email: johtaylo@fccj.edu
E-Mail assignments to both addresses below
Subjects of emails must describe briefly the assignments being submitted and
begin with the # 46:
i.e. 46: First Email or 46: your subject
Email Requirement:
Each student should send the instructor an email during the first week from both your FCCJ email account and/or an
outside email account for your primary contact, and the other as a backup contact. Be certain you put in subject box:
46: first email
Tell me about yourself. Why are you taking this course? When did you complete CHM 2045C, where, with which
instructor, and your grade. What is your highest math course completed? Where do you live? What are your telephone
numbers? What is your external email address which can serve as a backup to FCCJ assigned email.
Always begin the subject of each email with 46:
Subject-less emails will be deleted or subjects without the number code may be deleted. Attachments will only be
opened if the number code is in the subject line. This prevents viruses and spam.
ATTENDANCE:
Students are expected to attend class and will be responsible for all material presented. The student must sign the
attendance roster to earn credit for attendance. Each on campus class attended will be worth one point. The
student will fill out a data card similar to your instructor one the last page of this syllabus worth one point of the two
points for the first day’s attendance. One student will serve as attendance monitor and record the day’s attendance
for end of term point assignment. Student will sign lab role twice, once in the beginning of lab and then when they
leave noting time out.

Free Time First Lab Exercise:
Chemistry takes a lot of time to study. Each student should identify at least 10 hours or more
per week of free time that she/he will commit towards his/her study of chemistry. The
following are suggested strategies for scheduling your study times. Make an hour by hour
seven day matrix 8 columns (hour and each day of the week) by 24 lines (representing each
hour). See Master Student Web Site above. A blank matrix has been attached to this syllabus
for you to complete.
Starting with wake-up and end with sleeping:
1. Schedule fixed blocks of time first. These include work, class time, eating, and sleeping.
2. Include time for travel and errands
3. Schedule time for fun.
4. Set realistic goals.
5. Allow flexibility in your schedule.
6. Study at least two hours for every hour in class plus an extra two for computer assignments in the open lab and an extra two
with a cooperative group member for homework comparison and checking.
7. Avoid scheduling marathon study sessions.
8. Set clear starting and stopping times.
9. Plan for the Unplanned!
Study Groups/Phone Network/Lab Partner:
On the first day of class each student will complete a Data Card, Interview a peer, and introduce (if time permits) that
peer to the class. From these exercises and the learning styles inventory, study groups, a phone network, and lab partners need
to be established. Study areas, as well as the classroom, should be used for study groups plus lunch and learn sessions. Some
portions of the office times may meet in the library computer learning lab. Each week volunteers will be appreciated to assist
in the group operation of the class. The first personal assistant volunteer will prepare a matrix with each student’s free study
time so that study groups may begin to be formed the second week of school. The phone network will be established so that in
case of emergencies by the instructor each student will be responsible to call two other students in the network to alert the
student of the emergency so that information may be distributed prior to the next scheduled class. Emergencies will usually
also include a group email on the morning/afternoon of the class meeting.
Required Assessments Week One: TBA
E-Instruction (option) or Clickers:
During a scheduled class (75-90 minutes), after going through the lecture on the assigned chapters via many
modalities of teaching including Internet web sites, the instructor will utilize either the last 10 minutes or the first 10
minutes of class to go through the Power Point for the assigned chapter as a review.
However, multiple choice questions will be inserted into the online power points which will require all students to
answer via the instructor’s e-Instruction system (keypads). Each correct response will be worth one point, while
an incorrect response will count zero points. e-Instruction system will be worth no more than 50 points (out of
100 possible) for the term (5% total if used Fall Term 2008). For each exam when e-Instruction is not used, the
multiple choice section of the modules will be increased at five to ten questions per chapter.
Students are expected to get 50% correct on each day’s e-Instruction questions. During the term, the instructor may pretest a
section of the multiple choice for the course using the e-Instruction system where the responses will count 1 point each of
the 10 to 15 points assigned to multiple choice for that Module.
