    CHEMISTRY 1210 FALL 2011

    Instructor: Prof. Edward M. Eyring; office S HEB 2428; email: [email protected] hours: Tuesday 9:00-10:30; Thursday 8:30-11:30;

    Or stop by my office- if available, Ill talk with you.Telephone: 801-581-8658NOTE: Do not send assignments or confidential information by email.

    Lecture: MWF 11:50am-12:40pm, HEB 2008 beginning on Monday, August 22nd.Students will be held responsible for knowing all material discussed in class, whether it appearsin the text book or not.

    Laboratory: You should be concurrently enrolled in the laboratory course, CHEM 1215. This laboratory classis separate and independent from CHEM 1210 with respect to grading and enrollment. It isrequired for most majors that require CHEM 1210.

    Prerequisites:College Algebra (Math 1050 or equivalent). If you have not taken High School Chemistry, youare strongly encouraged to take CHEM 1200 prior to enrolling in this course. Manyhomework and exam problems are story-type problems, and you must be skilled at reading,

    interpreting, and solving these types of problems. This typically requires a strong foundation inalgebra. If you find these types of problems challenging or formidable, you will struggle in thisclass. A review of some of the concepts from high school chemistry that provides usefulbackground for this class is also found in CHEM 1208, which is an online course that will helpyou get up to speed for CHEM 1210.

    Discussion: CHEM 1210 students must be registered in a Discussion Section: Teaching AssistantsClass#2324 Section. 018 Tues, Thurs 7:30 8:20 am ST 208 Justin JensonClass#2325 Section. 019 Tues, Thurs 9:40 10:30 am LCB 225 Wendy GollerClass#2326 Section. 020 Tues, Thurs 12:55 1:45 pm AEB 310 Nicholas SpiropulosClass#2327 Section. 021 Tues, Thurs 9:40 10:30 am WEB L120 Griffin Bullock

    The first discussion section will be held on Tuesday, August 23rd.

    Learning to solve problems in general chemistry is the focus of the discussions, which are led by ateaching assistant (TA). Discussions are not meant to be repetitions of the class lectures and in somecases will present material that your lecturer does not cover in class. Your TAs primary job is to helpyou solve the suggested homework problems. You will get far more out of discussion if you actually tryto solve the problems sets before each Discussion section meeting.

    You are responsible for knowing your Discussion Section number and your TAs name. If you have anycomplaints about your TA, bring them to me and I will speak to the TA about the issue withoutrevealing your identity.

    Homework: Homework is optional, but may be used in calculating your letter grade. Your overall score in thecourse will be calculated (see below) including homework and omitting homework, and the highest

  • 7/29/2019 Chemistry 1210 Syllabus Fall 2011 v3

    2/10

    2

    score will be used to assign your letter grade. Thus, doing the homework can only improve your grade.In fact, it is an easy way to bump up your grade, if you are disciplined about doing the homework.

    The homework makes use of the ChemVantage website (http://www.ChemVantage.org), accessto which is purchased as part of the tuition for this course. I or a TA will assign homework problems onthe ChemVantage website for you to complete after I have lectured on a given subject.

    Text: Donald A. McQuarrie, Peter A. Rock, and Ethan B. Gallogly, GENERAL CHEMISTRY, 4th

    Edition, University Science Books, 20 Edgehill Road, Mill Valley, CA 94941, Paperbackpublished in 2011, 1021 pages plus Appendices. Earlier editions of McQuarrie et al. exist inprint. You are encouraged to buy the new book rather than struggling with differences inproblem sets.

    Web Info: Pertinent class information, including class notes, can be found on the courses WebCT page(http://webct.utah.edu). Additionally, make sure that your current email address is on file withthe University, so I can contact you with additional information about the course.

    Grading: Three mid-term exams (called E1, E2 and E3 in my grading description below)One Final exam (called F in my grading description below)

    Homework from ChemVantage.org (called CV in my grading description below)Clicker questions (called K in the grading description below)

    The computer will calculate your overall score in the class several different ways, and will assignyour final score based on his best of these results. The methods are:

    Method I: Omits all homework and omits all clicker questionsE1, E2, E3 and F are scaled to count for 100 points each. The letter grade is based on 400 pointspossible.

