Teaching Philosophy: This course is designed, along with General Chemistry I, to
help the student gain understanding of the basic concepts, fundamentals, theories, and
mathematical concepts of chemistry. My goal is to help you gain a basis of chemistry
knowledge that will help you with other chemistry courses and help you in your chosen
career.

Attendance: Attendance is mandatory and is necessary to your success in this class
(Please read the NEW University policy regarding attendance and sign the document
located at the end of this syllabus and turn in tomorrow with 5 blank pink scantrons).
So, it is expected that you will attend all classes. During each class period, except the first
meeting, a class roster will be passed around to sign.
It is your responsibility to make sure you sign the class roster every period, otherwise,
you will be considered absent. You are responsible for any missed notes during your
absence.







Homework: The homework will be provided electronically by me in Moodle
This homework is going to be graded electronically as soon as
you complete it and the instructor will be able to access the
grades. This will enable the student to determine weaknesses. So,
you should view the homework as a learning tool to prepare you
for exams. Any problems concerning homework and/or lectures
are always welcome to be discussed with the instructor.



If you have any problem opening an account, please inform me
immediately.




Exams: Three exams, plus a final, will be given
throughout the semester. The exams will be announced.

Each student is required to provide ten green half sheet scantrons

Final Exam: A final exam will be given at the time assigned for this class. The
final exam is comprehensive.

You will need a non-graphical I like theTI-36X calculator and a couple of #2 pencils.

ULM Policies Regarding Class Attendance and Cell Phones

CLASS ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS

This policy replaces the one published in the 2007-2008 Undergraduate Catalog.

1. Class attendance is regarded as an obligation and a privilege, and all students are
expected to attend regularly and punctually all classes in which they are enrolled.
Failure to do so may jeopardize a students scholastic standing and may lead to
suspension from the University.
2. Any student who is not present for at least 75% of the scheduled class sessions in
any course may receive a grade of W if this condition occurs prior to the last day
to drop a course or a grade of F after that date.
3. Any University-related activity requiring an absence from class will count as an
absence when determining if a student has attended 75% of class meetings.
4. Students are responsible for the effect absences have on all forms of evaluating
course performance. Thus, the student is responsible for arranging the allowed
make up of any missed work.

CELL PHONE POLICY

Cell phones should be turned off or set to vibrate only when in academic buildings
(including the University Library) and may be used only in restrooms, group study
rooms, and offices. Text messaging may be used throughout the Library (with the
exception of the classrooms) provided that no audible sound is used to notify the
recipients.
All people carrying cell phones into a classroom, laboratory, or clinic must turn off
and store (e.g., in a backpack, purse, phone holster, or other similar item) their phones
prior to entering the room. Cell phones are not allowed on desk or table tops. If there is
an extenuating circumstance that requires the cell phone to be on during a class, the
student must obtain permission from the instructor prior to the beginning of class and
must operate the phone in a silent (vibrate only) mode. Each instructor may further
restrict the use of cell phones in class and may determine the consequences for violations
of this policy.
People who violate this cell phone use policy may be asked to leave the building.
