Attendance:

The instructor will ask each student to give his or her word that they will attend every class.   Attendance is a must.  Reading, homework assignments, and group assignments should be completed before coming to each class. Either on-line quizzes or short in-class quizzes will pretest sections of each exam covering the daily assignments..   Students missing more than two classes during the term must see the instructor outside of class time to investigate alternatives for the student.  Chemistry is very sequential: what you learn today will be used tomorrow.  Absent students forfeit the right to make-up the pretest quizzes.  After the second absence 30 additional points will deducted for each absence in excess of two.   Students will makeup the 30 points by assisting in the video production and/or CBT/HTML test preparation (at least four hours per session missed).  Students absent from class are expected to contact a member of his/her cooperative group prior to the next class to determine what was missed.   One student will, volunteer to be attendance monitor, circulate a roll sheet, collect the roll sheet at the end of the class, and enter the daily attendance in the Attendance Log.  That person will alert the instructor and the phone network when a student misses two classes in succession.  The Final Grade will include 300 points for attendance (30 classes), 10 pt for each class. 

Student absent should consult for weekly posting:

Final Exam

The final exam is not optional.  It will be between 90-150 questions if instructor made or 60-75 questions if it is the standard American Chemical Society General Chemistry Exam. The answer sheet will be scored in sub-unit scores to correlate to the Units covered in the course. The Final counts as two modular test scores. The multiple choice section of a module is a mini-test of the final.  Samples of previous final exams may be found at:

http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/services/faculty/john_taylor/chm1046/46wkmenu.html

 

         Take Home Final Exam

             During the last two weeks of school the students will complete a take home final which will count as ˝ point per question and the total will be added to the in-class portion of the test.  Student may work on the test in their study groups or worked individually

 

 

Final Exam Challenge:

If a student scores a higher % on the final exam then the grade earned through the total points assigned, then the Final Exam score will constitute the final grade average. If the student needs to make up an entire Modular Exam or has a low modular exam score, then the student may replace that score with the higher modular exam score for that section of the Final. Students who do not fill out the final exam form, counting the Scantron sub-sections, inserting the data calculating the percentages, will not have the Individual Modular score replaced.  The instructor will not drop the lowest exam score during the course.

 

CHM 1046 Practice Final Exam:

 

During the last week of school during the final lab meeting (Wednesday-May 3),  all students will complete the practice final exam (Fall Term 1998 Final) during the last scheduled lab section (No lab activities scheduled).  The exam will be closed book in the computer center and may be taken with you lab partner.  It will be interactive allowing you to change answers after initial scoring.  Each individual or cooperative group will submit one practice final section for each module completed during the course.  If taken in a group both students will receive the same grade for the practice final (1/2 point for each question answered correctly).

  

CHM 1046 Chemical Bonding Misconceptions & Assessment Tests

 

During the first week all student must take the 15 question:  Chemical Bonding Misconceptions Test(CBMT) and 30 question: the Chemical Bonding Assessment Test(CBAT). Each question of the CBMT is divided into two parts, first the question, then the reason for giving the first answer.  It is a pre-assessment of chemistry bonding skills from Chapter 8-9. The CBAT will require a Scantron.  Both will be taken in the computer, testing center or chemistry lab the week of  1/6-1/14 .  Students not registered for the mandatory Corequisite lab, must schedule at least one half hour of lab time to complete the test. If the test is not available in the computer lab, then a hard copy of the test will be administered in the chemistry lab and/or placed in the test center or administered from the instructor’s office in BSCI 207. Completion of the CBMT is worth 30 points toward the student’s final grade and the CBAT 30 points.

 

Pretest Quizzes-Grading Outline:

Pre-lecture quizzes will be taken from 12:15-12:30 or 1:45-2:00 on Monday or Wednesdays.   Sample modular exams will be provided the students during presentation of the unit.  Each modular exam is broken down into sub-sections with specific assigned points as described in the Grading Outline.  From time to time the points will be adjusted, usually on the multiple choice section of the module.  Some of the sections will be pre-tested during the 20 minutes prior to class or immediately after class.  If the score on the quiz is satisfactory, then the student will attach the quiz to the exam and skip that section on the exam.  Quiz scores are not recorded and count only if the student chooses to utilize the score.  On some mathematical application sections (or those designated by the instructor)  may be post tested if that problem is missed on the exam.  The multiple choice, definitions, properties, and discussion sections may NOT be post tested after the exam.  The improved post test score may replace that section of the exam if the student provides to cover sheet of the exam to the instructor so that the improvement may be added to the grade.