    Method II: Includes ChemVantage.org but not clicker questions.

    E1, E2, E3 and F scaled to count for 80 points each and CV for 80 points. Again the total pointspossible is 400.

    Method III: Includes clicker question points as well as homework (ChemVantage) pointsE1,E2, E3 and F are each scaled to count for 75 possible points. CV is scaled to count forpossible 60 points, and clicker questions (K) count for a possible 40 points. (out of a total of 400points)

    This freshman chemistry course can be completed successfully without owning a so-called clicker device. Toavoid the clicker option, the student may elect either Grading Method #1 based only on exam scores or GradingMethod #2 based on a combination of exam scores and homework problems administered through a computer

    system called ChemVantage. (You will have access to ChemVantage at no further cost beyond yourregistration fee for enrolling in CHEM 1210.) Students who have difficulty performing well on three 50 minuteduration written mid-term exams when packed shoulder to shoulder in HEB 2008 may recognize possibleadvantages of clicker questions included in Grading Method #3. Students may buy a Turning Technologies"clicker" at the University Bookstore. A new unit costs approximately $60, a used one costs approximately$30. Coming to lecture without a clicker will be a serious mistake if a student has elected Grading Method #3.

    There is absolutely no way to make-up clicker question points that a student missed because s/he did notattend lecture or was sitting in the lecture hall without her/his clicker.

    The actual number of raw clicker points will depend on how many clicker questions are posed during thesemester. At least one clicker question will be posed each week beginning the second week of the semester.Each student is expected to consider the clicker question and then choose one of the possible answers using aTurning Point clicker. A total of 4 clicker points will be awarded for a correct answer. A total of 3 clickerpoints will be awarded for an incorrect answer. A total of zero points will be awarded if no answer at all is

    entered. Therefore, it is in the students best interest to try to answer each question correctly, but entersomething (your best guess) regardless. At the end of the semester, those students who have accumulated 85%of the total clicker points will get the maximum points (40) added to their overall score at the end of thesemester. Those falling below the 85% threshold will receive a proportional amount of the 40 points, as follows:If the student gets 80-85% of the total number of possible clicker points, this is decreased to 95%. If the studentgets 75-80% of the total number of possible clicker points, this is decreased to 90%, etc.This structure allows students to miss 15% of the lectures that involve clicker questions without incurring apenalty. The clicker questions will be posted to WebCT at the end of each week.

    THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS! If you miss one midterm exam, I will use your

    score on the final exam to calculate your score of that exam. If you miss more than one exam,however, you will get a zero for the second (or third) exam that you miss. If you need to miss anexam for a legitimate, documented reason that is known prior to the exam date, let me know andI may permit you to take the exam early. I will not give make-up exams after the time of thescheduled exam.

    Midterm exams will be returned in the discussion section by your TA and will be available fortwo weeks.After this period, leftover exams will be discarded.

    Because the study of chemistry naturally builds on itself, all exams in the course will becomprehensive, but will emphasize information covered since the previous exam.

    Course Content: This is a first semester class in General Chemistry for Science Majors. The first 16 Chaptersof the text will be covered. Among the topics discussed in CHEM 1210 are balanced chemicalequations and reaction stoichiometry, chemical reactions in aqueous solution, ideal gas laws, thequantum theory and electronic structure of atoms, covalent and ionic bonding models,thermochemistry and the first law of thermodynamics, phase changes and colligative properties.

    You will be assumed to already know the names and symbols of the first 36 elements in thePeriodic Table, the names, formulas, and charges for common cations, common anions,polyatomic anions, and to be able to identify the diatomic elements. If this is not the case, youshould learn this information now. You must also learn the meaning and application of the SI

    Prefixes (Inside back cover).

    Primarily, the goal of this course is to train you to be an independent, critical thinker who iscapable of approaching previously unseen problems and solving them in a scientifically correctmanner.

