SYLLABUS
The prerequisite for General Chemistry II is General Chemistry I, Chem 111.
The basis for course grades is determined by examinations, graded homework, and laboratory. Points for each are:
Three hour exams (100 points each): 300 points
Comprehensive final exam: 150 points
Homework 100 points
Total Points: 650 points
Letter grade ranges on a percentage basis are:
A 90.0 – 100% C- 67.0 – 69.9%
A- 87.0 – 89.9% D+ 64.0 – 66.9%
B+ 84.0 – 86.9% D 60.0 – 63.9%
B 80.0 – 83.9% D- 57.0 – 59.9%
B- 77.0 – 79.9% E Below 57%
C+ 74.0 – 76.9%
C 70.0 – 73.9%
Exams will be held on
the following Thursday evenings from
Feb. 14, Mar 20, April 30
If you miss an examination because of circumstances beyond your control, please inform the instructor immediately. A make-up examination will be scheduled for as soon as possible. The instructor must be notified before or during the examination time.
OWL HOMEWORK

LABORATORY
The laboratory work is an integral and essential part of
this course and will represent a significant factor in your final grade (see
above). Normally, you will not be granted credit for this course unless you
satisfactorily complete the laboratory work; however, if you have taken the
course previously at SUCO and completed the laboratory work, a waiver may be granted. If you think that you
might qualify for such a waiver, discuss your situation with the lecture
instructor as soon as possible.
You will be expected to attend every scheduled meeting of your laboratory
section. If you are forced to miss one of the labs due to circumstances beyond
your control, the instructor will attempt to arrange for you to attend some
other laboratory section during the same week. If it is impossible to
reschedule the experiment you should discuss methods of making up the work with
your instructor.
Students will not be permitted to work in any laboratory section other than that for which they are scheduled. Students must not work in the laboratory with direct faculty supervision.
Unless you are informed otherwise, laboratory reports will be due the first
lecture meeting after the completion of the experiment.
In order to protect your vision you will be required to wear safety glasses
while you are in the laboratory. If you violate this rule you become a hazard
to yourself as well as those around you. Therefore, you may be asked to leave
the laboratory if you do not wear safety glasses.
Laboratory reports are to represent your own original work. You will sometimes
work with other students to collect data, but your written report, including
calculations must be your own work.