 

Study Groups/Phone Network/Lab Partner:

         On the first or second  day of class each student will complete a Data Card, Interview a peer, and introduce that peer to the class. From these exercises and the learning styles inventory;  study groups, a phone network, and lab partners need to be established. BSCI 204 or BSCI 202 should be utilized a study areas as well as the chemistry tutor area: BSCI 207 (on-duty hours posted in 207). Each week volunteers will be appreciated to assist in the group operation of the class. The first personal assistant volunteer will prepare a matrix with each student’s free study time so that study groups may begin to be formed the second week of school. The phone network will be established so that in case of emergencies by the instructor each student will be responsible to call two other students in the network to alert the student of the emergency so that information may be distributed prior to the next scheduled class.

 

Makeup Exams

Students absent from an exam should report to the test center to make-up the test as soon as possible.  The exam may be made-up until the exams are returned to the class (usually after a weekend), then the test is void.  Students who are ill or not prepared for the exam should not sit for the exam during the scheduled time but must complete the exam within two days of return to class.

Page 4 CHM 1046 syllabus

Cooperative Homework/Group Work

Cooperative Learning Groups of two (or three) students will meet at the end of each lab session (or Monday afternoon 1:45-3:00).  This group will consist of lab partners (and possibly a third unpaired person).   The group may meet in BSCI 207 study area. The group must complete the grading of assigned homework for the week.   The group will record all scores in the Group’s Folder.  Folders are kept in a drawer in the instructor’s desk in BSCI 202.  If a group can not function in the above time frame, then they must complete the Group work immediately after lab on that day.  All homework may be submitted immediately following a modular exam in the group’s folder. Those registered for the night lab or not registered for the lab, will form distinct learning groups.  These groups will utilize scheduled free time and must meet at least once a week and complete the tasks by Wednesday class time.

One person in the group or the group sharing equally should purchase the supplemental Solutions Manual available in the bookstore.  The group will check all required homework from the previous week.  The odd number of problems are in the Solutions Manual.  The instructor will provide a set of solutions for both the odd and the even numbered problems for circulation to the groups when even number problems are assigned.  The textbook and handout assignments will count up to 10 to 20 points per week per person.

            Groups are discouraged to allow a person in the group to freeload off the other members of the group, but the instructor will not interfere with group decisions even when one person is copying another person’s work at the last minute.   Homework must be done NEATLY in an organized fashion with problem numbers and textbook page numbers.  Each student’s work will be stapled together and included the group’s folder

 A person may be removed from a group by request in writing to the instructor by the other member(s) of the group. Each person must sign the request and state why they want the person removed. That person removed will be required to work alone until a second person is ejected from another group. The two persons removed will be combined to constitute a new group, etc.

           

 Camera Person (Optional):

Students voluntarily will share the responsibility to operate one or two video cameras during lecture and/or demonstration portions of the class. The 8 mm tape will be transferred to VHS format by the students.  The students on a volunteer basis may edit the tape with the assistance of the instructor using the equipment in the instructor’s office or BHUM 204. Students earn 10 bonus points for  this video experience and an additional 30 points for the lab for editing the tapes.   (Note editing takes several hours per tape).   If students do not feel the need for video, the recordings of classes will not be made.  The tape will be placed in the Library for student use outside of class time.  Students may also dub copies of the tape(s) provided they provide their own blank tape and actually use the dubbing equipment made available by the instructor.

 

Video of the Week:

Each week the instructor may select a video to be shown in the class from the HCC owned World of Chemistry series. Sometimes, the student will be assigned to see the assigned video in the library after completion of lab for the week.  The cooperative group will answer a short quiz on the video prepared by the chemistry test masters for the week.

 

Master Student Exercises (text optional):

The instructor understands that the average attention span for a student listening to a lecture is less than 20 minutes.   Each class is 75 minutes.   Generally, the instructor will attempt to cover the lecture topic is short sound bites 15-20 minutes in length.

