Wednesday: 9:30-11:30 AM (Science Learning Center, Seq 115)
Other hours available by appointment.
REQUIRED COURSE MATERIALS:
Organic Chemistry (2nd edition) by Smith is the required text. The Study Guide/Solutions
Manual is also available and recommended. The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual
(7th edition) by Zubrick is recommended for the laboratory.
The following items are also required:
 safety goggles or glasses
 A scientific calculator
 A permanent bound notebook
LECTURE:
The lecture will cover primarily materials from chapter 12 (Sections 12.7-12.12) through
chapter 25 of the text, as well as any other material presented during class or assigned by
instructor.
PowerPoint slides of lectures may be downloaded from VISTA.

ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance in lecture will NOT be used directly in determination of your grade for this
course. However, if your absence causes you to miss an exam, quiz, or in-class
assignment, you will receive a grade of zero for that exam, quiz, or in-class assignment.
There will be NO makeup quizzes given. Only one lowest quiz score will be dropped.
Makeup of missed in-class assignments will only be allowed with a valid written excuse.
There will be NO makeup exams. If an EMERGENCY situation forces you to miss an
exam, you must provide appropriate written documentation (i.e. a doctor’s slip, funeral
director’s note, etc.) to support your reason for missing the exam. It will be up to the
instructor on whether or not to accept the excuse. If the excuse is accepted, the final
exam grade will be used to replace the zero for the missed exam. Only one missed exam
score may be replaced due to an excused absence. All other missed exams will result in a
grade of zero.
The final exam grade will be used to replace the lowest regular exam grade and therefore
can be counted twice. If the final exam grade is the lowest exam grade then the final
exam grade will be counted once and no regular exam grade will be replaced. The final
exam grade will not be used to replace any exam grade of zero due to an unexcused
absence.
Any alleged errors in the grading of any exam, quiz, or assignment must be brought to the
attention of the instructor within one week of the return of that exam, quiz, or assignment.
Academic Honesty:
Acts which violate the academic integrity policy (e.g., cheating, plagiarism, etc.) of the
college will not be tolerated and will result in a grade of “F” for the course and referral to
the disciplinary committee. Calculators will be used in course work. If your calculator is
programmable, the instructor may reserve the right to inspect or erase any and all
programs prior to taking an exam or quiz.
GRADING:
Final letter grades will be based on four regular exams, a cumulative final exam, quizzes,
in-class assignments, and the laboratory. Quizzes may or may not be announced ahead of
time, so come to class prepared!
Your final grade will be determined according to the percentages:
Regular Exams – 40%
Final Exam – 20%
Quizzes and In-class assignments – 20%
Laboratory – 20%

I will NOT send grades by e-mail or phone. You must see me in person at my office to
discuss any grades.
LABORATORY:
The laboratory is an integral part of any chemistry course. You MUST observe ALL
Safety Rules at all times. No one will perform an experiment without goggles unless no
chemicals are involved. Sandals or any open-toed shoes are NOT permitted to be worn
in the laboratory unless no chemicals are involved. The instructor will emphasize any
special safety precautions in the pre-lab introduction.
Final laboratory grades are based on the Laboratory Experiment Reports (70%),
Laboratory Notebook (20%), and Courtesy Points (10%). You MUST attend an
experiment in order to get credit for its report. The lowest lab report score will be
dropped (and thus can cover one absence). Any additional absences will result in a grade
of zero for that experiment report. Unless otherwise announced, laboratory reports are
due at the beginning of the next laboratory session. A 10% penalty will be assessed on
all late laboratory reports, with an additional 10% deduction for each additional week the
report is late.
You are expected to bring your lab notebook to all laboratory sessions. Notebooks will
be checked at the end of every lab and will be collected for grading periodically
throughout the semester.
Courtesy points are yours to keep or lose. Everyone starts the semester with 25 points.
Ways in which you may lose some of these points include not following safety rules
(especially goggles), not returning any borrowed equipment, not cleaning up after the
experiment, not contributing to any group or partner work, being late for lab, or being
absent for lab.
CELL PHONE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY:
The use of cell phones or any other electronic communication devices during any lecture
or exam is prohibited. Cell phones must be turned off or switched to silent mode. If an
emergency situation exists, cell phone use may be permitted only with prior permission
from the instructor. The use of cell phones or other prohibited devices during class will
4
be reason for dismissal from the class that day. Any exam, quiz, or assignment missed
due to dismissal from class will result in a grade of zero.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COURSE: The last day to drop this class without
penalty is Monday, March 23, 2009. You will be assigned a grade of W. After this date,
withdrawal without penalty is permitted only in cases of extreme hardship as determined
by the Vice President for Academic Affairs; otherwise a grade of WF will be issued. The
proper form for withdrawing from all classes at the college after the official drop/add
period but before the published withdrawal date is the Schedule Adjustment Form.
Students who are assigned to the Academic Advising Center for advisement must meet
with an advisor or staff member at the Academic Advising Center (107 Liberal Arts
Building) to initiate the withdrawal process. All other students must meet with a staff
member or advisor at the Office of Academic Resources in the Pope Student Center to
initiate the withdrawal process. After meeting with the staff member or advisor, all
students will then finalize the withdrawal process in the Financial Aid Office. Students
who fail to complete the official drop/withdrawal procedure will receive the grade of F.
Withdrawal from class is a student responsibility. The grade of W counts as hours
attempted for the purposes of financial aid.
Disability Statement
Students with disabilities or special needs are encouraged to contact Disability Support
Services in Academic Resources. In order to make an appointment to obtain information
on the process for qualifying for accommodations, the student must contact the
Disability Support Specialist.

Workforce Development
If a student receiving aid administered by the DSC Workforce Development Department
drops this class or completely withdraws from the College, the Schedule Adjustment
Form must be taken to the Workforce Development Office located in Room 112 of the
Technical Education Building. The Office is open on the following schedule:
Monday/Tuesday/Thursday: 9:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Friday: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The office phone number is 272-2635.
