Madigan et al., 2014 [eligible for book buyback]Performance- 450 points are possible in the course from three 100-point exams, and a 150-point final (100 points comprehensive + 50 points from the last few lectures). The final exam covers material included in previous exams. Make-up exams are available only for excused and documented absences. Performance will be evaluated by a classical grading system of: A (90-100%); B (80-89%); C (70-79%); D (60-69%); F (<60%).Preparation- Reading assigned material in advance and attending class is highly recommended, as notes are the main source of test questions. College Chemistry (CFIEM161N-162N) is a prerequisite for this course. Cell and Molecular Biology (BIOL221) and Organic Chemistry (CFIEM221) are prerequisites or co-requisites. If you have not taken these courses you must get the instructor’s approval.Accommodations to ensure accessibility of students with disabilities will be gladly made, but to qualify you must be registered with Disability Services for Students (DSS). Arrangements for accommodations on exams must be made in advance by the student.Academic misconduct will be reported and handled as described in UM’s Student Conduct Code. All students must practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by the University. All students need to be familiar with the Student Conduct Code. The Code is available for review online at: http://www.umt.edu/vpsa/policies/student conduct.phpDropping course or changing the grading status will strictly follow UM policies and procedures, which are described in the catalog. Students should note that they cannot change to an audit after the 15th day of instruction. In addition, dropping the course or changing the grading status (to CR/NCR) are not automatically approved after the 30th day of the semester; these may be requested by petition, but the petition must be accompanied by documentation of extenuating circumstances. Requests to drop the course or change the grading status to benefit a student's grade point average will not be approved.Cell phones and similar devices must be turned off during class. Disruption of class by ringing cell phones may result in the loss of points.COURSE SCHEDULE- (tentative, flexible and highly optimistic):Date Chapt.
