POLICIES AND PROCEDURES LECTURES - An approximate schedule is given above as to the chapters to be covered each week. You are responsible not only for material covered in the text, but also for information covered in class. You are expected to read the material to be covered prior to the lecture. QUIZ SECTIONS - The first part of the quiz section is devoted to a quiz on the material covered the previous week. Be on time! The last part of the quiz section is devoted to helping you with difficulties in understanding the lecture material, in doing the assigned problems and performing the laboratory write-ups. EXPERIMENTAL LABS - The policies and procedures for the labs are covered in the lab manual available for purchase at the Odegaard Copy Center. Labs begin the second week of class if you are in Gp.1, and the 3rd week for Gp.2 (see above for your Gp.#). Please pick up your C142 Lab Manual well in advance and read it over carefully. Note that new Lab Manuals are being used this quarter. SAFE CLOTHES / SHOES / GOGGLES REQUIRED FOR LAB- For safety reasons, we are not allowed to admit you into the lab if you wear shorts, short skirts, or open-toed shoes. (We suggest you keep an extra pair of safe shoes / pants in a locker in Bagley, in case you forget to dress properly.) Also, approved safety goggles must be worn at all times in Lab. These are available for purchase (~$4) at the UW bookstore. LAB PRELIMS: There is a certain amount of reading and homework (Prelims) that must be completed before you enter the laboratory for each new experiment, or you will not be allowed to proceed. In each case, you must: (1) complete that lab's Preliminary Exercise, which can be found at the end of that lab's section in the Lab Manual; and (2) Fill out the sections of that lab's Report form (found in the Lab Manual) entitled "Purpose" and "Procedure". These Prelims count part of the lab grade, and you will be given credit only for what you do before you first enter lab. LAB REPORTS - For all 4 of the labs, you are expected to complete all calculations and tabulate your results in the pages in your lab manual, turning these in before the end of the lab period (and saving a carbon copy for yourself). For one of the labs, you will be required to write a formal lab report. These will be due the week following the lab. MIDTERM EXAMS - There will be two midterm examinations to be given on the dates listed in the syllabus. You must sit according to the seating charts, which will be posted on the walls in the front of the classroom a few days before the exam. The material to be covered will be described in lecture. Most of the questions on the exams will be similar to homework problems. FINAL EXAM - TUES., 12 DEC. IN BAGLEY 131 FROM 8:30 am-10:20 am. The first half of the final will cover lecture material presented since Midterm Exam 2. The second hour of the final will be a cumulative review of all lecture material. REGRADING OF HOMEWORK, LAB REPORTS AND EXAMS- If you wish your homework, lab report or exam to be regraded, it must be given to the Grading Coordinator, Jennifer Popham (Mailbox #257,
[email protected]) within 24 hours of its return to you, along with a note explaining what you want changed and why. BE BRIEF. If you are still not satisfied, you may submit the regraded material to Professor Campbell or Callis for review. Note: We save copies of many of the student exams before returning them, to make sure that the returned exam has not been altered (which can constitute a Conduct Code violation). We reserve the right to regrade the entire homework, lab report or exam. LATE POLICY - No late work will be accepted. Please give your homework assignments to the TA as you enter the quiz section. Graded materials will be returned 1 week from the hand-in date. MAKE-UP WORK - There is no make-up work. If you miss an exam or assignment, you receive a zero. The only exception is for an illness, as verified by your Doctor, the Hall Health Center, or your living group advisor. COURSE GRADING -

GRADE DISTRIBUTION - The undergraduate program committee policy states that the final mean GPA in Chemistry 142 should fall within the range 2.6 +/- 0.2. It is the Chemistry Department's policy not to make grade changes of 0.1 after final class grades are submitted to Records. COPY CENTER - ODEGAARD UNDERGRADUATE LIBRARY - A file has been set up for this class in the Undergraduate Library. This file will contain items that are difficult to post on the class web site. Advise us of any other materials you would like to have placed in the file. BULLETIN BOARD - A bulletin board in Bagley Hall (just outside the classroom) has been reserved for this class. The exam answer "keys" will be posted following each examination. The homework keys will also be posted there. Grades will be posted following each examination, listed by the last four digits of the student number. Students are asked to check their grades for correct recording. Any discrepancies noted should be brought to the attention of the Grading Coordinator, Jennifer Popham (Box #257,
[email protected]). Office hours for the TAs and extra help sessions / office hours offered by the instructors near exam time will also be posted there. TA OFFICE HOURS - The TAs office hours will be posted on the Chem 142B bulletin board. You are free to attend any of the TA office hours. One of the advantages of having a linked class is that you have the same TA for the lab and lecture course. The TA is an important person to your success. Be sure to use the resources offered by the TAs. Show them respect and they will return it. They (or the professor) can clarify any questions you might have about the text (e.g., What do these words mean?) or the lecture material (e.g., I missed something or don't follow his logic here in my notes?) They can also spot your background weaknesses and help. WORLD WIDE WEB SITE http://http://depts.washington.edu/campbelc/C142. This is where the latest course information is posted.
