Course Description:
Chem 65 is an introduction to the theory and practise of the traditional gravimetric
and volumetric analysis. Tools and techniques of electronanalytical and
spectrophotometric analytical methods will be investigated. This course is highly
recommended for students who are majoriing in chemistry, biochemistry, and
biology majors including biotechnology and for those who want to gain practical
analytical laboratory techniques. This course also prepares students for the AA
degree in chemistry which facilitates transfer to CSU, UC or other four year
private and public colleges and universities nationwide.
2.
Required Materials:
a. Text: Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry, 8th ed.,
Skoog/West/Holler/Crouch, Brooks/Cole Publishing.
b. CD-ROM enclosed in the text (http://chemistry.brookscole.com/skoogfac/)
& Chemistry 65 Lab handouts (by Song).
c. Safety goggles to protect your eyes (available at the bookstore).
d. Electronic calculator with scientific functions (log, exp, etc.)
Recommended or Optional Materials:
a. Laboratory apron or coat (highly recommended).
3.
Basis of Evaluation:
a.
Midterm Exams:
Two (2) midterm exams will be given during the lecture. Exams will
cover all work up to the time of exam including the homework
assignments. For the exam schedule, consult the lecture schedule
attached. No make-up exams shall be given. Consult with your instructor
for special circumstances.
b.
Quiz:
For the quiz schedule, consult the lab schedule attached. Policy
concerning the make-up quiz is the same as the midterm exams.

c.
Final Exam:
A comprehensive final exam will be given. Students who miss the final
exam without notifying the instructor will not receive grade higher than C
for the course.
d.
Homework:
Homework problems will be periodically collected and graded. Homework
should appear neat and legible. It should be done on separate sheets (no
torn out spiral notebook, please), stapled properly before turning in. No
late homework is graded.
Grading:
The course grade earned will depend on the sum total of points earned in lecture
and lab. The following weighting factors will be used.
Hourly exams

The final course grade is based on the sum of individual student achievement in
relation to minimum performance standard. The following table gives the
approximate grade assignment* for the accumulated point total (lecture and lab).
(*your instructor reserves the right to vary somewhat from the table based on the
student performance in the class.)
Accumulated point total (%)

Attendance counts toward your grade. Coming to the class late often or attending part of
the lecture or lab will be counted as absence. I will disqualify any student who miss the
equivalent of one week’s lecture and lab without notifying me.
This instructor deems academic honesty very highly. Thus, anyone suspected of cheating
in the quiz or exam will not only lose credibility in my eyes but will also face the
potential failure in the course. Please conduct accordingly to dispel any suspicion in the
instructor’s mind. Best wishes for a successful summer in chemistry.
