CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Description of proposal idea and rationale.
(Proposer should present description of proposal idea on this page along with a
rationale for the proposal.)
The enrollment of SCCC and in particular at the Grant campus science courses, has grown
considerably in recent semesters. Liberal Arts & Sciences, Science Emphasis, Biology Option,
is one of the most popular curriculums. Students in this option at the Grant campus must travel
to Selden to take Organic Chemistry. This adoption has been discussed with Prof. Breeden,
Academic Chair of Physical Sciences and Jing Yi Chin, Assistant Chair, Chemistry, both of the
Ammerman Campus. The lecture and recitation would be at the Grant campus and the
laboratory portion of the course at the Ammerman campus. This arrangement would be
necessary until funds could be acquired to fit Grant chemistry labs for Organic Chemistry.
Organic chemistry is a two-semester sequence. This sequence presents theory, nomenclature,
preparation, fundamental reactions and reaction mechanisms of aliphatic and aromatic organic
compounds. It includes chemical and instrumental methods of organic analysis.
Each semester requires 3 hours of lecture, 1 hour of recitation and 4 hours of laboratory per
week. The prerequisite for CHE 250 is CHE 134, presently offered on the Grant campus.
A schedule has been tentatively set with the collaboration of Jing Yi Chin and Janet Haff that
provides a Spring/Organic Chemistry I and Fall/Organic Chemistry II. This would be offsemester from the Ammerman campus schedule which presently only offers Organic Chemistry I
in the Fall semester and Organic Chemistry II in the Spring. Each Fall semester there are 5
sections of CHE 134, College Chemistry II offered college-wide. This is well over one hundred
students that would be prepared for Organic Chemistry in the Spring semester. Offering one or
two sections (20 students per section) of Organic Chemistry I in the Spring semester would be a
great service to our students who have been requesting this for many semesters.

GENERAL RATIONALE
The enrollment of SCCC and in particular at the Grant campus science
courses, has grown considerably in recent semesters. Liberal Arts & Sciences, Science
Emphasis, Biology Option, is one of the most popular curriculums. Grant students must
travel to the Ammerman campus two or three days a week to take this course. This is often
a hardship for them. This course is a requirement of this program. Every semester, dozens
of students come to the DNS chair’s office to ask about bringing organic chemistry to the
Grant campus. Several times the chair has been presented with a petition with 15-20
signatures.
II.
RELATIONSHIP TO STUDENTS
A.
Proposed cycle for offering (e.g., fall, spring, and summer)
CHE 250 spring, CHE 251 fall
This “off-semester” sequence is to accommodate those students in CHE 134 in the fall
(presently over 110 students college-wide). It also will not compete with the Ammerman
campus schedule where CHE 250 is offered in the fall only
B.
Estimate of student enrollment
Class size will be 18 students. This is limited by the size of the organic chemistry lab on the
Ammerman campus.
III.
COSTS
A.
List costs and space requirements
No additional costs beyond normal cost of lab as conducted on the Ammerman campus.
Lecture rooms have been accounted for on the Grant campus and the Physical Sciences
department of Ammerman has provided the available time frame for the lab.
B.
Number of faculty available to teach course
Three; 2 on the Grant campus, one on the Ammerman campus.

COLLEGE COURSE SYLLABUS FORM
To meet the ideals of Suffolk County Community College, new courses should, if appropriate, consider
issues arising from elements of cultural diversity in areas of textbook choice, selection of library and
audio-visual materials, and teaching methodology. (Please note that a course syllabus is not the same
as a course outline. A course syllabus outlines the general requirements for a course. A course
outline is the specific document created by the individual faculty member to distribute to a specific
course section. Please see the Faculty Handbook for further details as to what to include in a course
outline. A SAMPLE course outline should be attached below.)

Students will be expected to read the assigned chapters in the textbook prior to class, so as to be
able to actively participate in class discussions.
Students will be expected to attend every class session for which they are registered. Students
will be responsible for all that transpires in class, even if they are not in attendance. Excessive
absence or lateness may lead to failure in the course. Absences, excused or not, cannot be madeup.
March 22, 2012 is the last day to withdraw from the course with a guaranteed “W”. Beyond that,
withdrawals may be arranged with the permission of the instructor. A student will not
automatically receive a “W” by not attending class.
Students will be expected to complete all written and online homework assignments. Answers
copied by or from other students will not be accepted.
The recitation period will be used to clarify lecture material, practice solving problems, discuss
homework assignments, and review for exams.
There will be three (3) unit exams, as well as a comprehensive final exam. Exams will be graded
on a scale of 100 points. No grades will be dropped. If a student misses an exam because of
illness or unavoidable catastrophe, he/she must contact the instructor before the next class. A
make-up exam will be given only if written proof (such as a doctor’s note) of the unavoidable
catastrophe is provided.
Except for approved scientific calculators, no electronic devices may be used during exams. It is
unacceptable to use a phone as a calculator in this course.
Audiotaping and videotaping of lectures is forbidden.

Students will be expected to read the assigned experiments prior to the laboratory period, so as to
be able to perform the experiment successfully and efficiently. Unless otherwise specified, no
group work will be allowed.
Each experiment will begin with a short discussion of the relevant laboratory techniques,
chemical principles, and safety precautions. Students who arrive more than 10 minutes late will
not be allowed to work in the laboratory and will receive a grade of zero for the experiment. Due
to space limitations, laboratory absences cannot be made-up.
Students must wear approved splash-resistant, chemical safety goggles during the laboratory
period. No bare feet, open-toed shoes, sandals, or exposed midriffs are allowed in the laboratory.
Students will be expected to keep a current laboratory notebook according to the prescribed
guidelines.
A copy of the laboratory write-up will be collected one week after the experiment is finished.
Complete reports will include the date, the title of the experiment, all balanced chemical
equations, a table of relevant reagent/product data, experimental procedures/observations,
conclusions, and answers to all assigned questions.
Laboratory write-ups will be graded on a scale of 25 points. Late submissions will be penalized
five points per week. Data, results, and answers copied by or from other students will not be
accepted.