CHM 2046C Practice/Take Home/or Pre-Final Exam:
During the last week of school, (Dec 4-Dec 11) students will complete the on-line practice final exam during the last
scheduled lab section (Dec 9) (No other lab activities are scheduled during final exam week). The Prefinal must be completed
before attempting the Final. The course home page will have a link posted December 4 for the prefinal. The prefinal may be
one of the previous finals designated as the practice final (usually the latest term available) or a new mock ACS exam may be
developed for Fall Term 2008. The exam will be closed book and taken with your lab partner in the library computer center.
It will be interactive allowing you to change answers after initial scoring. If it is from ExamView, then you are allowed three
submissions. Each cooperative group will submit one practice final section for each module completed during the course.
Both students will receive the same grade for the practice final. The practice final will count as the first 5% completion
towards the final grade. A student may chose to work without a partner. One student will be requested to type the prefinal
into the HTML exam template to allow multiple attempts to achieve the answer, otherwise ExamView will be utilized which
does not have multiple tries available.
ACS General Chemistry Exam-Second-Term or Instructor Made Final Exam from Testbank
The final exam is not optional. It will be the 75 (best 50 will be scored) questions of the standard American
Chemical Society General Chemistry-Second Term Exam. The Final counts as two to three modular test
scores or 10% of the total grade. The multiple choice sections of the module exams are mini-tests of the final as
well as online multiple choice homework. If you score more than 50 correct answers, the instructor will award
bonus 1 point per correct answer (not adjusted to 2.0 factor for the first 50 correct questions). If the Final exam
is not ACS, then it will be 100 questions worth one point each. Questions selected from Kotz 6e testbank.

Final Exam Challenge:
If a student scores a higher % on the final exam (all 75 questions-adjusted ACS norm score) then the grade earned
through the total points assigned, then the Final Exam score will constitute the final grade average for the lecture. The
instructor will not drop the lowest exam score during the course, but may allow post-testing the last two weeks to raise a poor
score earned earlier in the course. A special post test day is Saturday December 6 at 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. in D-207. However,
the student scoring the highest final exam grade as long as its better than 70%, will receive a final grade of an “A”

Daily Pretest Quizzes (optional):
Pretest quizzes may be administered before (12:30-1:00), sometimes during, and/or after (4:00-4:30) every class
which is not a scheduled exam day. These pretest quizzes may not be made up outside of class time, unless
directed by the instructor to complete the pretest in the test center during an assigned period of time.
Scored pretest quizzes are NOT recorded in the instructor’s grade book or on Blackboard, but must be
attached to the Modular Exam Grading Outline the day of the exam to receive the pretest grade. This pretest
packet is submitted as a separate packet. Students must write the scores on both the cover sheet of the pretest
packet and on the front page of each exam.
The student will skip the section of the modular exam that is pre-tested. The Pretest scores sometimes may be
recorded on the attendance sheet, but only for your instructor’s sense of current levels of class achievement. If
you loose the graded pretests, you will have to do the section over on the exam.
The instructor only records Module Exam totals and the Final Exam in his grade book and on Blackboard. Multiple
choice and vocabulary sections of modules are usually only tested on exam day and are usually never pre-tested
or post-tested.
Do Not Staple the Modular Exams together as they are graded separately, listed on Blackboard separately, and
returned separately after the exam day. Please staple carefully as directed. Mixing the modular papers on Exam
day may result in a lower grade.
1. Pretests are exams. They are not open book. They are
not open notes. They are not collaboration with your
neighbor.
2. The pretests may NOT be used during the exam!
3. You must do the pretests in class. You may NOT take the
pretests home.
Samples of each section (pretest) of each exam may be found on the grading outline on
the web site. On the sample tests are suggestions for paper and pencil homework in the
textbook. The grading outline may be found at:
Kotz 6th Edition: http://www.fccj.us/chm2046/46grdF08.htm
McMurray 5th edition: http://www.fccj.us/chm2046/46grdF08McM.htm
Pre-testing is a privilege not a right!
