ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the
work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within
the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms
of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include,
but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of
academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute
assignment or test;
Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the
student from the class;
Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.
Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by
submitting such request to the Dean of Student Services.
Institutional Statement: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the
TCC Catalog, the TCC Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and semester information listed in the
class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu
LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES AND COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION
A complete set of computer programs for this General Chemistry text is available for use in the Math Lab,
SE 8150. A variety of CD-Rom tutorials are available for purchase in the bookstore to aid in studying.
The tutorials are extremely helpful in preparing for class and exams.
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.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Chemistry is divided between theoretical and practical knowledge. This course will deal with the
fundamental laws and theories that interrelate chemical and physical properties of organic compounds.
The terminology and vocabulary used by the chemist will be developed and applied.
The technique for solving quantitative problems relating to chemistry will be presented. Since the
problems in chemistry are many and varied, an objective of this class is to develop the ability to study
independently. The student will learn reactions and mechanisms necessary for the mastery of organic
chemistry and will learn to synthesize, separate, purify and identify organic compounds.
During the laboratory sessions the student will have the opportunity to perform simple laboratory
procedures and practice safe handling of laboratory chemicals and equipment. During the first laboratory
session a list of safety rules will be presented and discussed. Strict precautions and guidelines must be
followed in the lab.
PROFESSIONALISM:
It is assumed that students enrolling in a course at this level are headed toward a professional career.
Because prospective future employers, clients, patients, and admissions committees will make decisions
of your future association with them based on, among other things, your reputation of projecting a
professional image, it is important to be projecting that image now. A professional image includes such
character traits as attendance, punctuality, thoroughness, attentiveness, attitude toward authority,
honesty, and appearance (dress and grooming).
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is mandatory. Class participation and attendance will be included in the grading procedure.
Absences not only deprive you of opportunity to gain understanding of the subject necessary to perform
well in this class, but excessive absences can also reduce your participation portion of the grade.
Absences of more than 10% of the lectures and/or 2 laboratory sessions is considered excessive. If you
anticipate absences beyond these amounts, you may want to consider withdrawing from this course at
this time.
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 in
the Class Schedule.
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
All policies and procedures will be followed by the enrolled student.
No phones or pagers allowed in the lecture.
In the programmable calculators, no equations may be stored in its memory during testing.
PLAGIARISM POLICY
Plagiarism is claiming, indicating, or implying that the ideas, sentences, or words of another writer are
your own; it includes having another writer 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 your own. This includes copying another’s homework. The student should review
the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook.
TEACHING METHODS
All lecture and laboratory material must be read prior to class presentation or laboratory period.
Problems from the textbook should be worked. Specific problems may be assigned to be handed
in for grading.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUES
A.
Tests - Four (4) 115 points each. The examinations will cover the lecture material and all the
material in the assigned chapters in the textbook. The exact formats will be explained in class.
1. No make-up tests will be given, unless in case of extreme emergency and at the discretion of the
instructor (my phone number and e-mail address in at the first of this syllabus). If you miss a
scheduled exam for a legitimate reason, it is your responsibility to contact me within one school
day to arrange to take the exam. In the event of a make-up exam, the exam will be available to
be taken during normal operating hours in the Math Lab Testing Center and should be taken
within 1 day of the student’s return to class.
2. The final exam is mandatory and CANNOT be made up.
B.
Laboratory
1. Laboratory work will be completed during the assigned laboratory period. It is very highly
recommended that all laboratory notes and data be recorded in ink, in a notebook, not on

scraps of paper. The lab procedure should be studied prior to coming to lab. A typed lab
report in standard laboratory format will be handed in for grading within 7 calendar days of
completion of a lab. Included in the grade will be an evaluation of laboratory practices, safety
habits, overall effort and lab write-up. The last lab reports are due before final exam.
Late lab reports will NOT be accepted.
Laboratory experiments cannot be made up. An absence during one of the lab periods will result
in the forfeit of all points associated with that laboratory exercise.
Students are advised to exercise extreme caution in the laboratory and to follow all guidelines
listed on the "Safe Lab Practices" handout.
Students MUST purchase and wear goggles and a lab apron during labs. Students NOT
wearing the above will NOT be allowed to participate in the laboratory and will forfeit all
points associated with that laboratory exercise.
C.
Homework
1. Specific homework problems from the text will be assigned throughout the course. These
problems will aid the student in obtaining a thorough understanding of the material.
D.
Late Work
1. Late homework and labs will be accepted up to one week after the scheduled turn-in date at a
10% reduction in grade, up to two weeks with a 25% reduction in grade, but not accepted after
the final exam. Late homework due to excused absence on the date due may be turned in on the
next class day attended without penalty. The instructor may waive penalties for valid extenuating
circumstances at his sole discretion. No work will be accepted after the last day of classes.
