Skills and Competencies
Valencia faculties have defined four interrelated competencies (Value, Think, Communicate, and
Act) that prepare students to succeed in the world community. These competencies are
outlined in the College Catalog. In this course, through classroom discussion, group work, labs,
and other learning activities, you will further develop your mastery of these core competencies.
Specifically, during quizzes and exams you will be asked to communicate your knowledge of the
information in a coherent manner with the use of relevant information to support your
answer/opinion/analysis. Thinking skills will be developed in all aspects of this course,
specifically, critical thinking skills will be necessary in order to internalize chemical concepts and
problem-solving skills as well as communicate answers effectively. Value skills will be addressed
in terms of valuing the usefulness of the scientific method of real-life scenarios as well as
understanding basic scientific information in order to be able to understand the relevance of
current scientific discoveries in relation to your life (such as environmental and medical
information).
Homework: An OWLv2 access code is needed to register and do your online homework for this
course. Students can obtain access to OWLv2 through a Code Exchange program. If you are
eligible for this program, please go to Canvas to access the Code Exchange web link and fill out a
request form. Please submit only one code exchange request as multiple requests will be denied
by publisher. Be aware that OWLv2 access permission can take up to three (3) days to process.

16063. Notify your instructor immediately if you enrolled in the incorrect course section. If a
used textbook was obtained instead, an access code can be purchased separately with an ebook in this website. Each assignment for each chapter covered must be completed by the
assigned date and time deadline. Due dates and times will usually fall on a Thursday at 11:55
pm. There is NO Make-up Homework… No Exceptions! even if you have computer, software or
internet problems. Homework will have a percent weight of 15% on your final course grade.
Grading Policy: The final grade for this course will be based upon the student’s performance on
online homework, lab reports, weekly quizzes, three-unit exams, and a final exam. The grade
percent distribution by percent weights for each type of assessment is as follows: 40% lecture
exams, 15% online homework, 10% weekly quizzes, 15% lab reports and 20% final exam. The
final grade will be determined according to the grading scale described below.

*** Grades are NOT rounded up. For example, a student must have 90.0% or higher for an A. A grade of
89.99% is a B.
Exams: Three (3) one hour exams will be given this term and must be taken when scheduled. No
makeup exams will be given. Each exam is worth 100 points and they collectively make up 40%
of the final course grade. Please see final exam policy for possible grade replacement.
Labs: Lab reports will make up 15% of the final grade. Every lab will start from a short quiz (5%)
related to the specific experimental session performed that day. Pre-labs and lab reports (10 %)
due are collected at the beginning of lab class. Lab reports can be submitted by 2 students that
work together through the semester via experimental procedures If you are late or don’t have
your pre-lab completed, you will be dismissed from lab without credit to pre-lab and you won’t
be allowed to take a quiz. NO make-up laboratories are arranged due to lab space and use
limitations. Lab starts at 4:00 pm every Wednesday according to the schedule on page 8.
Lab Safety Rules and Agreement form must be read, filled out, signed and turned in at the
beginning of the first lab meetings. The Lab Safety Rules and Agreement form will be uploaded
3
lOMoARcPSD|15448008
on Canvas. You must follow the Laboratory Safety Rules in order to conduct lab experiments.
Otherwise, you will be dismissed from the lab and it will count as an absent. The laboratory
environment often will involve the use of and/or exposure to chemicals or other hazardous
substances/equipment. If you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant during this course
and are concerned about your exposure to these chemicals or hazardous
substances/equipment, please see your instructor to discuss possible alternative arrangements.
Students are also invited to contact Mr. Ryan Kane, Title IX Coordinator/Equal Opportunity
Officer, 407-582 3421, rkane8@valenciacollege.edu, regarding requests for alternative
arrangements relating to pregnancy.
Pre-Lab Assignments: The pre-lab assignments can be found in the lab manual. Pre-labs
assignments for the upcoming experiment must be completed before you arrive to the lab. If
the pre-lab is not completed or you are late, you will be dismissed from lab and will receive no
points for pre-lab. Pre-labs will be validated with initials by instructor at the beginning of the
lab period.
Data Tables and Post Labs: Data tables and post-lab exercise can also be found in the lab
manual. Data tables must be completed during lab time and will be validated with initials by
instructor upon completion. Post-lab exercises can be completed at home. Lab Report: A due
lab report must include experiment’s pre-lab, data table and post-lab answers in this order and
stapled when submitting. Lab reports missing parts, not in order or stapled will not receive
credit. Complete lab reports are due at the beginning of the following lab meeting (a week
later!). Credit will not be given if report has not been initialed twice (pre-lab and data table) by
instructor.
Quizzes: Quizzes will make up 10% of the final grade, the quizzes will be performed weekly and
students will be informed throughout the lecture’s outlines according to the schedule on page
8.
Missed Quiz or Exam Policy: There are no make-up quizzes and exams. If you miss a quiz or an
exam, you will receive a zero and it affect your final grade.
Final Exam: The final exam is cumulative, worth 100 points. The final exam is scheduled on
December 9th, 2019 at 7:00- 9:30 pm room 251. The final exam grade can be used to replace a
lower-class exam score. If final exam is missed, no replacement for lower-class exams will be
considered.
Make-up work/Extra Credit: Under no circumstances, make-up work or extensions will be given
in this course. College students are expected to perform to the best of their abilities on the
assessments established in this syllabus. There are no make-up quizzes, exams, and labs!

