ponsibilitiesstatement.htm Course Policies and Practices
This is some interesting information about the ​
on ​
campus course policies for this course for you to digest: ● Attendance: the final grade will be lowered one letter grade if the student misses more than five (5) lectures (excused or unexcused) during the semester. ● Quizzes: no make up quizzes. ● Exams: no makeup exams unless you have written permission from the professor 24 hours prior to the exam. ● No cell phones, digital cameras, or electronic devices during lecture, quizzes, or exams. Use of electronic device (excluding calculator) during lecture will result in a 25 pt. loss to total semester points for each occurrence. ● NO LAPTOP computers during class time. ● You are expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner. Arrive to class on­time and do not pack up your items early to leave the class. No chatting with classmates during the lecture, being disruptive, etc. ● During exams and quizzes: no hats, no hoodies, no additional papers, no backpacks or book bags, both hands on top of the desk at all times. Students must spread out in seating as much as the classroom allows. ● No electronic devices­phones – place in book bag on silent. Use of any electronic device during a quiz or exam will result in a grade of “0” for the exam or quiz. ● No calculator covers ● No sharing of calculators. ● No additional papers on your writing surface. ● No backpacks or book bags located by the student. These will be placed at the front of the classroom during exams. ● Both hands on top of the desktop/writing surface. Use this information to prepare yourself for next year on the college campus of your choice. These policies are very common. All laboratory reports are submitted using a common format, which is supplied, through the lab manual and web sources. Page 13​
of 17 University of Findlay College Chemistry Mrs. Elmlinger 2015­2016 Special Services Additional Information Proper grammar, punctuation and sentence structure are expected and corrected. Information provided in graphs, data tables, and spreadsheets is graded. Laboratory reports are written to the level expected of an introductory chemistry student, who has the same knowledge base as the report author. Descriptions of chemical events and calculations are graded for this component. All laboratory reports require students to convey accurate information that is appropriate to the subject of the lab. The principal source of the lab report grade comes from this component. Homework: 1. Problems per chapter will be assigned using the online WebAssign tutorial program. 2.

Before you perform any experiments in the laboratory you must view the safety video "Starting with Safety" and read and sign the safety agreement. ATTENDANCE: Attendance in the laboratory is ​
required​
​
in order to perform the experimental work. ● What if I’m late?​
​
Don’t be!​
I consider lateness a safety concern. Information is missed. You will loose points. Nothing personal. Be here on time. ● What do I do if I’m really sick?​
Drag yourself here if at all possible. But if you can’t make it, contact me ​
before​
the lab. There are several ways to do this. 1. Call me at my office. 2. Email me. This also has a time stamp. If you miss a lab due to a medical reason, you may make up the missed laboratory work * with a documented medical excuse, either from the health center or from you personal physician. Note that medical forms from the health center indicating that you merely called are not considered by me to be viable documentation. *You may make up missed lab work if: 1. You have contacted me prior to the absence so that I can arrange a time and space for you in either one of my labs or with one of the other lab instructors. 2. The equipment and reagents required to perform the experiment are available. If the equipment/reagents for the missed lab are no longer available, and you contacted me prior to the lab with what I perceive as a legitimate reason for being absent, I have the option of excusing you from the lab. ● What if I am required to go on a field trip for another course?​
If you ​
know in advance​
that you will miss a lab due to ​
a legitimate university function​
(group trip or athletic event), you will be required to make arrangements to perform the lab before the absence (if possible). Once again, a documented excuse is required. The bottom line: Come see me. Bring the memo regarding the filed trip. I will help you with this. ● What if I have a personal emergency?​
Contact me. We’ll talk and I’ll see what I can do. ● After completing the material required for Chemistry 111 Lecture and Lab we will spend the balance of the year studying RedOx & Organic Chemistry (Chapters 18,20…) as time permits. Page 16​

These two exams will take place at the end of chapters 4 & 7. Each exam counts as 15% of the UF grade. Multi­chapter Exams #1(chap. 1­4) &2 (chap 5­7) will be averaged for the MHS semester exam. ​
These exams CANNOT be exempted. Will count as the Semester I exam grade on the student grade card and appear on the Monroeville transcript. Students will do a lab during the extended time allocated for their exam period. This lab will be calculated as a lab grade in the course. Students MUST be present and cannot "exempt". This will occur at the end of Chapter 10 which will be in late March or early April. ​
This exam CANNOT be exempted​
. The UF final exam will count as a double test grade in the nine weeks grade for MHS​
(or if course takes until end of year,the lecture and lab finals will be averaged and will count as final exam) . Semester Exam Days in December/January Students will do a lab during the extended time allocated for their exam period. This lab will be calculated as a lab grade in the course. Students MUST be present and cannot "exempt". End of UF Course Exam This will occur at the end of the required UF chapters which will hopefully be in April. ​
This exam CANNOT be exempted. End of course lecture final exam will count as 15 % of UF grade. End of course lab final exam will count as 10% of UF grade. End of course survey must be completed. Time between end of Material covered after the end of the UF course and end of UF required chapters (1­16) and school year. required UF labs will not count toward UF grade. Semester Exam in None May/June Oxidation­ Reduction and Organic Chemistry will be covered. This material will count toward the MHS grade but not the UF grade. The exam given during the extended exam period in May/June will cover Oxidation­Reduction and Organic Chemistry only. We will cover as much of this as time allows. This grade will appear in the semester exam column on the MHS grade card and transcript ​
(or if course takes until end of year,the lecture and lab finals will be averaged and will count as final exam) . Page 17​
