Course Material Locations: Lecture Notes, Quizzes, Labs, and Assignments • Canvas:http://canvas.wwu.edu • Lecture Notes: www.chem.wwu.edu/hurlbut/ (lower case) • Online HW:www.saplinglearning.com • Prelab, Labs, Safety Quiz:www.saplinglearning.com • Lab Safety Quiz(also at): cobalt.chem.wwu.edu/SafetyQ/GCqlink.htm • Missed Lab Policy: If you miss two or more labs without an excused absence, then you will fail the lab. See our missed lab policy at: cobalt.chem.wwu.edu/labs/Other/ General Chemistry Missed Lab Policy.pdf • If Canvas is down, you can still obtain the lecture material at my web site.

  4. General Information Lecture: - SL120, 8:00 - 8:50 M T W F Attendance Required Five Wet Labs:CB 210 (1st wet lab for my lecture starts 4/15/ - 4/17/2014) - Our labs will start the 3rd week. Five labs are wet labs in CB 210 & four labs are online - note the due dates given in Sapling. - Lab requirements: Attendance, Goggles & Lab Coat (purchase both early in bookstore), Passed Safety Quiz, Access to Sapling. - Make up labs are only given for pre-arranged absences, and you must contact Dr. Dietrich, brandon.dietrich@chem.wwu.edu, 360-650- 4071, CB 270. Read our Missed Lab Policy at: cobalt.chem.wwu.edu/labs/Other/General Chemistry Missed Lab Policy.pdf- You must drop if you: miss the first wet lab; miss two labs; or fail the lab safety quiz (deadline = 12 noon Thursday, 4/10/2014). - Prelab (wet) deadlines are ~ 11:50 pm the day before your wet lab. Four Online Labs & Graded Homework: Available through Sapling. Pay attention to deadlines which are given in Canvas & Sapling. Final Exam: 1:00 – 3:00 pm; Tuesday, June 10, 2014; SL 120

  5. Laboratory Safety QuizMust drop course if do not pass before 12 noon 4/10. - A TUTORIAL, information, and the quiz are available on the Web at: cobalt.chem.wwu.edu/SafetyQ/GCqlink.htm or at www.saplinglearning.com. - The login is your student ID without the “W” and without the dash & post-dash #. Password = last two ID digits & first two letters of last name. ie for Jon Link, W00192204-11, the password = 04Li (Also use this login for post-lab questions). - You have 30 minutes to complete the lab quiz; time starts when you first enter the quiz. If you do not pass, then you can take it again; however, the passing grade is higher for the other tries. 1st try until 5pm 4/3 (80%); 2nd try 5pm 4/3 to 5pm 4/7 (84%); 3rd try 5pm 4/7 to 12 noon Thursday, 4/10 (88%). - Pass this lab safety exam well before the deadline (12 noon, Thursday, 4/10/2014) in order to remain in the class. Pass early since 1) no excuses for not passing will be accepted, & 2) you must drop if you do not pass.

  7. Hurlbut Chemistry 121 Laboratory Dates Date(Labs in CB 210)WET LABS- Prelabs due ~11:50 pm day before 4/15-4/17 - Fundamental Measurements (15 pts) 4/29-5/1-Copper Chemistry (15 pts) 5/13-5/15 - Analysis of Vinegar (15 pts) 5/27-5/29 -Types of Bonding & Chem.

  8. Homework: Two types of homework: Text (not graded) and Online (graded). Text:In the lecture notes, I suggest a group of problems to work. Finish these by the end of that lecture series and be prepared to ask any questions on these during the lecture. These will not be turned in. Online: After setting up your account at www.saplinglearning.com then you have access to the graded HW problems. You have three tries per question (loose 20% per miss). Each assignment has a firm due date, and no exceptions will be allowed; you can use one at a WWU computer lab such as CB 384 or your own if it is reliable. Start and complete each assignment well before the due date & time. There are built in helps. You also have access to a Sapling chemist if you have questions: support@saplinglearning.com

  9. Notes & Recommendations • - Review the lecture notes before each lecture. Bring a copy to lecture for note taking. Review them again shortly after the lecture. • - Read the chapter before lecture; study your lecture notes; reread the chapter; do the end-of-chapter & the graded homework. • - We will move along quickly in the class. It will be very difficult to obtain a good grade if you fall behind or if you do not attend lecture. • - Exams cover mainly lecture material; homework & lab questions are possible. There will be a quiz one or two lectures before each exam. • - No shorts, open toe shoes, or food allowed in the lab; full enclosure goggles are required. • - Master Dimensional Analysis & Equation problem solving techniques; use significant figures (SF) & show units for all problems.

  10. 121 Grading 2 Exams - 40% 2 Quizzes – 4% Final Exam - 30% Lab - 14 % HW - 12 % 100-90 A ~89-80 B ~79-70 C ~69-60 D ~59-0 F - Exam questions will cover lecture, text, and homework material. A few lab questions might be included in the tests. The questions will be approximately 70% multiple choice and 30% work out. - I will carefully review final course grades near the cut-off ranges. - Please feel free to interact with me any time about course questions. - Exam dates will be announced one to two weeks in advance – they will usually be ~ one week after we finish the corresponding chapters. - Play careful attention to the numerous deadlines in this course.

  11. Course Objectives (prefix each with : “Students will”) 1. develop an understanding of the structure of atoms and the development of modern atomic theory. 2. use the concepts of bonding and the electronic structure of the atom to predict the three-dimensional shapes and electron distributions within molecules. 3. understand the chemical behavior of ionic and molecular substances in aqueous solution. 4. use information embedded in the periodic table to predict the chemical properties and electronic structure of elements. 5. correctly use nomenclature, symbolism and vocabulary to communicate chemical ideas. 6. correctly use mathematical models and methods to describe a chemical event quantitatively.
