Objective:
Chemistry is the study of matter, energy and their interactions to form different kinds of both.  The emphasis of the first quarter will be on developing fluency with the processes and language that are required for further study in chemistry.  By the end of the quarter you should be familiar with the vocabulary, concepts and the methods for describing matter and its changes.

Prerequisites:
Three units of high school algebra and geometry (or equivalent) and one unit of high school chemistry (or equivalent).

Required Texts:
Chemistry: The Central Science, 7th ed.,  Brown, LeMay, & Bursten, Prentice Hall, Inc (1997)
Student’s Guide to Chemistry: The Central Science, Hill, Prentice Hall, Inc. (1997)

Calculator:
You will need a calculator capable of square roots, logarithms and exponential notation.  Programmable calculators will not be allowed during exams.

Exams:
There will a midterm exam and a final exam given during the semester. Each will be worth 100 points.  No make up exams will be given.

Laboratory:
Laboratory will be factored into the comprehensive grade and will be worth 100 points.  Students enrolled in CHEM 591 must also be enrolled in CHEM 593.

Letter Grades:
Letter grades will be assigned based according to the following point scale:
        A: 90-100%;  B: 80-89%;  C: 70-79% ;  D: 60-69%;  F: <60%

Materials Fees:
The materials fees collected for this laboratory course are used to partially defray the cost of replacing expendable materials, repairing defective equipment, repairing obsolete equipment and obtaining new equipment appropriate for student use in state of the art instruction in the laboratory science of chemistry

Incomplete Grade Policy:
According the University’s incomplete grade policy, if no formal grade change occurs within one year, an “I” automatically converts to an “F”.  If graduation occurs within the one-year period, the incomplete grade will be converted to an “F” before graduation.