  • 7/29/2019 Chemistry 1210 Syllabus Fall 2011 v3

    With respect to the course content, it is the students obligation to determine, before the last dayto drop courses without penalty, when course requirements conflict with the students sincerely-held core beliefs. If there is such a conflict, the student should consider dropping the class. Astudent who finds this solution impracticable may request a content accommodation from theinstructor. Though the University provides, through this policy, a process by which a studentmay make such a request, the policy does not oblige the instructor to grant the request, except inthose cases when a denial would be arbitrary and capricious or illegal. This request must bemade to the instructor in writing, and the student must deliver a copy of the request to the office

    of the department Chair or the office of the Dean of the College of Science. The students requestmust articulate the burden the requirement would place on the students beliefs.

    Calculator: You will need a scientific calculator capable of log/exponential functions and scientific notationfor this course. The General Chemistry Faculty at the University of Utah have agreed thatprogrammable calculators or other electronic devices capable of storing alphanumeric dataand/or special equation solving capabilities are not to be used on exams in General Chemistrycourses. Appropriate, inexpensive ($10 to $20) scientific calculators are available at theUniversity Bookstore and other retail outlets. Inappropriate calculators will be confiscatedduring examinations; hence, you may not have a calculator to use during the exam. Likewise,cell phones, PDAs, laptops, etc. will not be permitted. Prior to an exam, you are responsible to

    see me to verify that your calculator or equivalent can be used during the exam.

    Phones: Turn your phone and audible pagers OFF before class begins. If your phone rings duringlecture, be prepared to be ridiculed mercilessly and charged a $10 fee. If your phone rings duringan exam, you will be dismissed immediately after watching the professor shred your exam beforeyour very eyes. Phones are absolutely forbidden during exams!

    Final Grades:Each exam may contain questions related to subject matter discussed in class that has not beendiscussed in the text. Thus, it is prudent to attend all lectures.The mark I (incomplete) shall be given and reported for incomplete work because ofcircumstances beyond the students control. The grade of I must be used only for a student

    who is passing the course and who needs to complete 20% or less of the course. An I must notbe used in a way that will permit a student to retake the course without paying tuition. If thestudent attends the course during a subsequent semester as part of the effort required to completethe course, he/she must be registered (either as a regular student or for audit) in the semester inwhich he/she attends. If incomplete work has not been finished within one calendar year after theI was given, the I will be changed to an E by the Registrars office. Should the studentgraduate within one calendar year after receiving the I, but before completing the work, the Iwill remain in the record, but will not contribute to credit towards graduation or the grade pointaverage.

    Dropping CHEM 1210: Subject to changes in the official University of Utah Calendar, students may drop

    (delete) any class without penalty during the first week of the term. The last day to drop a classwithout tuition penalties is Wednesday, August 31st. It is possible to withdraw from the courseup to Friday, October 21st, but you will still have to pay tuition for the course and a W willappear on your transcript. You do NOT need the instructors signature to withdraw. AfterOctober 21st, a student must petition for withdrawal to the Deans office of their academiccollege. University policy states that withdrawals after this date should only be granted for non-academic reasons beyond the students control. I want to avoid a bad grade or similar excuse

    does not qualify. Students must decide on or before Friday, October 21st if they wish towithdraw from Chem 1210.

    Exam Regrades: Legitimate questions about the grading of an exam (either the grading of a particularproblem or an addition error in the score) can be submitted up to one week after the exam ishanded back in your discussion class. The procedure for handing back an exam for regrade is toattach a separate piece of paper to the front of the exam with your name, your student IDnumber, the number of question(s) to be regraded, and a clear, brief justification for the regrade.

    This is to be submitted to me (HEB 2428) or to my secretary (HEB 2420) not to your TA.

    Do not write on the exam itself or I may choose not to accept it for a regrade. Trivialresubmissions are strongly discouraged and may result in the entire exam being regraded.Anyone caught turning in an altered exam for additional credit will be promptly referred to theDeans Office and be given a Grade of E for the course.

