CHE 116: General Chemistry Lecture, Spring 2011 GENERAL COURSE INFORMATION Instructor: Assistant Professor Mathew M. Maye Office: 4-012d Center for Science and Technology Office Hours: Wednesday, 4:00-6:00 pm and by appointment Phone: 443-2146, Email: mmmaye@syr.edu Website: http://blackboard.syr.edu (CHE.116.M025) Course Description: This course builds upon on the fundamental chemical principles learned in the first semester course (CHE 106) and introduces chemical kinetics and thermodynamics, intermolecular forces, chemical equilibrium, oxidation/reduction, and modern materials. Lectures: Monday & Wednesday 2:15-3:35 pm @ Gifford Auditorium, HBC (H.B. Crouse) Chemistry Secretary: Nancy Virgil, 120 LSC, 443-2851, nvirgil@syr.edu Textbook and Supporting Materials: • Chemistry, The Central Science (11th ed). (Pearson-Prentice Hall, 2009) • Studentʼs Guide (11th ed) (Pearson-Prentice Hall, 2009) • Both text & student guide available on reserve at Sci-Tech Library • MasteringChemistry login information (http://www.masteringchemistry.com/)Register using your SUID number and Course ID: CHE116MAYE11 • iClicker (remote for in-class participation)Register the iClicker at http://www.iclicker.com/registration/ using your NetID (SU login name, not SUID number) and your iClicker serial number (8 characters) from the back of the device. Lecture Notes will be placed on Blackboard. Your basic responsibilities include: • Attend lectures, bring your iClicker to class, read the assigned material. • Study your lecture notes and assigned text reading. • Attend recitations. • Do assigned homework on time and review them before exams. • BRING A CALCULATOR TO ALL LECTURES, RECITATIONS, AND EXAMS. • Take all of the examinations. NOTE: The CHE 116 (Lecture) has no connection to CHE 117 (Laboratory) course. Disability-Related Issues, or any other concerns should be discussed with Prof. Maye as possible (during the first 2 weeks of the course) to arrange for appropriate accommodations. Students requiring special accommodations MUST register with the Office of Disability Services (804 University Avenue Room 309, Phone: (315) 443-4498; TDD: (315) 443-1371, E-Mail: odssched@syr.edu). Lecture Etiquette includes the silencing of cell phones, and typing/tapping at your keyboards in
1
a quiet manner. Any disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Calculators must be cleared of memory before an exam or quiz. The TAʼs reserve the right to inspect calculators. No cell phone calculators are permitted. A basic scientific calculator is therefore recommended. Please practice with your calculator before the exam to ensure you, and it, are working properly. GRADING Exams will cover both material covered in lecture and the assigned text readings. Many test questions will be similar to problems worked in lecture or assigned homework exercises. Please note, questions discussed in lecture may or may not be present in our text. Exams 1-3 will focus on the assigned chapters and only on topics covered in lecture, while Exam 4 is cumulative. Please note, no exams will be dropped. Like a sports team, you will perform on exams like you practice. The more you practice, the harder you practice, the better you will play. Exams #1-3 are given during the regular class time period, whereas the final cumulative Exam 4 will take place as shown below: Exam 1: Wednesday, February 23 (in class) Exam 2: Wednesday, April 3 (in class) Exam 3: Wednesday, April 24 (in class) Exam 4: Tues, May 10, 2011 5:15-7:15pm, Gifford Auditorium, HBC (H.B. Crouse) Final Grade Determination is based on total points earned out of a possible 1000 points (e.g. 1000 pts = 100%). “Curving” will generally not be applied, but Prof. Maye reserves the right to do so. In such a case, scores will only be curved up, and will not impact your letter grade in a negative way. Exams 1-3 (200 pts/exam) = Final Exam = Recitation = Online Homework = Course Total =
600 pts (60%) 200 pts (20%) 100 pts (10%) 100 pts (10%) 1000 points (100%)
Academic Honesty is expected of all students. Any incidence of academic dishonesty, as defined by the Syracuse University Academic Integrity Policy (http://academicintegrity.syr.edu), will result in both course sanctions and formal notification of the College of Arts & Sciences. In this course, students are allowed and strongly encouraged to study together, but exams and inclass/online problem sets must represent the work of the individual student. Attendance will be recorded in each Recitation and Lecture. Recitation attendance is explicitly used in the calculation of your Recitation grade. Your presence in Lecture will be recorded via your iClicker, but only if you participate in the in-class iClicker question and answer sessions. Lecture attendance will be used as extra credit in the course and will be worth 20 points (2% of the total possible score) and added directly to your overall class score at the end of the course. This is sufficient to help students falling on the borderline between two grade levels. Absences due to religious holidays or official Syracuse University commitments (e.g. athletics)
2
will be excused. You must notify Prof Maye and your TA in writing at least one week before the absence; an opportunity to make up work will be provided. Medical absences will be excused based on written documentation from the Health Center or a health-care provider. NO VERBAL EXCUSES WILL BE ACCEPTED. The medical document must specifically indicate that you were unable to attend class/recitation and will be verified. NO MAKEUP EXAMINATIONS EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF ADVANCE-NOTICE APPROVED ABSENCES. Makeup exams will need to be taken BEFORE the regularly scheduled exam time.
RECITATIONS During recitation your TA will go over the previous weekʼs relevant text and lecture material. You and your TA will also go over portions of the MasteringChemistry exercises that may be challenging. At the end of each recitation, the TA will give a short quiz (~10min) based on the previous weekʼs homework or Lecture. See homework assignments below. Please note, quizzes will not be given the week of an Exam. Recitation grades are based on quiz score (80%), and attendance (20%).

HOMEWORK All homework must be submitted via the “MasteringChemistry” (www.masteringchemistry.com) using the following login information:
website
Course ID: CHE116MAYE11 Student ID: Your SU NetID (login name, not SUID number) The homework questions shown below are due by Friday at 7:00pm of the assigned week. It is your responsibility to prepare ahead of time, and to submit the correct answer, in correct format, by the deadline. Late problem sets will not be accepted. Online problem sets must be completed by each student using his or her own access account, though reference to the text and lecture notes is allowed. Please note, when submitting your answers, the input style can be tricky, so plan the appropriate amount of time to submit problems. Grading of homework is based on the number of correct answers. The masteringchemistry questions are the same as the questions at the end of each book chapter. The answers to the odd number questions are located at the end of the book, and more detailed answers can be found in the solutions manual, which is on research at the library. For example, questions #13 & #14, would be very similar in style and approach, and looking at a detailed answer to #13 would prove invaluable in your study and work on #14. Wk 1 2
