COURSE DESCRIPTION: CHEM 141 is the first half of a two-semester course in General Chemistry. It lays the foundations that are
needed in the second half of General Chemistry (CHEM 142). CHEM 141 presents the basic chemical concepts and principles. It
examines the hypotheses and evidence that led to these concepts and principles, and it applies them to diverse topics. Students’
problem solving skills are developed by applying chemical principles to numerical and logical problems and by clarifying, analyzing and
comparing chemical hypotheses, theories, and laws. The course involves significant reading and reference to what is explicitly stated
and reasoning to determine the deeper implicit meaning.
The important topics that will be covered are the measurement of length, mass, volume, density, temperature and conversion
of units; classification of matter into elements, compounds, and mixtures; concepts of atomic theory, naming and representing ions,
molecules and compounds; qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemical reactions (moles, stoichiometry, percent yield etc.); atomic
structure, periodicity, chemical bonding, and enthalpy changes of chemical reactions.
COURSE PREREQUISITES: The following are the prerequisites for this course:
1. The student must have placed into the course by the Placement Test or permission of instructor or must have taken either Math
111 or higher and earned a passing grade or better.
2. The student must have officially registered with a valid fee statement.
3. The student must be registered in a CHML 141 Lab section or have previously passed the lab section.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: The objectives of CHEM 141 are to develop students’ understanding of fundamental chemical concepts and
principles, to develop their awareness of the significant role chemistry plays in modern society, and to stimulate curiosity about science.

ENHANCING STUDENT PERFORMANCE:
I. Getting the Most out of the Course
1. Class attendance is absolutely necessary. You are expected to be in class on time for every scheduled session.
2. Use the textbook:
a. Study the chapter before it is discussed so you can be familiar with concepts.
b. Reread each section after it is discussed. Ask questions on aspects you don't understand at the next class session.
3. Do the assigned questions and problems - Begin the first day the Chapter is scheduled.
4. Take notes in class, study your notes and recognize them before the next class.
5. Participate in class discussions.
6. Review material missed on quizzes and tests until you can do all work correctly.
7. Ask questions of your instructor during his/her conference hours.
8. Attend the scheduled HELP SESSIONS and get involved in a STUDY GROUP.
9. Consult Chemistry Department tutors (ask about schedule in 414 JAPSB). Also, the Academic Skills Center (Division of
Undergraduate Studies) may have chemistry tutors.




Students are required to attend a weekly study session.
Student can choose one out of 10 periods that will be offered during the week:
1. 1-5 PM Mon and Wed (hour each)
2. 1-3 PM Fri (hour each)
These groups must meet on a weekly basis to help each other with homework and to gain a better understanding of the
material to help pass the class.
Students will earn points at these study sessions, which will be part of their final course grade.
Students who have special situations that have a valid reason will not have to attend. These students will be a case by case
study as determined by the instructor and the department chair.
The following criteria will be used:
1.

3.
Achievement: the combined average of exam scores of each study group.
Most progress: the progress based on exam scores and homework.
Involvement: homework assignments being done on time and other evidence.

Attendance Policy: Students at Jackson State University must fully commit themselves to their program of study. One hundred
percent (100%) punctual class attendance is expected of all students in all scheduled classes and activities. When, for any reason,
students are absent from class, it is their responsibility to present to the instructor as soon as possible (and not later than five days from
date of absence) an official excuse for their absence. Any absence for which a student does not provide written official excuse is
counted as an unexcused absence. Unexcused absences (e.g. 3 times for a three semester hour course) will be reported to the Dean
of University College for freshman and sophomores and to the School Deans and the Department Chairs for juniors and seniors.
Students must understand that “even with an official excuse of absence, students are responsible for the work required during
their absence”.
Make-up Policy: Ordinarily, missed exams and quizzes will not be made up. A maximum of one missed exam will be allowed to be
made-up if (and only if) a valid University excuse is presented in a timely manner and if the instructor accepts the excuse*. In all other
cases, a score of zero will be recorded for a missed exam. Students who know in advance that they will miss an exam because of an
approved University activity are expected to give the instructor documentation of that activity at least 48 hours prior to the absence.
Under no circumstances will the Final Examination be made up. If a student misses the Final Examination, a score of zero will be
recorded for that exam.
* Note: Before the instructor decides whether or not to accept an excuse, he/she may ask for additional documentation about the
absence.
Calculator Policy: Calculators will be needed for many of the numerical problems on exams and quizzes in this course. As a result,
calculators are permitted in quizzes and exams. However, there are restrictions on the types of calculators that are permitted. The
general guidelines are the same as for tests such as the ACT or SAT, i.e. “basic” scientific calculators are permitted. Restrictions:
calculators with letter keyboards are not permitted; programming of calculators is not permitted; storage of equations or other
information in a calculator prior to an exam or a quiz is not permitted. The instructor may examine students’ calculators. The instructor
may supply an alternative calculator for an exam or a quiz. Cell phone calculators are not permitted. The instructor reserves the right to
modify the calculator policy if necessary.
2
Cell Phone Policy: The instructor requests that students turn cell phones (and other electronic gadgets) off during class. Cell phones
(and other electronic gadgets) must be turned off and invisible during exams and quizzes. Cell phones may not be used as calculators
or time pieces during exams and quizzes.

LABORATORY NOTEBOOKS: (Maintain within Lab Text) Each student must complete a pre-lab report before an experiment. A prelab report includes title, reaction, mechanism, theory; table of compounds; outline of procedure, cautions, expected results, and
answers to any assigned problems. It has to be prepared with a duplicated copy; the detachable copy is submitted. The post-lab report
should be written after the experiment to complete the laboratory report. It includes title, data and observations, theoretical yield and %
yield, comparison of bp (mp) with literature, comments and suggested improvements and it will be submitted with the prelab to the
instructor by the assigned date with the product for the evaluation. All written work connected with the lab is to be recorded in the
notebook only. This includes the pre-lab with answers to assigned questions and all experimental observations. Observations are not to
be recorded on loose sheets of paper and then transferred to the notebook later. Computer - generated lab reports will not be
accepted.

Additional Policies/Information for Examinations and Other Assignments:
All quizzes and exams (tests) are closed-book and closed-note events.
The instructor may assign seats during examinations and quizzes.
The instructor will impose time limits for examinations and quizzes. Students who arrive late will not be given extra time.
If necessary, the instructor will develop and implement specific rules for examinations (and other assignments). Questions about rules
for examinations or other assignments should be asked well in advance.
No calculator sharing is allowed during examinations or quizzes.
Questions about how an item was graded must be asked less than one week after the graded work is returned to the class. For the final
exam, the deadline is one week after the start of the next semester.
Bring your student id to the exam period. This will allow you to check in to take the exam.
Once you begin the exam, you will not be allowed to leave the room and return. If you leave the examination room, you will not be
allowed to continue your exam.
Final examination schedule: Monday, Apr 25, 2016, 6:00-7:30 p.m. This date is subject to correction based on the examination
schedule printed in the Fall 2016 Class Schedule Booklet .