    Academic Honesty: By submitting an assignment, you are representing that it is your own work and that youhave followed the rules associated with the assignment. Incidents of academic misconduct (e.g.cheating, plagiarizing, research misconduct, misrepresenting ones work and/or inappropriatelycollaborating on an assignment) will be dealt with severely in accordance with the Student Code

    (http://www.regulations.utah.edu/academics/6-400.html). A single instance of academicmisconduct may result in a failing grade for the course; however, multiple instances ofmisconduct may result in probation, suspension or dismissal from a program, suspension ordismissal from the University, or revocation of a degree or certificate.

    Incidents of academic dishonesty will be dealt with severely. Anyone caught cheating on anexam will be referred to the Dean for immediate disciplinary action and should expect to receivean E in the course. A typical way to cheat is to alter an incorrect answer on a graded examand then hand it back to be regraded. To monitor this problem a certain portion of all exams willbe photocopied, and exams handed back for regrade will be compared to these photocopies.Additionally, a letter detailing the cheating incident will be put in the students permanent

    academic file.

    Disability Services: The University of Utah seeks to provide equal access to its programs, services andactivities for people with disabilities. If you will need accommodations in the class, reasonableprior notice needs to be given to the Center for Disability Services (CDS), 162 Oplin UnionBuilding, 801-581-5020. CDS will work with you and the instructor to make arrangement foraccommodations. All written information in this course can be made available in alternativeformat with prior notification to the Center for Disability Services.

    Supplemental Instruction Program (SI): The Supplemental Instruction Program (SI) is scheduled for thiscourse to provide organized study sessions. These sessions are free and open to all students in the

    course and are led by an undergraduate who has mastered this subject. Your SI leader will beattending classes, reading the material, and doing any relevant assignments to be prepared forthe SI sessions. The purpose of SI is to see that each of you has the opportunity to do as well asyou would like to in this course. The SI leader will review, organize, and clarify the materialfrom lectures, and teach you ways to develop effective study skills for this course, and help youprepare for exams. Your SI leader will schedule 3 meetings per week convenient to the majority

  • 7/29/2019 Chemistry 1210 Syllabus Fall 2011 v3

    6/10

    6

    of your schedules. Attendance is voluntary, and you may attend as many or as few sessions asyou like.

    Expectations: Many of you will find this to be a demanding course, perhaps one of the toughest you will take incollege. Each semester, the percentage of students who study 10+ hours/week for this coursecoincides well with the percentage of As earned in the course. Studying at such a level does notguarantee that level of grade, but there is a strong correlation.

    This is not a course merely to check off a prerequisite or requirement. If that is your intent, youshould take this class from someone else.

    Keys to success:

    1. Read the chapter before coming to lecture. As university science students, you are expected to beable to read and comprehend the vast majority of the course textbook on your own. The courseschedule (see below) indicates approximately when a chapter is discussed. However, bear in mindthat the material in these chapters is so intricately linked that topics may be introduced inconjunction with other topics. This is how the real world operates (in all subjects, not just chemistryor science). Nature does not divide herself into our artificial designations; people develop theseconstructs to simplify our understanding of aspects of it. Similarly, much of our study this semester

    will concern ideas that intermingle with physics, and many examples and applications involvebiology and geology.

    2. For the vast majority of students enrolled in CHEM 1210, attending lecture is critical. Thelectures will not be simple recaps of the books presentation of the chemistry, but are meant toaugment the text and emphasize particular aspects of the science, and to help you see theconnections between all the seemingly-disparate parts. This, in turn, leads to comprehension/masteryof the science.

    3. Attending the Discussion Sections is just as important as attending lectures, though a shockingpercentage of students fail to realize this until it is too late. Because of the mountain of materialcovered in lectures, little time is available to solve specific problems in class. The DiscussionSections, led by graduate students, provide opportunities to help you learn how to solve problems, aswell as to ask questions to further clarify the concepts.

    4. One does not master any skill simply by watching someone else or being told how. The sameprinciple applies to science. Watching me or your TA solve problems is a good beginning, butremember that neither of us will be solving exam problems for you. You and a scientific calculatorare the only resources you will have during the examination. As a scientist, you will be concernedwith solving problems by applying your knowledge, because knowledge without comprehension or

    application is a trivial pursuit. The way to solve problems, particularly in a facile manner as neededfor examination problems, is to practice, practice, and practice, just as one practices a sport ormusical instrument. Your book is full of problems you can use for practice. When preparing for anexam, a technique that you may find useful is to prepare a practice exam for a friend, who does thesame, then swap practice exams. After completing the practice exams, you can grade each othersexam. This technique has the advantage of forcing you to learn the subject well enough to compose

  • 7/29/2019 Chemistry 1210 Syllabus Fall 2011 v3

    7/10

    7

    questions. If you can do this, you can be fairly confident that youll be able to answer similarquestions on the real exam.

