CH 318 Syllabus

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Application of principles learned in CH 317 to members of each homologous series. Importance of organic compounds in our daily lives. Introduction to biorganic chemistry (amino acids, nuclear bases, carbohydrates, lipids)

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY: My main objective is to transfer adequate and sufficient amount of knowledge to all the students at the appropriate levels: a) make sure that students understand the idea I am trying to convey, b) prepare students for the next level of education, c) develop the understanding of students, such that they adapt the process of thinking rather than memorizing facts and principles, d) develop practical skills and techniques to work confidently in laboratories, e) demonstrate how chemistry is part of their daily lives, and f) to use alternative and diverse methods of teaching to keep students motivated and interested during the course of their study in the semester, and hopefully for the rest of their lives.

45%	3 mid term exams (15% each) on 3 Feb, 3 March and 7 April; each exam will be one hour long, not comprehensive
25%	1 Final Exam: 3 May, 10:15-12:15 pm. 2 hours long and comprehensive
9%	Quizzes You may expect a 5 min quiz in every class. In addition there will weekly quizzes, which will be 10‑15 mins long. All these collectively make up the 9%.
6%	Electronic quizzes: on the CourseCompass web site
10%	Homework: will be assigned in the class throughout the semester
5%	Class participation: attendance, participation in the class and general etiquette

ACADEMIC HONESTY: Academic Honesty is required of all members of a learning community. Hence, Park will not tolerate cheating or plagiarism on tests, examinations, papers, or other course assignments. Learners who engage in such dishonesty may be given failing grades or expelled from Park.

PLAGIARISM: Plagiarism�the appropriation or imitation of the language or ideas of another person and presenting them as one�s original work�sometimes occurs through carelessness or ignorance. Learners who are uncertain about proper documentation of sources should consult their facilitator.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Instructors are required to keep attendance records and report absences. The instructor can excuse absences for cogent reasons, however missed work cannot be made up unless permitted by the instructor. In the event of two consecutive weeks of unexcused absences in a term of enrollment, the student will be administratively withdrawn, resulting in a grade of �F�. An Incomplete will not be issued to a student who has unexcused or excessive absences recorded for a course. Students receiving Military Tuition Assistance (TA) or Veterans Administration (VA) educational benefits must not exceed three unexcused absences in the term of enrollment. Excessive absences will be reported to the appropriate agency and may result in a monetary penalty to the student. Reports of F grade (attendance or academic) resulting from excessive absence for students receiving financial assistance from agencies not mentioned above will be reported to the appropriate agency.

Of 5 lectures will result in 3% deduction of overall grade
Of 9 lectures will result in a F in the class

1) There will be no drinking or eating in the classroom, unless approved by the instructor.
2) All assignments submitted should be stapled, neat and legible.
3) Tardiness in coming to class, late submission of homework and quizzes will constitute in a loss of class participation points.
4) Rude behaviour towards the instructor or a colleague will not be tolerated.
5) Students should avail all opportunities to participate in class, a disinterest in class participation will lead to loss of class participation points.
6) It is the student�s responsibility to keep solving problems at the end of the chapter and within the chapter as the course progresses. (The problems will help you understand the subject better and also give you insight on what is expected of you in exams.)
7) There will be absolutely no makeup exams or quizzes, hence students are advised to keep exam days free of any other commitment. Exam dates have been set in the syllabus, unless an absolute emergency arises (from the instructors point of view) none of those dates will be changed

1) buy it only if you really think you need it.
2) you can get a larger kit and share with a friend.
3) you may not need a model set if you are not going to be a chemistry major
4) make sure you see (even if its a picture) the model set before you buy it.
5) try not to buy a model that will break away eg the with wooden pieces.
6) if you are planning to take more chemistry/biology courses, buy a kit that can be used for both organic and inorganic chemistry
7) you can always sell your model kit next year if you think you will not need it.

5) UMKC bookstore sells model sets, you may want to take a look there also, if its convenient for you.
