Attendance is notmandatory and will not be recorded.Please note that the assigned homework is NOT due in recitation. All homework must be performed andsubmitted on the MasteringChemistry website. See the MasteringChemistry website for specific due datesand times.3

Teaching Assistants for this Course (TAs, recitation instructors)Collin Fischerclfische@syr.eduTA office hours will be held in Room 122 of the Life Science Building (LSB). A schedule of office hours will beposted on the door of Room 122. Students are free to seek help from any of the 1 CHE 106 TAs that are teachingthis semester, not just the TA that is in charge of their particular recitation section.NOTE: The CHE 106 (General Chemistry Lecture) Instructor and TAs have noconnection to the CHE 107 (General Chemistry Laboratory) course in any way. CHE107 is taught and graded totally separately from CHE 106. If you have questionsregarding CHE 107, you must contact the CHE 107 Instructor or TAs.RECITATION SCHEDULEThe following is a schedule of material that will be discussed in the recitations and the homework that is due onthe MasteringChemistry website organized by week. The textbook contains the answers to the odd-numberedproblems. The Solutions Manual contains detailed solutions to these problems and several copies are held onreserve in the Science and Technology Library (Carnegie Library Building). If you are having difficulty, refer tothe Solutions Manual and Students Guide to support your learning. The TA office hours in LSB 122 are also anexcellent resource.ALL homework is to be done and turned in on the MasteringChemistry website.Consult the MasteringChemistry website for the actual assigned problems.NOTE: The MasteringChemistry tutorials are mandatory.COURSE GRADINGAcademic Honesty (from http://academicintegrity.syr.edu)Complete academic honesty is expected of all students. Any incidence of academic dishonesty, as defined by theSyracuse University Academic Integrity Policy (http://academicintegrity.syr.edu), will result in both coursesanctions and formal notification of the College of Arts & Sciences. In this course, students are allowed andstrongly encouraged to study together, but exams and online problem sets must represent the work of theindividual student. Online problem sets must be completed by each student using his or her own access account,though reference to the text and lecture notes is allowed.AttendanceAttendance is not recorded in lecture. However, there is a very strong correlation with good attendance and goodgrades and it is in your own best interest to attend lectures regularly.Syracuse University’s religious observances policy(http://supolicies.syr.edu/emp_ben/religious_observance.htm) recognizes the diversity of faiths representedamong the campus community and protects the rights of students, faculty, and staff to observe religious holy daysaccording to their tradition. Under the policy, students are provided an opportunity to make up any examination,study, or work requirements that may be missed due to a religious observance provided they notify theirinstructors before the end of the second week of classes. For fall and spring semesters, an online notificationprocess is available through MySlice/Student Services/Enrollment/My Religious Observances from the first dayof class until the end of the second week of class. The religious observances policy requires accomidation for thereligious holiday itself, not for travel days if a student will be observing the holiday elsewhere.4

The equation to calculate your overall course raw score percentage is:(Exam #1 %)*0.15 + (Exam #2 %)*0.15 + (Exam #3 %)*0.15 + (Final Exam %)*0.3 + (Homework %)*0.25 = Overall %Grade ranges based upon raw score percentages:A = ≥90% A- = 88-89%B+ = 85-87% B = 80-84% B- = 75-79%C+ = 70-74% C = 60-69% C- = 55-59%D = 45-54%F =
