Chemistry: chem121  Spring 2020 Course Syllabus   NJIT Academic Integrity Code: All Students should be aware that the Department of Chemistry & Environmental Science (CES) takes the University Code on Academic Integrity at NJIT very seriously and enforces it strictly. This means that there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and exams. Under the University Code on Academic Integrity, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.

CES takes these policies very seriously and enforces them strictly. In addition, obtaining course materials such as past exams or solutions to homework and/or class assignments from external sources constitutes as cheating. The official Student’s Solutions Guide is exempt. Posting of course materials on external websites without the approval of the instructor violates intellectual property laws and hence strictly forbidden. Any student caught cheating on homework will be assessed a penalty of 20 points, in addition to a grade of zero for the given homework assignment. Students are encouraged to seek help from their Instructors during office hours. Grading Policy: The final grade in this course will be determined by a point total based on the following:  Homework (Basic HW: 60 + Regular HW 100) points 160 Class Participation (recitation + lecture) 190 Common Exam I 125 Common Exam II 125 Common Exam III 125 Final Exam 275 Total points 1000      Your final letter grade in this course will be based on the following tentative curve:   A >835 C 600-659 B+ 775-834 D 550-599 B 710-774 F < 550 C+ 660-709    You must maintain an average of 35%, which is 228 points in the common exams and finals to be considered for a grade of D or higher. You will receive an F even if you have adequate point total without this requirement.  Attendance Policy: Attendance at classes will be recorded and is mandatory. Each class is a learning experience that cannot be replicated through simply “getting the notes.”  Lecture: An I-clicker and calculator are required for all lectures. If your iclicker malfunctions, you are required to inform the instructor, either in person or via e-mail the same day. Failure to notify the instructor will result in loss of points for that day. If you are in class, but using a cell phone in any way, using a computer, or listening to music you will not get credit for that day's attendance. If you are cheating (having a second I-clicker) you and the person for whom you are cheating will get 0 for the entire semester. There are ways to check! So, be honest. In class worksheets:  You are expected to come prepared to each class period by reviewing the textbook/slides in moodle. During each class period, the instructor will ask questions and/or be given a worksheet to solve. The worksheets are collected at the end of the recitation and graded. Students who did not succeed in completing the worksheet during the recitation have one week time to complete the worksheets during office hours. Students who miss a class for a valid reason must still make up the worksheet to get credit.  Homework Policy: There are two types of homework: Basic and Regular. Total value = 160 points Basic Homework, ~60  points: It is recommended that you do the basic HW for the chapter before coming to the lecture. This homework is intended as a preparation for your participation in class. Getting > 70% in the basic homework before the lecture, will ensure you have the foundation necessary to understand what is being taught in class. Regular homework, ~100 points: This homework is to test your understanding of the material being taught. This homework will build on the classroom content and enhance your understanding of the material. This homework will also be good preparation for the common exams. All homework is very important. However, it is important that you aim to get > 90% in the basic and >70% in the regular HW to help you pass this class. Each homework assignment has it due date. In addition, Moodle has a calendar with due dates. ALL HOMEWORK MUST BE DONE ON TIME. There is no credit for late homework. DO NOT WAIT TO THE LAST MINUTE TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK. ONLINE SYSTEMS ARE NOT 100% RELIABLE AND UNEXPECTED EVENTS MAY OCCUR.  IN GENERAL, THERE IS NO LATE HOMEWORK AND MOODLE BEING DOWN IS NOT A VALID EXCUSE. PLAN TO FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK AT LEAST ONE DAY BEFORE IT IS DUE.  Exams: There will be three midterm exams held in class during the semester and one comprehensive final exam. The following exam periods are tentative and therefore possibly subject to change:    Common Exam I Monday 4:30 - 5:45pm – 2/17/20 Monday 4:30 - 5:45pm – 10/22/18 Monday 4:30 - 5:45pm – 11/12/18 Common Exam II Monday 4:30 - 5:45pm – 3/23/20  Common Exam III Monday 4:30 - 5:45pm – 4/20/20  Reading Days May 6th to 7th  Final Exam Period  May 8th to 14th     The final exam will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course.     TEST GRADING ERROR. Tests are returned in recitations following the test. If you believe there is an error, you have until the Thursday following the test to submit a test for regrading. You must write a very brief description of the problem on the back of the test. (The answer key is provided in Moodle in the TEST INFORMATION book. You should always learn from your mistakes and go over the answer key.) ALL ERRORS NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE INSTRUCTOR'S ATTENTION WHEN THEY OCCUR. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE SEMESTER  Makeup Exam Policy: There will normally be NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES OR EXAMS during the semester. In the event that a student has a legitimate reason for missing a quiz or exam, the student should contact the Dean of Students office and present written verifiable proof of the reason for missing the exam, e.g., a doctor’s note, police report, court notice, etc. clearly stating the date AND time of the mitigating problem. The student must also notify the CES Department Office/Instructor that the exam will be missed. One cumulative make-up examination will be permitted at the end of the semester if there is an acceptable and substantial reason. A grade of zero will be given for a second missed examination independent of reason. Tentative date of the makeup exam is May 7th at 7.00 am.  Cellular Phones: All cellular phones and other electronic devices must be switched off during all class times. Such devices must be stowed in bags during exams or quizzes.   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES  Chemistry Tutoring Center: Located in the Central King Building, Lower Level, Rm. G12. Students can get help from peer tutors on a “walk-in” basis. There is no private tutoring available, however if the center is not too busy, you may be able to get more personal attention. In this peer tutoring model, tutors are taught to encourage interaction among students to promote learning.  Hours of operation are Monday – Friday 10:00 am - 6:00 pm.
