Why Chemistry? Chemistry is involved in everything we do on a daily basis. From turning the food we eat into energy to developing new materials for the latest technology. If we break these processes or materials down to the most fundamental level, we arrive at…chemistry! We study chemistry to understand the relationship between properties of substances and properties of the tiny particles they are composed of. A large focus of this course will be on developing your critical thinking skills. We have to solve problems on a daily basis, so building on your critical thinking skills is very important to me. I consider us a team. I am excited to work with you this semester. I encourage you to ask a lot of questions, discuss with your classmates, and challenge yourself!

Welcome!

Fullerton College, Chemistry 101, Fall 2016

My Teaching PhilosophyI chose to study chemistry in great part due to the influence my high school chemistry teacher had on me. His enthusiasm and passion for chemistry helped me discover my love of problem solving and critical thinking. The same facet that attracted me to chemistry helped me discover my love of teaching: I still problem-solve on a daily basis. The bonus is, I have the opportunity to learn from a diverse group of students! My approach to teaching is focusing on teaching individual students, not just providing content. With that said, I want to get to know you this semester. I want to find out: What motivates you? What experiences you’ve had that I can build on in this course? What do you expect to get out of the course? What topics get you excited about learning?

Student Learning Outcomes (SLO’s)

1. Identify names and general properties of inorganic and organic compounds.

2. Apply quantitative analysis to solve unit conversion, mole concept, stoichiometry,

and solution concentration problems.3. Demonstrate the assembling of basic

laboratory glassware, perform fundamental laboratory techniques, make and record relevant experimental observations wih

correlation to chemical concepts.

Course Description: This course is intended for students who wish to pursue careers in the allied health professions (nursing, etc.), environmental technology, or for GE credit. The fundamental principles of chemistry, organic chemistry and some biochemistry will be discussed. Approx. 4.25 hours, lecture, 3 hours lab, and 1 hour problem solving weekly.

Prerequisites: Math 040F with a "C" grade or better or equivalent skill level demonstrated through the mathematics placement process.

What you need…

For Lecture:

1. General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry by Timberlake, 4th edition, 2013 (ISBN: 978-0321750891) is sold in the bookstore or on Amazon.com (I recommend Amazon). You may also buy Mastering Chemistry with the e-text for $110 online (link below).2. Mastering Chemistry: Is an on-line homework and tutorial program that you will be required to purchase and enroll in. Note: the bookstore will no longer sell the textbook/ access code bundle. An access code can be purchased for the 4th ed. on the mastering chemistry website (link above) for $66. It contains many resources to help you and I encourage you to explore it early. In fact there are some assignments that are due during the first week. Our course ID MCSTANTON11062 is and the college ZIP is 92832.

3. Non-programmable scientific calculator with exponents and logarithms (I recommend a TI-30). Note that you will not be able to use a programmable calculator on quizzes/exams.

(all items are available from bookstore unless indicated)

4. Sign up for a TED-Ed account. Some of our lectures will be “flipped,” meaning you will watch a short video lesson at home and answer a few follow-up questions in preparation for problem solving in lecture. These lessons will be available on the TED-Ed website.

For Lab:

1. Laboratory Manual for Chemistry 101, Custom Edition Fullerton College; Pearson/Benjamin Cummings publisher (approx. $45)

(all items available from bookstore)

2. Safety goggles (must have full side shields, see below)3. Closed-toed shoes4. Lab coat or apron (optional)

Grading

Problem session and participation: This portion of your grade is based on completing start-up assignments and attending/actively participating in problem sessions (mandatory). Problem sessions are time for you to work through problems and activities as a team with your classmates. Make the most of problem sessions! Some of our lectures will be flipped, meaning you will watch video lectures or read parts of the textbook at home and take notes just as you would in lecture. You will need to create TED-Ed account to complete some of these. Remember that even though this is only 5% of your grade, the effort you put into these will ultimately have a much larger impact on your overall grade.

Homework: All graded homework is assigned through Mastering Chemistry. You can find a calendar of due dates when you login. This is an opportunity to practice what we cover in lecture to develop you problem-solving skills. It may be helpful to work the textbook problems on paper before completing them in mastering chemistry. There are a few assignments in the organic chemistry section that will be handed in instead. I encourage you to work with your classmates on these problems. A great way to test your mastery of a topic is to be able to explain it to someone else.

Exams/Quizzes: There will be 4 exams and your lowest exam score will be dropped (30%). Additionally, there will be two unit exams worth 30% of your grade (you must take both). Several unannounced quizzes will be given in lecture over the semester (5%). There will be no make up exams or quizzes. Please contact me ASAP if an emergency situation prevents you from taking an exam.

Zero Tolerance Cheating Policy: If you are caught cheating on any assignment or exam, you will be given a grade of zero for said assignment, and a report will be filed with the Vice President of Student Affairs. Please read the Academic Integrity Policy Statement.

