We will meet at 8:00 AM, Monday through Thursday of each week for lecture. Each
Friday, there will be a problem-solving exam, which starts at 8:00 AM and ends at 10:00
AM. During Chemistry 1210 we will cover Chapters 1-11. It will be necessary to move
along at a rapid pace, which requires students to read ahead in the textbook. We will try
to adhere to the following schedule, recognizing that there will be adjustments during the
course of the summer term.

ADA Policy: Students with medical, psychological, learning, or other disabilities desiring
academic adjustments, accommodations, or auxiliary aids will need to contact the Disability
Support Center, Room 206 F at the Sharwan Smith Center Building, Sharwan Smith Center,
phone (435) 865-8022. The Disability Support Center determines eligibility for and authorizes
the provision of these services and aids.
Exam Policy: The Final Exam shall be comprehensive per Chemistry Department policy. The
Final is produced by the American Chemical Society and is not available to the instructor prior to
the date of testing. Therefore, it is to your advantage to learn as much as possible throughout the
semester to avoid “cramming for the final”. This test is a multiple choice examination, a
scantron will be required. All other exams are not multiple choice and a scantron is not required
Honesty Policy: Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent.
Academic Dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, fabrication, plagiarism or
facilitating dishonesty. Except for cases of major offenses, responding to academic
dishonesty is the responsibility of the instructor of the course in which the dishonesty
occurs. If a student is guilty of academic dishonesty, the consequences may range from
admonition or formal reprimand to dismissal from the class and may include a failing
grade for the assignment, exam or course. Other penalties for severe infractions will be
dealt with, based on Southern Utah University’s Policies and Procedures - 11.2.
Student’s rights and responsibilities are also detailed in the student handbook
Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to come daily. With few exceptions, allowances
(i.e. make up missed quizzes etc.) will not be made for students who miss class.
Late assignments/make up work: You are expected to take the exam on the day the test is
given. When warranted tests may be taken at another time with approval of the instructor:
Emergency Management:
In case of emergency, the University's Emergency Notification System (ENS) will be
activated. Students are encouraged to maintain updated contact information using the link on
the home page of the mySUU portal. In addition, students are encouraged to familiarize
themselves with the Emergency Response Protocols posted in each classroom. Detailed
information about the University's emergency management plan can be found at
http://www.suu.edu/ad/facilities/emergency-procedures.html
HEOA Compliance: The sharing of copyrighted material through
peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, except as provided under U.S. copyright law,
is prohibited by law. Detailed information can be found at
http://www.suu.edu/it/p2p-student-notice.html.
Disclaimer: Information contained in this syllabus, other than the grading, late assignments,
makeup work and attendance policies, may be subject to change with advance notice, as deemed
appropriate by the instructor.
