Chem M12 introducesbasic principles of inorganic chemistry with reference to measurement, chemical natureof matter and energy, atomic theory, elements and compounds, periodic table, bonding,molecular structure, nomenclature, chemical reactions, equations, and calculations.The course fulfills prerequisites for CHEM M01A and CHEM M13. Students shouldhave a recent working knowledge of algebra. Health-science students in pre-nursing areencouraged to take CHEM M11.Class Rules: Turn off cell phones during lecture. Use of a computer during lecture is discouraged asit distracts those behind you. Phones, graphing, programmable or alpha typingcalculators are not allowed during tests and quizzes. Be attentive in class. Appropriateparticipation is expected and encouraged. Disruptive behavior may result in losingpoints and being asked to leave for the day. Cheating and plagiarism are not acceptable.ACCESS:TLC:Supplies:Students with disabilities, whether physical, learning, or psychological, who believe thatthey may need accommodations in this class, are encouraged to contact ACCESS forauthorization at 378-1461Students are encouraged to use The Learning Center, Math Center and Writing Centerto support their academic efforts, located on the third floor of the Library LearningResources building.

During thesetimes you will find me near my office PS 125 or the lab room. My time to help is notrestricted to these times; feel free to ask for help when you see me or schedule othertimes.Responsibility: Regularly come prepared to class, if you miss an equivalent of two weeks of class youmay be dropped, but it is your responsibility to drop if you stop attending. Informationand material will speed by. You must read and work on problems each day to keep up.

Studying Chemistry: I expect you, the student, to take responsibility for your learning:(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f)(g)(h)(i)Begin each chapter by reading the introduction, the summary and key concepts, then look through the pages andget a general idea of the material covered.Read the textbook before the lecture on the material and a second time after the lecture.Take notes during class. Later, read, correct, work examples & expand notes using the book or other people inclass. Print current notes from website www.moorparkcollege.edu/dfranke Notes may be updated before eachtopic. Do not print the entire semester at once since changes may be made.Work example problems in the chapterAsk questions when you are unclear on a concept or problem.Practice, practice, practice… work on MasteringChemistry assignments, bonus problems, study guides andcheck the website for notes, form study groups and seek assistance and tutorials.Discuss chemistry concepts and problems with others.Absences: You are responsible for the material whether or not you attended. Arrange for alternative lab time.Seek help early, free tutoring and learning skills are available for all classes in TLC.IMPORTANT DATESJan 16;Martin Luther King Jr. HolidayFeb. 3;Last day to drop without a "W" appearing on your transcriptFeb 17-20;Presidents HolidayMar 12- 18;Spring Break HolidayMarch 22 @ 3:00pm Last day to apply for Graduation & Certificates of AchievementApr. 20;Last day to drop with a "W"May 9-15; Final Exams; Thurs 8:00-10:00am 5/10/12May 17:Graduation Ceremony for Moorpark College @ 5:30 p.m.CHEMISTRY 12 LECTURE SCHEDULEUNIT CHAPTER TITLEUnit 1 Ch. 1 The Chemical WorldCh. 2 Measurement and Problem SolvingCh. 3 Matter and EnergyCh. 4 Atoms and ElementsCh. 9 Electrons in Atoms and the Periodic TableExam 1 (130 pts) 2/14/11 (Paper on the five atomic theories due on exam day)Unit 2 Ch. 5 Molecules and CompoundsCh. 6 Chemical CompositionCh. 7 Chemical ReactionsCh 16 Oxidation and Reduction (sections 4-5 only)Ch. 8 Quantities in Chemical ReactionsExam 2 (130 pts) 3/29/11Unit 3 Ch. 10 Chemical BondingCh. 11 GasesCh. 12 Liquids, Solids, and Intermolecular ForcesCh. 13 SolutionsCh. 14 Acids and BasesExam 3 (130 pts) 5/3/11FINAL Exam Cumulative Final-Multiple Choice (160pt) Thurs 8:00-10:00am 5/10/12GRADING POLICY There is one grade that includes lecture and lab, you must attend both.Your grade in Chemistry 12 will be determined by performance on MasteringChemistry assignments(10%), quizzes (12.5%), laboratory experiments and workshops (19%), writing assignments (3.5%)exams (39%), and cumulative final (16%).

Grade SCALE (total points 1000): Grade as follows: 90-100% = A; 80-89.5% = B; 70-79.5% = C;60-69.5% = D; less than 60% = F. No "W" grades given by the instructor. Officially drop anyclass which you stop attending.MASTERINGCHEMISTRY ONLINE ASSIGNMENTS 10% (scaled to 100 points)Mastering Chemistry online assignments earn points and have specific due dates that you must watch.Recommended homework and study guides do not add points, but help you learn.QUIZZES (125 points)There are two quizzes in each on new information. Quizzes may be unannounced so it is important tokeep up with lecture, reading and problems. There are no make-ups on quizzes. The lowest quiz scoreis dropped. The purpose for quizzes is to identify weak areas, prepare you for the exams, and ensureyou are keeping up with the class information and assignments.LAB Experiments and Workshops (190 points)Labs are required to get a passing grade in the course. If you miss a lab it may be possible to make itup with another Chem 12 class when they do the lab you missed. Laboratory work is an important partof chemistry missing more than three lab experiments will drop your final letter grade by one letter (Afor the class will become a B). Wear eye protection during labs.WRITING ASSIGNMENTS (35 points)Three page paper on the five atomic theories (including a sketch of each) covered in Unit 1(12 pts).Write about a lab report (3 pts); Write a lab introduction including citations (5 pts); Write a labmethods/materials section (3 pts); Write a lab results/calculations section (4 pts); Write a labdiscussion/conclusions section (4 pts); Write a lab abstract (4 pts).EXAMS (390 points)There will be 3 problem exams during the semester. Work must be shown to support numericalanswers. No make-ups allowed unless arranged before the exam time and I accept your excuse.Contact the instructor if you will miss an exam, for a message on voice mail 378-1400 ext. 1885 oremail dfranke@vcccd.edu. If you fail one exam, the grade of only one may be raised up to a low D(60%) if you answer all the questions and schedule a one-on-one office appointment with me to goover the exam before the next exam. Chemistry is a cumulative science and everything is importanttherefore, ALL EXAM SCORES ARE USED.FINAL EXAM (160 points)The final exam will be comprehensive and multiple choice. The final is Thurs 8:00-10:00am5/10/12. To the final bring a #882 scantron sheet with 50 questions on either side, #2 pencils,calculator, and a one sheet of paper 8 1/2 x 11 inches that may have whatever notes you want. Thenote page cannot have anything stapled, taped, glued or attached onto the sheet.BONUS: Attend a science lecture (a guest speaker at Moorpark, CSUN, UCLA, etc) or science fieldtrip(Griffith Observatory, California Science Center, etc.) and write about what you learned; 10 pts,can be done two times. Work on the textbook chapter bonus problems and turn in the work on May 8 th(1 point per chapter completed, 14 pts maximum)CHEATING is NEVER ALLOWED. If caught you will earn zero & I will bring it to the attention ofauthorities and fill out a BIT form to place in your college file.During this semester there may be an emergency drill or disaster. Take a few moments to look atthe disaster plan map found in classrooms. Follow the instructions of your teacher. Do not leave yourclass group or campus until you get the OK to do so.