A = 90–100% D = 55–69%B = 80–89% F = 0–54%C = 70–79%

Tips for Success in Chemistry 101Attend Office Hours: Please attend office hours! This is your time to ask me whatever you like. If you’re studying with other students in our class, which I strongly encourage, feel free to come as a group. We can discuss problems and work through problems together. If you cannot attend my scheduled office hours, it’s okay. My schedule is flexible and I’m happy to answer your questions. Make an appointment with me a few days in advance. I am here to help, so ask away!

Attend all lectures, problem sessions, and labs. Do start-up worksheets/read chapter learning

outcomes before coming to lecture. Ask questions! Especially during lectures.

Chances are the person sitting next to you has the same question, so you will help them too.

Turn in lab assignments on time. Start lab reports early so you can get help if necessary. Pay close attention to the lab report guidelines. Note: You must pass lab to pass lecture.

Read the material from text before class! Take notes while reading. Write down important definitions, equations, concepts, etc. Also, start formulating questions!

Re-read the text after lecture, and work the example problems as you read.

Do all of your homework! Even though it is only 10% of your grade, the more problems you work, the better you will become at them. Practice, practice, practice. The amount of practice you put in will definitely show on quizzes and exams.

Work through problems more than once. Save your quizzes and use them to study for

the exams. Go over your exam the same week that it is returned to you. Re-do any questions that you lost points on. Not all topics are cumulative, but many are.

Take advantage of the tutor center, supplemental instruction (SI), and STEM student helpers PALs.

Laboratory Information

There will be 4 unannounced quizzes on labs or exercises throughout the semester. Quizzes may cover the previous lab or the one assigned for that day or any safety issues. Quizzes will be given at the beginning of the lab period. There are no make up quizzes. You will receive a score of zero for each missed quiz (even those you miss for being late). Zeros really hurt your lab grade. Be on time and prepared for lab.

Lab reports include pre-lab study questions, data pages, and post-lab questions. Unless stated otherwise, lab reports will be submitted at the end of each lab period. Each student will hand in his/her own report. These are usually collected at the end of the lab period. Do not copy answers to the assigned questions from other students. Answer each question in your own words; points will be deducted for copying. A total of 14 lab reports/exercises will be graded over the semester. The first 5 will be will be worth 10 points each and the last 9 will be worth 15 points each.

Grade Breakdown:First 5 lab reports/exercises: 10 points each (50 points)Last 9 lab reports/exercises: 15 points each (135 points)4 Lab quizzes: 10 points each (40 points)Final lab quiz: 50 pointsTotal: 275 points**Take your lab percentage as a decimal and multiply by 200 to calculate your points toward your overall course grade.

1. Protect your eyes with approved protective eyewear at all times.2. Dress appropriately for lab (Suitable closed toed protective footwear is

required at all times - sandals are unsafe. Tie long hair back).3. Let nothing touch your mouth, lips, or any other part of the face while in lab.4. Be aware of the locations of all safety equipment.5. Follow the directions in your lab manual.6. Notify your instructor before lab of any chemicals you are allergic to.7. Never leave an experiment unattended (especially a Bunsen burner).8. Report all accidents to your instructor.9. Do not use any electronic devices: cell phones, iPods, etc.- while in lab. Focus

and awareness is important in the laboratory.10. Take only as much chemical as you are instructed from the stock bottles.

Place any excess chemicals in a waste container.

11. Use the fume hood for reactions that release toxic or noxious gases.12. Keep your work area and the common work areas clean and dry. 13. CLEANUP! Return all equipment at the end of the lab period.14. Watch the safety video, take the safety quiz, and read the student academic integrity policy statement before beginning any experiments.

Welcome to chemistry 101 laboratory! The grade you earn in this class will count as 20% of your total course grade. You must pass the lab in order to pass the course (minimum 65% overall). The lab will be graded based on your preparedness (pre-lab study questions), quiz scores, safety, technique, cleanliness, effort, and lab reports.

Our Classroom Learning Environment

Chemistry Quick Fact: Did you know that the 3-dimensional structure of a drug helps it know exactly where to go in the body? Look at the label. The active ingredient is a “compound” that has a specific 3-dimensional structure that allows it to navigate to the correct place in the body. We will learn more about these “molecular structures” this semester!

Our learning experience in this class will involve a community. The more support, courtesy and respect you give this community the better you and your fellow students will perform. Please arrive on time and prepared, do not annoy or distract others during lectures, study sessions, and lab. Refrain from talking to classmates while the instructor is speaking. Cell phone policy: Please put your cell phone on silent before coming to class. You are welcome to have your cell phone out at your desk in case of emergency, but I will ask you to leave if you are using your cell phone for purposes other than class-related activities.

Note: Schedules are tentative and subject to change
