LAB TEXT	THERE IS NO LAB WITH CHEM 100
CALCULATOR	You will need a calculator with exponential notation and logs. Alpha-numeric calculators and portable computers will NOT be permitted during exams.
PREREQUISITES	Chem 100 has no basic prerequisites. To be eligible to take Chemistry 100, you should NOT meet the following prerequisites: a "B" or better in second semester of high school chemistry, or a composite ACT score of at least 22 AND a C or better in Math 115 or a math placement score that places your out of Math 115. If you meet these prerequisites, you should be in Chem 111.

Eligibility is limited to those students unable to comprehend Chem 111 subject matter.

It is expected that each student complete his or her own work individually. Group work will be acceptable when assigned. Familiarize yourself with the University policies on cheating, plagarism and general academic conduct.

% Total Grade

GRADE

3 Exams @ 15% each.........45% of grade
1 Final @ 20%...................20% of grade
Quizzes & problem sets......20% of grade
Class Participation................15% of Grade

All students who score under 60% are required to solve all problems in which errors were made and turn in the corrected test. Once completed and regraded, the individual exam score will be adjusted to 60%. Failure to work the missed problems will result in a furhter deduction of 5% from the exam.

UNIVERSAL GRADE CHANGE FORM

Class Participation:

Class participation is based solely on the judgement of the professor. Included in the determination of class participation are attendance, lecture time questions and answers, and adherence to lecture guidelines.

Those coming late to class will earn zero (0) class participation points.

Those talking during lecture will receive zero (0) participation points for the semester.

Those listening to any electronic device other than hearing aides will receive zero (0) participation points for the semester.

Those missing missing more than 1 lecture will have an absence report issued which may result in the student being disenrolled from the course.

EVERYBODY IS NON-LAB!

To receive a grade of "I", the student must have a passing grade at the time of the request. Specific requirements will be written which the student must complete in order to have the "I" grade replaced. In no case will a student with failing grades be granted an incomplete. Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults and therefore it is the student's responsibility to withdraw from the course if the need arises. The instructor WILL NOT administratively drop students who fail to attend class. Students who register but do not attend will be given a grade of "F".

EXERCISES

Problems will be assigned regularly. Homework will be collected weekly.