Also the instructor will incorporate exercises from the Becoming a Master Student program.  The $25 text sold at the Ybor bookstore (REA 1605 or SLS 1501) is one of the best investments a college student may make.   The Discovery Wheel and Learning Styles Inventory are both assessments from the Master Student text.  The instructor and/or student groups may use exercises from the program to break-up the lecture and expose the student general learning principles.  Most instructors use story telling, group exercises, problem solving examples, etc to break-up a long lecture so as to shift-gears. 

The instructor’s experience is that we math and science folks just go on-and-on-and-on, which research shows is successful with 35 to 40% of the students.   These students need to understand the problem with the other 65% who are struggling.   Many times, athletes are mislabeled dumb jocks when they are excellent kinesthetic learners and go absolutely crazy after 10 minutes of a traditional transmission science lecture.  All students need to know their best learning style (auditory, visual, kinesthetic, mixed modality) and find strategies to succeed in experiences not presented in their preferred learning style.  Go back to high school, which homework did you attempt first, why?  Did you put-off those dreaded subjects to last, why?

The instructor will distribute hard copies of a learning style inventory the first class period. The student will complete the form and submit a copy of the results to the instructor by the second class.   An alternative to the hard copy learning style is the Behavioral Analysis Self Rating Form that is used at VPI and is available at the following URL:

                http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~cs3604/support/Groups/Activity.html

 

Master Student Discovery and Intention Journal Entry System

      One way to become a better student is to use the Discovery and Intention Journal Entry System to increase your effectiveness with the least possible struggle.    It is a way to focus your energy, and it is closely related to the idea of taking a First Step such as the First Step in Alcoholics Anonymous.  Alcoholics must tell the truth about their drinking before they can begin to change.   Students must admit to their strengths and weaknesses before they can take action.   Students may first use a paper and pencil journal (notebook), but by the third or fourth week journal activities should be electronic word processing documents which may be E-mailed to the instructor.

        Through Discovery Statements, the student can learn where he or she is.   They are a record of what you learn about yourself as a student-both strengths and weaknesses.   Discovery Statements can also be declarations of what you want, descriptions of your attitudes, statements of your feelings, transcripts of your thoughts, and chronicles of your behavior.

          Intention Statements can be used to alter your course.   They are statements of your commitment to do a specific task, to take a specific action.   An intention arises out of your choice to direct your energy toward a particular goal.

         The following are the seven guidelines for Discovery and Intention Statements:

Discovery Statements:                                     Intention Statements:

1. Discover what you want.                                             1. Make you intentions positive.(never use try)(use do)

2. Record the specifics.                                                  2. Make intentions small and keep able.

3. Notice your inter voices and pictures.                           3. Use observation criteria for success.

4. Notice physical sensations.                                        4. Set time lines.

5. Use discomfort as a signal.                                         5. Be careful of intentions that depend on others.

6. Suspend self-judgement.(be kind)                                6. Anticipate self-sabotage.

7. Tell the truth.                                                             7. Identify your rewards.

The Discovery Wheel is a giant first step to tell the truth about yourself. It is not a test, it is a self assessment. Students completing a discovery wheel in CHM 1045 or CHM 1025 may do another wheel or resubmit their copy from previous terms.  Students may complete and print-out their discovery wheels using the Internet at the following URL:

 http://www.hmco.com/hmco/college/success/students/wheel.html

 

Muddy Water Issues:

    Each day, students will email the week’s muddiest water issue or include statements in the Muddy Water text entry box on the Web after the on-line quizzes.   What was confusing?  What do you not understand?  What problems at the end of the chapter overwhelm you?

 

Free Time:

       Chemistry takes a lot of time to study.  Each student should identify at least 10 hours or more per week of free time that he/she will commit towards his/her study of chemistry.  The following are suggested strategies for scheduling your study times.  Make an hour by hour, seven day matrix 8 columns (hour and each day of the week) by 24 lines (representing each hour). Upon request the instructor will provide the student with a hard copy blank form. 

 

Starting with wake-up and end with sleeping:

1. Schedule fixed blocks of time first. These include work, class time, eating, and sleeping.

2. Include time for travel and errands

3. Schedule time for fun.

4. Set realistic goals.

5. Allow flexibility in your schedule.

6. Study at least two hours for every hour in class plus an extra two for computer assignments in the open lab and an extra two with a cooperative group member for homework comparison and checking.

