QUIZZES:

Short chapter quizzes will be given on the days denoted by the symbol . Quizzes will be given at 8 am. The top 5 scores will be used in determining your grade.

HOMEWORK:

You are expected to have completed the reading assignment given for a particular date before coming to lecture on that date. The homework problems are intended to be completed after the lecture on the date listed. Working the assigned homework problems is essential to success in organic chemistry. These assignments will NOT be graded by the instructor. In working the homework assignments, it is best to have read the testbook and studied the lecture material first. Try to work each problem as if it were a question on an examination. If you cannot answer the problem correctly, go back and reread the text and your lecture notes pertaining to the topic.

PROBLEM SETS

Problem Sets are due at 8 am on the dates listed below. A deduction of 5 points will be made for each day that the set is late, i.e., 5 pts deducted for assigments handed in from 9 am on day due to 8 am next day; 10 pts deducted after 8 am the next day, etc.

CLASS POLICIES:

It is your responsibility to be present at the times scheduled for exams. THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS GIVEN IN THIS COURSE. If you must miss an exam due to illness, the course grade will be determined by doubling the score on the final exam. The final exam will be taken only at the officially scheduled time.

Cheating is a serious offense. If you cheat on any quiz, assignment or exam, the minimum penalty is a grade of zero for that work. Your conduct may also be referred to the Student Conduct Committee for assessment of a more severe penalty. Laboratory attendance is required. The experiments must be performed during the scheduled time period.
