (and passed it): take your
transcripts to the admissions office, take the chemistry placement
exam (pass it) and you do not have to take Chem. 2A to enter Chem.1A
Standard Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the
course, students should be able to:
1.
Solve basic level problems (using formulae and unit analysis)
relating to unit conversions, stoichiometry, gas law
equations, concentrations of solutions, pH, and nuclear
chemistry.
2. Describe and apply a chemical vocabulary of approximately 200
words.
3. Apply the systematic naming system to name inorganic and
simple organic compounds. Apply Lewis Theory to ionic and
covalent bonding.
4. Relate chemical concepts to physical phenomena in the areas of
health, the environment, and their everyday lives.
5. Collect data using accurate qualitative observations and
quantitative measurements of length, mass, temperature, and
volume.
Text: You are required to have a text book: General, Organic and
Biological Chemistry by Smith (3rd edition) and the lab manual:
Sometimes, Seeing is Believing by Amrich et al. both are available in
the campus bookstore and the textbook is available on-line. You are
expected to use the Powerpoints found on my website in the lecture.
Either bring a device to view the Powerpoint presentation or print it
out.
Cell phones: If your cell phone rings, you are talking on the cell
phone or text messaging I will ask you to leave for the day.
Other requirements: you will need a scientific calculator for this
course, your cell phone is not good enough (and I won’t let you use
it). A periodic table is helpful and there are many to be found on the
web.
Exams, handouts and quizzes: There will be 4 exams during the semester
(100 points each these exams are worth 60% of your grade. Exams will
include some or all of the following types of problems: workout
problems, multiple-choice, true-false, fill in the blank, matching and
anything else I find interesting. Weeks in which there is not an exam
there will be a quiz. I will also have handouts for extra practice,
some will be collected, some will not. Quizzes and collected handouts
will contribute to 15% of your grade I DO NOT DROP ANY EXAM GRADE.
Homework: Homework will be assigned but not collected, it is
worthwhile doing because the problems may show up on the exams and
quizzes and will help you. Don’t limit the homework you do to that
assigned, if you are having problems do extra homework.
Missed exams, quizzes and handouts: If you miss an exam you must call
me immediately so I do not drop you from the course. If I have not
returned the graded exam to the class and you have a doctors excuse I
will let you take the exam. If you miss a second exam you should drop
the course because there is no make-up for that exam. Quizzes and
Handouts cannot be made up under any circumstances.
Laboratory Laboratory work is worth 25% of your grade. We will have a
lab each day. You cannot make it up other than the day it is
offered. You may not move your morning lab to the afternoon on exam
day. You are allowed to move your lab 2 times during the semester
(i.e. morning lab to afternoon). You are required to have a
laboratory lab manual. You may not turn in a handwritten lab. Do not
bring food, drink, or cigarettes into the lab. You may not listen to
music in the lab. You are required to wear safety goggles and can be
asked to leave if you don’t. Laboratory is designed to help you
It’s a lot of fun.
understand concepts. Come prepared to learn.
Grades: The lecture is worth 75% of your grade(60% exams 15 % handouts
and quizzes) and the lab is worth 25%.
The grading will be as
follows:
A-90-100%, B-78-89.9%, C-65%-77.9%, D-55-64.9%, F<55%
Extra Help: If you are having problems in class come to my office or
lab. You can also get a tutor at the tutoring center 222-8168. If
you are disabled don’t hesitate to contact disabled student services
at 222-8060. We all have different learning styles. It is great to
use all services available to help you learn. If I am not in my
office don’t hesitate to ask another chemistry instructor for help. We
are all here to help you.
Cheating: A zero on the assignment and a trip to the Dean’s
office.
