Syllabus This unit is an introduction to the fundamental nature of matter for students who have not previously studied chemistry. Students who have passed WACE Chemistry 3A/3B or equivalent should instead take CHEM1000 Principles and Processes in Chemistry or CHEM1001 Biological Chemistry. A range of chemical processes that underpin a broad array of disciplines will illustrate the importance of and differences between chemical and mathematical representations of reactions and reactivity. The physical phenomena resulting from bond types and their resulting intermolecular forces will explain the properties of natural and man-made processes and materials. Using examples from nature and biology the role of the certain groups in ascribing reactivity and function of organic molecules will be highlighted.

Introduction Welcome to Introduction to Chemistry, a foundation unit in a number of courses at Curtin University. Chemistry is a central science necessary to fully understand a number of disciplines. This unit prepares students without a solid background with sufficient chemical knowledge to successfully undertake their chosen course.

This Unit Outline contains information about the unit, including the learning activities and their purpose, the topics to be covered, the assessments tasks required and their due dates, and the overall program calendar. Please read it carefully at the start of semester and refer to it as you go. Key information will also be kept updated on Blackboard.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Location: Building: 500 - Room: 2103

Learning Management System: Blackboard (lms.curtin.edu.au)

On successful completion of this unit students can:Graduate Attributes addressed

1 Use an atomic-scale approach to observe the main types of bonds formed in molecules, the intermolecular forces found between molecules and their resulting physical properties

2 Employ the principles of chemical measurement to both quantitatively and qualitatively determine chemical species in simple samples

3 Discern between chemical and physical processes and utilise recognised mathematical and symbolic representations to quantitatively and qualitatively describe a chemical reaction

Learning Activities The learning activities in this unit are integrated and designed to work together to help you excel in this unit and your future studies by presenting both a process for study as well as the unit material. Check the program calendar at the end of the unit outline for guidance on the schedule of activities in this unit.

1. Every face-to-face class requires some level of preparation before you come.

l For lectures you should download lecture slides, and read the relevant sections of yourtextbook. l For workshops you should watch the short snapshot lecture, download and print the activities, complete any

pre-workshop activities, and check in with your team to make sure you’re good to go. l For laboratories, you should review the relevant workshop and lecture resources, read the lab manual carefully,

complete any pre-lab questions, and make sure you’re wearing enclosed shoes and have your lab coat and safety glasses on the day of your experiment.

2. Come to class prepared to actively participate in your learning, ensuring that you maximise your learning by engaging fully and professionally with others. All lectures, workshops, and laboratories are intended to be interactive.

3. Spend some time reflecting after each class, to consolidate your understanding.

l For lectures you should revise the notes and review the textbook. l For workshops you should attempt the homework problems, complete quizzes (odd numbered workshops),

and seek additional feedback to clarify your understanding. l For laboratories you should review the problems you’ve encountered and make connections to the lecture and

workshop materials.

There is an expectation that this unit requires a time commitment of 150 hours over the whole semester (including tuition free periods, study week and university exam period). This equates to roughly 10 hours each week of the semester, comprising timetabled contact (lectures, workshops and laboratories), assessment (in-class, after class, and exam) and private study (preparation, reflection and completion of activities). We strongly recommend that you maximise your potential for success by scheduling ample time for preparation and reflection before and after each activity.

Laboratories

Please ensure that you bring your Student ID card with you when you attend laboratory sessions. You will not be allowed to enter without the ID card. Alternative modes of identification (drivers licence, SmartRider etc.) will NOT be accepted.

Make sure you are present promptly at the beginning of the laboratory session as vital health and saftey information is provided at this time and failure to attend may place you or others at risk of injury. You may be barred from entry for being late and missing this vital information or for failure to follow health and safety advice.

Your laboratory schedule will vary depending on your registered class. Your class registrations are done through eStudent via OASIS. Check OASIS for your personalized timetable and to identify the class number for your science laboratory to ensure you are attending at the right day, time and week. The experimental schedule by class number can be found in the program calendar at the end of this unit outline.