Our classroom D-211 may not have a scheduled class in the room before our class
on Tuesday and Thursday. Pretesting will begin at 12:30 to 1:00 p.m. each class day and must
be completed before class begins at 1:00. Students who are late to class (after 1:00), will not
be allowed to pretest until after class. Students should plan to stay late if they can not arrive
early. Many times the pretest will not be administered till the last 5 minutes of class so that
student may complete the item after class has concluded. Pretest will be graded for all
students who stay after 4:00 p.m. Pretesting may also be done 4:00-4:30 p.m.
Post-Testing:
The instructor may post test sections of the modular exams that a majority of the students on designated days.
Multiple choice and vocabulary sections may not be post-tested. The designated last day for post testing is
Saturday December 6 at a time to be announced.(Either 10:30-3:30 or 1:00-5:30 depending if dr. Darby has her
Winter Festival on that day. The post test is a free attempt. Scoring lower on the post test than on the modular
exam section will not penalize the student. The post test will be ignored and the exam section score will count.
Improving on the post test will replace that section’s score on the modular exam and the improvement will raise
the score of the modular test. A student scores 5 out of 10, post test and scores 10 out of 10, the student’s grade
is improved by the net five points. . The student will resubmit his/her exam with the graded post test stapled on top
for an adjustment in the modular exam score. If the student does not have her/his exam, then post testing
will NOT be possible. Post testing is allowed only on items that the instructor has a third or fouth different
post test available. If post tests are not available, then they may not be post tested.
MAKE-UP POLICY:
Make-up exams are usually not given. In the event of an unavoidable absence on exam day (jury duty,
hospitalization, incarceration, and death in the immediate family), you will be allowed make-up tests only upon the
instructor’s approval.. You must contact the instructor, no later than, the week of the exam in order to discuss what
arrangements might be made. This may be done with a quick email. A message must be left on the instructor's email (johtaylo@fccj.edu ) or his office phone 766-6763 if the instructor cannot be reached. If a makeup is allowed, it
must be completed prior to return of the exam papers completed by the students attending the scheduled exam.
Missed exams will otherwise count as 0 points. Papers are returned usually after one or two weekends after the
exam.
Students who take the test on the assigned day are guaranteed to receive their graded exam on or before the next exam day,
otherwise the student will be assigned a 100% grade for the un-graded paper. Students not taking the exam on the assigned
exam day may not receive their grade until days or weeks after the class papers are returned.

Instructor’s Right to Change or Modify Grading Procedures:
This instructor reserves the right to make changes in this syllabus whenever he feels it is appropriate to do so.
The instructor reserves the right to modify or change the grading progress as the course proceeds. Any additional
course assignments will substitute for deleted items. Some may also be modified if not deleted. The instructor will not
add major examinations as a modification and maintain the above general category point distributions. Tests will
constitute ~60-65% of the grade excluding the final’s 15%, 15% for the laboratory component, 0-5% of the grade for
Interactive Classroom Presentation System, and 5% for attendance.
Students absent on exam days will do a makeup exam outside of class time when they return on the next Tuesday or
Thursday following the absence or by special arrangements in the Assessment Center. This exam must be completed before
the next scheduled exam or the day the instructor returns the exam missed. The instructor guarantees the student two days to
make up the exam, but thereafter it depends on the day the tests are returned.
Student who takes the test on the assigned test day are guaranteed to receive their graded exam on or before the next
exam day after completion of the new exam, otherwise the student will be assigned a 100% grade for the un-graded paper.
Lab Reports/Write-ups, and/or Lab Notebook are due prior to the next scheduled lab. Lab reports submitted after
that date may be subject to a one to two point (10-20%) penalty depending on whether the instructor has graded that weeks
lab. Lab Data submitted without calculation will receive a minimum of 5 points (50%). Labs not submitted receive a grade of
zero. Students absent from lab receive a zero. Students attending and submitting all lab reports receive up to 10 extra points as
a student is allowed only one absence from lab.
