Course objectives:
Chemistry 101 introduces many fundamental concepts of chemistry,
beginning with the atomic theory, definition and use of the mole
concept, the stoichiometry of chemical reactions, and types of chemical
bonds. Building on this, the following topics make up the bulk of
the rest of the course: Practical and theoretical treatment of solubility
and solutions; enthalpy and thermodynamics; chemical equilibria
and its application to acid-base reactions.
Grading: Your grade will be based on scores in
three in-class exams (150 points each) plus homework (at least
50 points). Grades will be assigned on the basis of percentage
of possible points earned, according to the scale: 90-100 A-/A;
80-89 B-/B/B+; 70-79 C-/C/C+; 60-69 D/D+; <60 F. Note that adjustments
to this scale may be made according to the class distribution of
total scores and your level of class participation. NOTE:
It is your responsibility to be familiar with and abide by GU's
Academic Honesty Policy
Missed exams, labs, late homework: I will permit
make-up exams only for students with a legitimate,
urgent, verifiable excuse who have contacted me prior
to the exam. I reserve the following rights: Scheduling and administration
of make-up exams are solely at the discretion of the instructor.
Instructor has the right to deduct points for homework that is
turned in late, disruptive classroom behavior, or lack of effort
or participation.