Piazza

Piazza is a Q&A platform designed to get you great answers from classmates and instructors fast. We've put together this list of tips you might find handy as you get started:

1. Ask questions!

The best way to get answers is to ask questions. Ask questions on Piazza rather than emailing your teaching staff so everyone can benefit from the response (and so you can get answers from classmates who are up as late as you are).

2. Edit questions and answers wiki-style.

Think of Piazza as a Q&A wiki for your class. Every question has just a single students' answer that students can edit collectively (and a single instructors’ answer for instructors).

3. Add a follow-up to comment or ask further questions.

To comment on or ask further questions about a post, start a follow-up discussion. Mark it resolved when the issue has been addressed, and add any relevant information back into the Q&A above.

4. Go anonymous.

Shy? No problem. You can always opt to post or edit anonymously to your classmates.

5. Tag your posts.

It's far more convenient to find all posts about your Workshop 3 or Lecture 1 when the posts are tagged. Type a “#” before a key word to tag. Click a blue tag in a post or the question feed to filter for all posts that share that tag.

6. Format code and equations.

Adding a code snippet? Click the pre or tt button in the question editor to add pre-formatted or inline teletype text. Mathematical equation? Click the Fx button to access the LaTeX editor to build a nicely formatted equation.

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Poster (Prezi) presentation Your task is to prepare a presentation on an element that focuses on one of four areas of interest relevant to your studies. You will use Prezi, an online presentation tool, to create and share this presentation. Prezi allows you to prepare and present information, including text, video, images and audio in an engaging non-linear format. To accompany your presentation, you must answer a short quiz that asks for information about your presentation, why you selected the context, and how you chose the information you presents. 1.1 Element You will be randomly assigned an element from the periodic table. This element should be the focus of your presentation. You should include basic information about this element in your presentation (symbol, name, atomic number and mass number, atomic structure, location in the periodic table) before putting the element into context.

1.2 Context You will be asked to pick a context of relevance or interest to you. You must then undertake research about this element with this context in mind. The four contexts are: • The function of this element in life, which may include its role in biological function, nutrition or toxicity in any animal or plant. • The role of this element in minerals and materials, which may include its natural origins in geological or aquatic systems, processing to extract and/or refine the element, or uses of the element in any material. • The fate of this element in the environment, which may include natural or human sources, cycling or recycling of the element in nature, or beneficial or detrimental consequences of its presence. • The origins of this element in the universe, which may include its formation in nucleosynthesis or its role in the nucleosynthesis of other elements, or its relative abundance, importance or rarity in forming any astronomical object.

You must focus on the role of this element at the atomic scale, but the element may be in any form (atomic, molecular or ionic) and you may briefly consider other scales to aid your description.

1.3 What will I submit? You will be asked to submit a link to your Prezi and answer the following questions in a short online quiz. The total word limit for this section is 500 words.

a. What is the link to your Prezi? Paste your link as instructed in the video provided. b. What is your element, including its symbol, name, atomic number and mass number, atomic structure, location in the periodic table? Be brief and avoid including any figures otherwise included in the Prezi. [Limit: 100 words] c. What is your context and why did you choose it? Make sure you explain how this was interesting or relevant to you. [Limit: 200 words] d. What is the function, role, fate or origin of this element in this context? Be brief and only include information to explain your Prezi presentation. [Limit: 200 words]

This quiz requires you to type or paste your responses. You should read all instructions provided on Blackboard and ensure you submit your work well in advance of the deadline.

1.4 How will I be assessed? Your assessment will comprise two components that will add up to a total mark out of 10 (representing 10% of your final grade). a. Teacher assessment. Your teaching staff will assess the presentation and abstract using a rubric provided on Blackboard. You will be given a total mark out of 7.5. b. Peer assessment. You will receive a random selection of other students’ work that you must review and assess using criteria provided. Your peers will view and assess your work using the same criteria. Your teaching staff will moderate and average the peer assessment of your work to arrive at a mark out of 2.5. To receive your peer mark you must successfully mark the work of your peers by the deadline.