7. Avoid scheduling marathon study sessions.

8. Set clear starting and stopping times.

9. Plan for the Unplanned!

 

A simple time planner is available at the following Student Success Site:

http://www.hmco.com/hmco/college/success/students/timechart.html

 

Students will submit a hard copy of the free time chart to the instructor by the beginning of the second week.

 

 

Chemistry and the World Wide Web:

In addition to accessing the instructor through the CHM 1046 home page or student-to-faculty E-Mail, students are expected to surf the World Wide Web for answers to chemistry questions posed as research topics for short discussion feedback to the instructor through e-mail.  The question(s) for the unit may be posed at the end of the weekly menu as well as answers to muddy water issues submitted the previous week. The student will write the answers using a word processor, including the URL links.  The student will include in his/her personal journal comments about visited chemistry web sites and make recommendations on the construction of similar pages on the web for improvement in presenting additional chemistry topics in CHM 1046.  Obtaining an e-mail account and submission of the student’s first e-mail message is worth 30 points toward the student final grade.

 

As a suggestion for learning to use Internet Search Engines, conduct a key word search on the topic: neurophone.  (What is it?  Write a 50 word abstract to the answer to this question for Week 2).   Next the student should search periodic chart and evaluate the sites discovered, book mark the best sites, and provide the answer to element in question posed by the instructor for week 3. Students will earn 10 points per week on their homework/group scores for Internet activities as assigned by the instructor.  Access the following URL for some chemistry sites:   http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/services/faculty/john_taylor/chm1045/chemlink.html

 

Student with computer literacy backgrounds (preferably one member of each group) will help their group be the week test masters to assist the instructor in posting sample tests on the CHM 1046 web site.

 

Test Masters: Toolbook CBT/II and JavaScript/HTML Daily Quizzes(optional):

 

After the first few weeks, the students may prepare the daily quizzes using the CBT edition of Toolbook or a JavaScript/HTML template under the supervision and assistance of the instructor. (The instructor will give the preparer a hard copy of the quiz or a sample to be computerized).   Each quiz will follow the grading sheet format and sample quiz.  The quiz will use CBT Question widgets or the text and answers will be typed into the template.  The quizzes are closed book/notes, and must be completed by the cooperative group without assistance from other class peers. The authors of the quizzes will receive full credit for that quiz section, but must log on the system and take the quiz to enter his/her scores into the Course Management System or send the instructor an Internet E-Mail with the results.

If CBT/HTML quizzes are not prepared or available in BTECH 203a/BACA 216/214 or BSCI 115, then hard copy quizzes will be administered either 10 minutes prior to class, at the end of class, Tuesday /Thursday or at another time agreed by the majority of the class.  Some of these quizzes will serve as pretest sections of a Modular exam, some will count separately under the homework/quiz section as noted in the grading sheet.

Scored pretest quizzes are NOT recorded in the instructor’s grade book, but must be attached to the Modular Exam the day of the exam to receive/substitute the grade (if not CBT).  The instructor only records Module Exam totals and the Final in his grade book. Cooperative homework is scored and kept by the group and submitted to the instructor the last week of school.

 

Grading Scale:

The following is a guarantee of a grade based on percentages of point accumulated during the term.

A = 90% or more (outstanding/excellent)

B = 80-89 % (above average/good)

C = 65-79 % (average)

D = 50-64 % (below average/poor)

 

Grade Review:

         See Grading Sheet (distributed separately) for a point by point summary of the course. It also serves as a Course outline, indicating sections of the text being covered on each exam. Link the URL:

http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/services/faculty/john_taylor/chm1046/46grdS00.html

 

Instructor’s Right to Change or Modify Grading Procedures:

 

The instructor reserves the right to modify or change the grading progress as the course proceeds. Any additional course assignments will substitute for deleted items.  Some may also be modified if not deleted.  The instructor will not add major examinations as a modification.   The instructor reserves the right to reassign work to students if the instructor senses the work submitted is not the work of the student. (No questions asked-The instructor may tell the student to resubmit the work to earn the daily quiz grade or examination grade or may sign a zero if second request is made).

From time to time, the point values outlined in the grading sheet may be modified.

 

Instructor Requested Information:

 

On the first day of class, the student will fill out a 4x6 (or 3x5) file card to give to the instructor at the end of class or complete and on-line form the first day in the computer lab. The instructor has provided a sample below with his personal data and his block scheduled time.  The completion of this card is worth 20 points toward the students final grade
