Course Description:<br />
This course is a one-term survey <strong>of</strong> the basics <strong>of</strong> <strong>General</strong>, <strong>Organic</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Biochemistry</strong> introducing students to<br />
the chemical principles needed to underst<strong>and</strong> the function <strong>of</strong> living organisms. It is designed for persons<br />
without previous background in chemistry <strong>and</strong> is intended to st<strong>and</strong> alone as a minimum prerequisite for<br />
students entering beginning Anatomy <strong>and</strong> Physiology courses.<br />
Prerequisite(s):<br />
Math 095 or higher<br />
Required Text(s) <strong>and</strong> supplies:<br />

<strong>General</strong>, <strong>Organic</strong>, & Biological <strong>Chem</strong>istry, 11 th Ed. Benjamin Cummings Publishers, 2012<br />
Expectations <strong>and</strong> Requirements:<br />
Attendance:<br />
Class attendance is expected. Just as you would think it foolish to dress up for an evening out, order an<br />
expensive dinner, pay for it, <strong>and</strong> then walk out without eating, it is foolish to come to college, pay tuition,<br />
<strong>and</strong> then not attend class. If you must miss lecture you alone are responsible to get the course notes,<br />
announcements, <strong>and</strong> any missed information from a classmate.<br />
Missed laboratories may not be made up however it may be possible to arrange in advance to attend<br />
another lab section for a given week. The lowest lab score for the term will be dropped.<br />
Homework <strong>and</strong> Assignments:<br />
Homework problems will be assigned from each chapter <strong>of</strong> the text to be completed online via the Mastering<br />
<strong>Chem</strong>istry access. By doing the problems online immediate feedback is possible enabling you to practice your<br />
chemistry <strong>and</strong> be corrected in a timely manner..
Exams <strong>and</strong> Quizzes:<br />
Quizzes will be given online for each chapter <strong>of</strong> the text.<br />
They will cover the major chapter topics, lecture material <strong>and</strong> homework problems.<br />
You are allowed to use your text <strong>and</strong> notes for these online quizzes.<br />
You are not to seek or receive help from anyone else (other than God <strong>and</strong> the instructor).<br />
The lowest quiz score will be dropped.<br />
There will be three exams for the course.<br />
Exams 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 will be taken outside <strong>of</strong> class time by appointment in the Yamhill <strong>Chem</strong>eketa testing<br />
center in 1-202<br />
Appointments for the Yamhill testing center need to be made in advance either<br />
o In person in room 1-203,<br />
o by phone at 503-316-3240 or 503-316-3284,<br />
o or by email at lrollest@chemeketa.edu or rod.maskew@chemeketa.edu .<br />
When making an appointment, please have the following information ready…:<br />
Your name _______<br />
Your instructor’s name _Cammack__<br />
The course number is CH<strong>110</strong><br />
The test number is _______ (ie. midterm Exam 1)<br />
Your phone number _______<br />
Be sure <strong>and</strong> bring Photo ID to the Testing center Exam<br />
The testing center is open for exams<br />
Fridays 8:00 am – noon <strong>and</strong> 1:00 pm -5 pm<br />
Mondays 8:00 am –10:00am <strong>and</strong> 12:15-2:15 pm<br />
Exam 3 will be given during final exam week in the regular lecture classroom. It will cover<br />
previously untested material <strong>and</strong> part <strong>of</strong> the exam will be a comprehensive final.<br />
Laboratory:<br />
Each week there will be two hours <strong>of</strong> h<strong>and</strong>s-on experimentation in which we will observe, practice, <strong>and</strong><br />
experience chemical reactions <strong>and</strong> procedures.<br />
Each lab will have preliminary (Prelab) questions that can be answered by reading the experiment<br />
prior to the lab class<br />
Each lab will have a report sheet that is due at the conclusion <strong>of</strong> each project.<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> the experimental procedures will be done in partners however each individual is responsible<br />
for their own report <strong>and</strong> lab assignments.<br />
One lab score will be dropped.
Integrity:<br />
It is expected that students in this course will act with honesty <strong>and</strong> integrity. Violations <strong>of</strong> trust will result in<br />
automatic grade penalties. Continued violations will result in action steps leading to dismissal from the course or<br />
college as indicated in the <strong>Chem</strong>eketa h<strong>and</strong>book <strong>of</strong> rights <strong>and</strong> responsibilities. See<br />
http://www.chemeketa.edu/catalog/academichonesty/index.html for the following <strong>and</strong> further details.<br />
Violations <strong>of</strong> academic honesty include but are not limited to the following:<br />
Plagiarism<br />
Presenting someone else's words, ideas, artistry, product or data as one's own<br />
Collusion/Inappropriate Assistance<br />
Helping another commit an act <strong>of</strong> academic dishonesty such as knowingly or negligently allowing<br />
work to be used by others.<br />
Cheating<br />
