Chemistry 100
Fall 2014
Lecture 401 ONLY
Mrs. Freschl
Course Objective: Chemistry 100 is a preparatory course. Its chief objective is to prepare students
for taking Chemistry 101, 102 or 105.
Prerequisite: Sufficient mathematics to be able to handle the course’s problem solving. A score of
30 on the UWM Math Placement Test or a grade of C or better in Math 105 or a higher Math course is
required.
Required Materials:
Textbook: Intro to Chemistry 3rd edition by Bauer, Birk and Marks (around $182)
Calculator: Scientific calculator with log and exponential functions.
No programmable calculators will be allowed on quizzes or exams!
My own prerequisite: A good attitude would be very helpful for learning chemistry
this semester, for making this course fun (learning can
grade.
be fun) and for ending up with a good
Effort: This course is time consuming. Plan to put at least 5 hours/week into the course (not
counting class time) for rewriting your lecture notes, reading the textbook, studying etc. See attached
hand-out called “How to Succeed in Chemistry 100”.
Lecture attendance: Attendance in lecture is strongly recommended. You will find you will
learn a lot in lecture, providing you attend, pay attention and stay awake!! It is definitely
to your benefit to come to lecture. And turn OFF your cell phones.
Grading:
Quizzes = 10%
Problem sets done in discussion class = 10%
Three hour exams = 15%, 15% & 20%
Final exam = 30%
OR Three hour exams 5%, 20%, 20%
Final exam = 35%
(lowest grade is 5% It can be any of the 3 hour exams)
Quizzes: There will be a quiz every week. There are NO make-up quizzes. Two quizzes will be
dropped from the average. Do not use them up in the beginning of the semester, since you might need
them for illnesses at the end. If you take all the quizzes, your two lowest scores will be dropped. It is
to your advantage to attempt to take ALL the quizzes. The purpose of quizzes is to help you learn,
make sure you keep up with the material and give you practice. They are NOT meant to
you!!
torture
Hourly Exams: Monday Sept 29, Oct 27, Nov 24. There is a 4th exam on Dec 8, which is a minifinal exam (but all scantron). The exams start promptly at 5:30 P.M. These are one hour exams, but I
will allow people to remain an extra 15 minutes if you so desire. If you have a job, arrange right now
to have time off during those evenings.
There are NO make-up exams. If you miss an exam, you must bring in written notification as to why
you were unable to attend. The 4th exam will replace the one you missed. This is not a desirable
option for you since the 4th exam is all scantron and will cover the entire semester’s work.
FINAL EXAM is cumulative!!
Final exam is Wednesday Dec 17th 10:00AM to noon Room to be assigned
My Office hours: Room 145 (229-3759) MWF 10:00 to 11:00, 12:00 to 2:00.
My E-mail is freschl@uwm.edu
Dropping the course: Last day to drop is Friday Oct 24.
Discussion class: Attendance in discussion is required. This is when you will get back your lecture
quizzes and exams, when the TA will go over the answers to the quizzes, exams, and when you can
ask questions concerning lecture and textbook material, and the questions at the end of the chapter.
Periodically there will be a worksheet given to you to work out while in discussion class. It is not a
quiz. You may use your textbook and your notes. It is to give you more practice with difficult
concepts. The worksheets will count for 10% of your final grade.
Discussion can be a very useful time to help you learn Chemistry. Don't waste it.
Web Page: I will post the current quizzes with answers and the current exams with answers on D2L
“Desire2Learn. To get to D2L, go to UWM home page (www.uwm.edu). Click on the dropdown box
“Quicklinks”, select D2L and click on the “go” arrow. Your username is your ePanther username and
the password is your ePanther password.
Fun: I hope to have a good time teaching this course, and I hope you have a
chemistry.
good time learning