lOMoARcPSD|15448008
However, I will drop one lowest lab grade and one lowest quiz grade at the end of the
semester.
Incomplete Grade: An Incomplete may be assigned if you have completed 2/3 of the course
requirements satisfactorily and can provide evidence of a valid reason (e.g. emergencies such as
serious illness or death of an immediate family member) for which you are not able to complete
the course work within the term. It is your responsibility to consult with your instructor to
determine if you qualify for an Incomplete. If you are awarded an I (Incomplete) and you
complete the required course work according to clear written criteria/schedule established by
the instructor, your grade will be changed from I to the appropriate grade (A – F). This grade
change will be processed by the end of term of the following full term (excluding summer in
which case the change of grade will be processed at the end of the subsequent fall term). An
Incomplete grade is subject to approval by the dean of science.
Attendance Policy: This is a very rigorous science course that will build a foundation of
knowledge for your future science courses. There is a large amount of material to cover and
every lecture will include major learning objectives. History shows that failure of this course is
usually preceded by attendance issues. Additionally, multiple research studies show attendance
in school is directly correlated to success in a course. The attendance will be checked at the
beginning of every class/lab meeting. A grade of W will be given to students that do not attend
class during the first week of class. Excessive absences on lectures and/or labs (> 3 class
meetings) can result in a failing grade from the course unless a withdrawal form is completed
and submitted by the withdrawal deadline published in the current catalog and/or credit course
schedule. If you miss 3 classes (lectures, labs or combination of lecture & lab), I reserve the
right to withdraw you from the course. If you are late to class twice (2 tardies), it will result in
an absence. If you don’t stay the entire lab period, you will be considered absent . Students
receiving financial aid are advised to discuss the impact of not attending classes on their
financial aid or veterans benefits.
Withdrawal Policy: Per Valencia Policy 4-07 (Academic Progress, Course Attendance and
Grades, and Withdrawals), a student who withdraws from class before the established deadline
for a particular term will receive a grade of “W.” A student is not permitted to withdraw after
the withdrawal deadline. A faculty member may withdraw a student up to the beginning of the
final exam period for violation of the class attendance policy. A student who is withdrawn by
faculty for violation of the class attendance policy will receive a grade of “W.” Any student who
withdraws or is withdrawn from a class during a third or subsequent attempt in the same course
will be assigned a grade of “F”. If you do not intend to complete the course, you must withdraw
yourself
prior
to
withdrawal
date.