1.5 Timeline • Element allocated: week commencing 20 March • Prezi quiz: Monday, 24 April by 5pm via the submission link on Blackboard, which will be available until 11.59pm that evening to allow for any last minute technical difficulties. Submission received after this time cannot be accepted under any circumstances. • Peer assessment: Monday, 22 May by 5pm via the same submission link on Blackboard. Late submissions cannot be accepted under any circumstances.

2. Workshop Portfolio

A portfolio of work chosen to best represent development of key concepts from the workshop learning activities. The tasks accompanying the assessment item will be posted each week to Blackboard. There are two types of assessments that will be alternated each week as per the program calendar:

l To assess even numbered workshops (2, 4, 6 etc) you will receive a short assessment task related to the workshop activities that you will complete within your group and submit to the facilitator at the end of each workshop. Your group will receive a mark out of 10 against a rubric accompanying the task. The assessment task can only be completed and submitted during your scheduled workshop.

l To assess odd numbered workshops (1, 3, 5 etc) you will receive a mark of up to 5 out of 10 for participation during the workshop based on your facilitator’s observations of your group work. After the workshop an online quiz related to the task will be available via Blackboard. You must individually complete this quiz after the workshop to receive up to an additional 5 out of 10 marks. You can find instructions for each quiz and the group work rubric on Blackboard.

The final portfolio and its accompanying mark will be chosen from the best 10 pieces of work to arrive at a mark out of 100.

3. Laboratory Test

A test of key skills chosen from a series of experiments that demonstrate an understanding of one or more of the learning outcomes. This test will be open book and the information will be posted on Blackboard seven days before the class. This assessment task can only be completed during the scheduled laboratory class.

Information about the laboratory test will be available via Blackboard at least one week before the test.

Important: It is a requirement that students gain at least 50% of the available marks to pass this unit. Students who do not gain at least 50% of the available marks on their first attempt, and have a satisfactory record of participation in earlier experiments, may be offered an opportunity to re-sit the test at the discretion of the unit coordinator. This re-sit will only be graded to a maximum of 50% of the mark for the laboratory test.





4. Final Examination

The final examination will illustrate a broad understanding of the key concepts associated with the learning outcomes. The final examination will consist of three parts on topics relating to these learning outcomes, namely:

l Atomic theory, bonding, intermolecular forces and physical properties (Outcome 1: Use an atomic-scale approach to observe the main types of bonds formed in molecules, the intermolecular forces found between molecules and their resulting physicalproperties).

l Stoichiometry and chemical reactions (Outcome 3: Discern between chemical and physical processes and utilise recognised mathematical and symbolic representations to quantitatively and qualitatively describe a chemicalreaction).

l Organic chemistry (Outcome 4: Illustrate the chemistry of carbon by classifying organic compounds on the basis of functionalgroups).

The final examination will consist of short answer questions and will be two hours in duration. The final examination will be closed book, but will include an information sheet with the paper. A sample of the information sheet will be provided on Blackboard before the final examination to use as part of your preparation.

To gain a pass in this unit you must satisfactorily complete each part of the final examination to demonstrate competency of the three unit learning outcomes assessed. The definition of what comprises ‘satisfactory’ will be provided via Blackboard before the final examination.

Pass requirements

In addition to gaining at least 50% of the total marks, to gain a pass in this unit you must meet the following requirements:

l Satisfactorily complete each part of the final examination to demonstrate competency of the three unit learning outcomes assessed,

l Gain at least 50% of the marks in the laboratory test.

Students who fail to meet criterion 2 on their first attempt may be offered an opportunity to re-sit the laboratory test during semester to meet this requirement. This re-sit will only be graded to a maximum of 50% of the mark for the laboratory test.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Late submission of assessments is not accepted in this unit. Students will receive a zero mark for any

assessment item submitted late.





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (e.g. examinations, tests) or due date/time (e.g. assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

In this Unit, Standard Assessment Extension policy (see above) applies for the Final Examination only. Assessment extension requests for other items will NOT be considered.

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments, if granted by the Board of Examiners, will have a due date or be held between 10/07/2017 and 14/07/2017 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

It is the responsibility of students to be available to complete the requirements of a supplementary assessment. If your results show that you have been granted a supplementary assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course. Assessments under investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.

You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.