Other Pertinent Information (Supplemental Notes):
Students with Disabilities: Qualified students with documented disabilities are eligible for physical and
academic accommodations under the American Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973. Students requesting accommodations should contact Student Development Services at
264-7220 (voice) or 264-3371 (TTY) and this professor during the first week of class.
Withdrawal Policy:
Students will be allowed to withdraw from this class any time during the semester through Monday,
November 3 for an A-16 schedule and will receive a grade of “W”. Students failing to attend
class for the first two consecutive weeks are subject to withdrawal by the instructor according to FCCJ
policy. These ‘no shows’ must be reported to Admissions and Records by the end of two weeks
Tuesday September 9
Academic Misconduct:
Academic misconduct or dishonesty such as cheating and plagiarism is not permitted. Suspected cases may be
reported to the Dean of Liberal Arts and may result in failure of an assignment, failure for the course or exclusion
from the class. Also, the instructor reserves the right to reassign work to students if the instructor senses the work submitted
is not the work of the student. (No questions asked-The instructor may tell the student to resubmit the work to earn the daily
pretest grade or examination grade or may be assigned a zero if second request is made).
Classroom Etiquette:
Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults in the classroom showing respect to their
classmates. Only persons registered for this class are permitted in the laboratory. As a courtesy to the
instructor and your fellow classmates, cellular telephones and pagers should be cut off before
entering the classroom or laboratory. Likewise, the instructor sometimes forgets to shut his down at
the beginning of class, so hopefully someone sitting close to the front may remind the instructor with a
hand gesture for him to check his phone,
Children in the Classroom Policy: It is the goal of FCCJ to provide a safe and effective learning
environment for all students. Any action, which interferes with this goal, will not be permitted.
Children must not be left unattended at any time on campus. If an emergency arises which requires a
student to bring an underage child (defined as any child under the age of sixteen who is not a FCCJ
student enrolled in a credit class) to campus, the child must be under the direct supervision of an adult
at all times. Parents and guardians of children considered disruptive or unsupervised will be asked to
remove the children from the campus immediately.
Bringing children to the classroom is not permissible under most circumstances. However, if an emergency arises
which necessitates bringing a child to class, the student must receive the prior consent of the faculty member involved.
Children who are ill may not be brought to class regardless of the circumstances. Due to the nature of the equipment,
the subject matter involved, and the level of supervision necessary, underage children will not be allowed in college
laboratories or in the Learning Center at any time and/or under any circumstances.
Children enrolled in non-credit classes must be under the direct supervision of an adult at all times. Likewise, children
attending campus events must be supervised at all times. Any child under the age of 16 must be under the direct
supervision of his/her parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult when in the college library unless the child is
part of a call AND the supervising teacher or paraprofessional is present
Studying:
In order to do well in this course, it is essential to study and work problems. The
following is a list of study suggestions
1) Read the text chapters before the material is covered in class.
2) Take good notes and review them daily.
3)
4)
5)
6)
Work all assigned homework problems. Do not get behind!!!!!!
Work the practice exams that will be made available without looking at the answer key.
Work problems in ACS study guide.
Use the interactive CD-Rom for studying/or the CD-Rom Printouts.
‘Muddy Water’ Issues:
Each day, students may use 3x5 file cards (as provided by the instructor the first week) to list the day’s muddiest water
issue or send the instructor an email immediately after class. What was confusing? What don’t you understand? What
problems at the end of the chapter overwhelm you? As you leave the classroom, you will submit a card with your name and
the issue or issues. If you are absolutely on target, no problem then no card submitted a card indicates to the instructor you
are on course on time and understand the learning concepts. At the end of each on-line group/individual quiz/homework may
be a place to journal your discovery statements, the muddy water issues, and check list of vocabulary words that you do not
understand.
