COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is for science and science-related majors. It introducesthe
fundamental classes of organic (carbon) compounds, and begins the
study of aliphatic and aromatic compounds, including nomenclature,
structure and isomerism, stereochemistry, types of reactions, common
mechanisms and syntheses. Lab includes synthesis, purification by
distillation, extraction, recrystallization and chromatography, and
identification by physical and chemical means and may include
spectroscopic identification. (3 Lec., 4 Lab.)

COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objective of the study of a life and physical sciences component of the core curriculum is the focus on
describing, explaining, and predicting natural phenomena using scientific method. Courses involve the
understanding of interactions among natural phenomena and the implications of scientific principles on the
physical world and on human experiences.

Required Core Objectives for Chemistry are as follows:

● Critical Thinking
● Communication
● Empirical and Quantitative Skills
● Teamwork

For 2014-2015, Chemistry will evaluate and assess the following Core Objectives:

● Critical Thinking

COURSE OUTLINE
Instructor Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to attend all classes. Students have the responsibility to attend class and to consult with
the instructor when an absence occurs. If for some reason you must leave class early, you should inform the
instructor prior to the start of class of your reason for leaving early.

Students must begin attendance in all classes of enrollment. No exceptions. Financial Aid will not be granted
to students who have been certified as not attending, by the certification date. For this lecture course, your
physical participation in class, on or before the certification date will allow you to receive credit for FA
purposes. For certification dates, check with the division or FAO for further information. Students, who are not
certified as beginning class, are responsible for any payments due as a result of non-certification, to include
the dropping of courses.

ASSESSMENT

The final grade for the course is based on the grade scale shown above.
There are no exceptions to this grade scale.

The total points are based on the following:

40.0 pts EXAMS

24.0 pts LAB REPORTS
6.0 pts LAB FINAL/ SAFETY QUIZ (1% OUT OF 6)
10.0 pts QUIZZES
5.0 pts HOMEWORK

LAB
All students must score 70% on lab safety exam. If score is less than 70%, student must retake
safety exam. No student will be allowed to work in the lab unless 70% mastery is achieved. Labs
for Excel graphing will be specially assessed to test your graphing ability. A mastery of 60% or
above is acceptable and the paradigm

LAB FINAL EXAM

Questions will be specifically assessed to determine your laboratory knowledge, one of which will
be on Excel graphing exercise. A mastery of 60% or above is acceptable and the paradigm.

Individual project
Every student is assigned a project to be turned in or conveyed before the end of course. Students will also be
assigned to cooperative learning groups and special project assigned to be turned in as a group project.

Grades will be assessed on basis of creativity, originality, neatness and accuracy with an
assessment form administered by the Chemistry department. A mastery of 60% or above is
 acceptable and the paradigm.

D <64.9 TO 59.5
F <59.5 TO 0
Academic Dishonesty: (edit if needed)
Students that caught plagiarizing an assignment will be subject to an “F” in the course and possible expulsion from
the college.

Academic honesty is expected, and integrity is valued in the Dallas County Community Colleges. Scholastic
dishonesty is a violation of the Code of Student Conduct. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to,
cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. As a college student, you are considered a responsible adult. Your
enrollment indicates acceptance of the DCCCD Code of Student Conduct published in the DCCCD Catalog. More
information is available at https://www1.dcccd.edu/catalog/ss/code.cfm.

Repeating This Course:

Effective for Fall Semester 2005, the Dallas County Community Colleges will charge additional tuition to students registering the
third or subsequent time for a course. This class may/may not be repeated for the third or subsequent time without paying the
additional tuition. Third attempts include courses taken at any of the Dallas County Community Colleges since the Fall 2002
semester. More information is available at: https://www1.dcccd.edu/cat0506/ss/oep/third_attempt.cfm

STOP BEFORE YOU DROP

For students who enrolled in college level courses for the first time in the fall of 2007, Texas Education Code 51.907 limits the
number of courses a student may drop. You may drop no more than 6 courses during your entire undergraduate career unless
the drop qualifies as an exception. Your campus counseling/advising center will give you more information on the allowable
exceptions. Remember that once you have accumulated 6 non-exempt drops, you cannot drop any other courses with a “W”.
Therefore, please exercise caution when dropping courses in any Texas public institution of higher learning, including all seven
of the Dallas County Community Colleges. For more information, you may access:
https://www1.dcccd.edu/coursedrops

Financial Aid:
If you are receiving financial aid grants or loans, you must begin attendance in all classes. Do not drop or stop attending any
class without consulting the Financial Aid Office. Changes in your enrollment level and failing grades may require that you repay
financial aid funds. For further information, please contact Financial Aid at 214-860-8688, 8834, or 8826.

The Texas Success Initiative (TSI):

The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a statewide program designed to ensure that students enrolled in Texas public colleges and
universities have the basic academic skills needed to be successful in college-level course work. The TSI requires assessment,
remediation (if necessary), and advising of students who attend a public college or university in the state of Texas. The program
assesses a student's basic academic skills in reading, writing, and math. Passing the assessment is a prerequisite for enrollment
in many college level classes. Students who do not meet assessment standards may complete prerequisite requirements by
taking developmental courses in the deficient area and passing them with a grade of C or higher. Additional information is
available at
https://www1.dcccd.edu/cat0506/admiss/tsi_requirements.cfm

Academic Honesty:
Academic honesty is expected, and integrity is valued in the Dallas County Community Colleges. Scholastic dishonesty is a
violation of the Code of Student Conduct. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism,
and collusion. As a college student, you are considered a responsible adult. Your enrollment indicates acceptance of the DCCCD
Code of Student Conduct published in the DCCCD Online Catalog. More information is available at
https://www1.dcccd.edu/cat0406/ss/code.cfm

ADA Statement:

I will read the syllabus and ask questions on subjects that need further clarification. I understand that this

syllabus is a contractual agreement, and accept this syllabus as a contract subject to change, and, if changes are

made, my professor will give me prior notice in the form of oral or written communication in class. I will also

refer to this syllabus when I have questions about grades and extracurricular projects. I understand that it is my

responsibility to drop this course, after consulting my professor. I will consciously make an effort to turn off my

cell phone before every lecture. I also understand that lab safety is my responsibility and will come prepared for

lab with proper equipment. I understand that if I am not properly prepared for lab, that I will be asked to leave

and receive a zero for that lab. I also understand that any violation of the rules that are written and/or orally

communicated for lecture and/or laboratory could result in disciplinary action.
