Text: Petrucci, Harwood and Herring,
General Chemistry - 8th Edition, Prentice Hall, 2002
Prerequisite: Satisfactory performance on the
Chemistry Placement Exam
A Few Important Points
You are required to attend class. If an emergency arises and you must be absent,
please try to notify me ahead of time and I will see that you get copies of the handouts
for that day. A missed exam cannot be made up without prior notification and exams can
only be missed for serious reasons. Here are my phone numbers and both have an
answering machine (office: 745-6238; home: 842-5865). I will post worked-out answers
to all assigned problem handouts on the bulletin board next to my office. Typical
questions taken from old exams are on this web-site. Only non-programable
calculators can be used on the exams. If desired, there will be
after-hours help sessions prior to each exam and the week before the final exam.
If you withdraw from lecture near midterm, you may stay in the laboratory.
No withdrawals or audits can be granted after the last day to withdraw each
semester, usually around midterm. For Fall 2003, the last day is Thursday,
October 13th.
I must follow the University policy concerning cheating. If you are caught cheating on
any exam, you will be dismissed from the class with an "F" with no opportunity
to withdraw with a "W."
If you want to see me outside of class check my office hours posted on my office door.
I will try to be there during those hours, but I cannot guarantee that every day. If I am
in the office when you come by, feel free to come in. You can always catch me during 223
lab on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons (Room 332) or by phone or email. I am unavailable
Friday afternoon because of meetings and departmental seminars. It is always best to
make an appointment.
I adhere to all university policies concerning equal opportunity,
disabilities and student & faculty integrity.
"Students with disabilities who require accommodations
(academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids or services) for this course must contact the
Office for Student Disability Services, Room 445, Potter Hall. The OFSDS telephone
number is (270) 745-5004 V/TDD. Please DO NOT request accommodations directly from
the professor or instructor without a letter of accommodation from the Office for Student
Disability Services."
If you have any questions concerning the prerequisites, exams
or any aspect of the course drop me an email
and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