    You will learn too little in this course and will likely earn a poor grade by trying to memorize yourway through it. General chemistry students tend to like shortcuts, memory tricks, and recipes forsolving problems. Those techniques may work well for other courses, but lead to bewildermentand despair in university-level science courses. A measure of your proficiency in this chemistry classis your ability to solve problems that you have not previously seen, but involve identical ideas that

    you have seen. Often, memorization leads to a C or worse, while comprehension leads to a B or anA.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    1. May I register for one Discussion Section and attend another?Yes, if the new TA is willing to record your work for transmission to Ted Eyring and there is avacant seat you may sit in.As stated above, each Discussion section is limited to 50 students, and it is a burden to the assignedTA to have extra students, in addition to diluting individualized attention any student can expectfrom the TA when more students are enrolled.

    2. Do I have to attend the lectures or the Discussion Section?Attendance will not be taken at the lectures, but you skip lectures at your peril. You will be heldaccountable for all topics presented in lectures. Skipping the discussion section is an option, but Irecommend this option only for students who are very confident of their ability to do well on AllFour Exams in the course.

    3. Do I need to know? or Will the following be on an examination?Yes! If I think that is important enough to bring to your attention in class, it is sufficiently important

    for you to know and thus be examined on it. I will note in class specifically important concepts thatyou must know, as well as tell you which are less important. Generally speaking the more time Ispend on a topic/concept, the more important it is.

    4. Will you assist me with solving problems during office hours?Yes. You should check with the TA first, but I certainly will help you solve the problem(s), but notsolve it for you. You must be prepared to show me what you have done, so we can use this as a

    starting point.

    I may be available at other times, but it is best to schedule an appointment in advance.

    5. Will copies of past examinations be on file at the Marriott Library?No.

    6. Are extra credit assignments available?No. There will be no extra credit assignments available in this course.

    7. How will the final grades be assigned?See the Grading section of the syllabus above. Grades will not be assigned on the individual exams

    given in this course. I will provide distributions of scores, however, so you can see how you aredoing compared to your colleagues in the class.

    8. May I be excused from an exam due to participation in an athletic event?Yes, if it is in accordance with the University of Utah guidelines. Documentation from the athleticdepartment is required prior to the exam. There will be no make-up examinations given, but you cansee how your score will be computed in the Grading section on page 2. You may be able to take theexam prior to your scheduled event, if you notify me sufficiently far in advance.

    9. May I be excused from an exam due to an unexpected emergency?Emergencies do occur. Like illnesses, they will be considered as legitimate excuses if properdocumentation is provided. Again there will be no make-up examinations given, but you can seehow your score will be computed in the Grading section on page 2.

    10.What is the order of events at the First Midterm Exam?You will show your University ID card as you enter HEB 2008. With a large class this process takessome time. Arrive early. If you arrive late, you will lose some of the valuable fifty minutes to writeyour exam answers. You may be photographed in the lecture room during exams. These photographswill not be made public. By taking this class you agree to be photographed. Next you will be handed

    an exam paper with a seat number on the front page. Proceed quickly to your seat carrying only theexam paper, your cheap pocket calculator, and a pen or pencil. (Books, coats, and other personalproperty must be left on or behind the long lab bench in front of the blackboards.) Write your nameand student number on the exam booklet. Do not write anything inside the booklet until you are toldto begin the exam. No one will be permitted to leave the lecture hall, except to go to the lavatory,during the first fifty minutes of the exam. If you momentarily leave the exam room, turn your exampaper over so your answers are not seen by students seated near you. If you are done answeringquestions and fifty minutes have elapsed since the exam started, you may leave the lecture hallQUIETLY.
