General chemistry lab manual: available only at the UConn bookstore 3. You must have a device capable of running respondus lockdown browser with a web camera. This generally means a Mac, PC or Ipad. Chromebooks do not work. Course Overview Lecture: For this online course lectures will be presented as a series of videos. These videos will be organized into blocks of video that you will be expected to watch and take notes on weekly in order to keep up with the material and gain initial knowledge of the topics covered.

If you are so authorized to record my lectures, you may not copy this recording or any other material, provide copies of either to anyone else, or make a commercial use of them without prior permission from me. Posting of any of my materials, including but not limited to exams, quiz questions, lab assignments, prelab assignments, PowerPoint slides, and solutions to recommended problems, to any website or social media site violates this policy. Discussion Session: 1 You are expected to attend every discussion. The purpose of discussion is to reinforce topics presented in lecture working on example problems provided in discussion. Discussion will be held online but will involve a graded component to reward active attendance. Laboratory: Laboratory is an integral part of the course.

If you do not see a posted office hour time or have forgotten when that time is you can always email the professor or ask. Never hesitate to ask a question, especially during an online course. Your professor is your best source of information about your grade and will often be the quickest way to answer a question. Keep in mind that professors usually work on a schedule. Q Center: The Q center is a tutoring service specifically for students taking Q (quantitative) courses. Chemistry are Q courses so you can go to the and get help. The Q center has been doing online tutoring and it is a good source of help if you would like to try something outside of the chemistry department. How to succeed in the course 1. Keep up with the class material as posted on HuskyCT. This seems easy but always a problem. 2. Make sure you do your online homework every week. Homework is worth as much as an exam but you have all week to complete it. procrastinate. Just because you finished the first homework quickly mean that they will all be easy. 2. When you encounter a problem that you understand on the homework or practice problems you need to ask someone for help. The point of doing practice problems is to show you what you understand and what you understand. If you struggle with a problem, you 2 LockDown Browser for Tests in HuskyCT This course requires the use of LockDown Browser for tests in HuskyCT.

For assistance, contact UITS HuskyTech (HELP), Online Homework Every Friday night there will be an Online Homework assignment due. These assignments can be accessed through HuskyCT using the homework link in the weekly materials folder. In order to access this homework program for the entire semester you will need an access code. This access code is included in the access code you purchased as part of the course materials. If you have yet to purchase an access code, you can still access the online homework through HuskyCT for 2 weeks free. After that 2 weeks you will need to purchase a code. If you miss a due date on the online homework you will need to contact your professor. TAs are not able to give you an extension on your homework. 4 What to do if you missed a lab or an exam Missed Lab: The labs are available for a full week during which you can do them any time you want. You will have to have a very good excuse for not turning in your lab on time. If you do miss lab and wish to do it late you will have to talk to your professor to get access to the quiz after the due date. Absence from Exams: Exams are scheduled for Friday evenings at 6:00 PM there is a scheduled make up exam on Saturday Morning at 6:00 AM. Unless you have proof of a excuse (death of a close family member, illness with doctors note, university sanctioned event) you must take the exam during your scheduled time. The make up exam will be used to accommodate people with legitimate reasons for not being able to take the normally scheduled exam. Access to the make up exam is restricted to students who have been given permission their professor. If you completely miss more than 2 regularly scheduled exams you must meet with your professor to determine if you can complete the course. If you miss an exam due to unforeseen circumstances, such as an illness and are unable to arrange a make up with the instructor you will be allowed to have your missed exam counted as a portion of the final exam in the class. There is no option of taking an exam after the scheduled make up of the exam is over. If you do not inform your instructor of a missed exam within one week it will be counted as a zero. Final Exam (From Dean of Students) When students are forced to miss a final examination due to illness, accident, death in the family or other unavoidable reasons they can come to the Dean of Students Office to receive approval to arrange another exam time with their instructor. Students should present appropriate documentation to support their request. Come to the Dean of Students Office for this service. With other exams and assignments which are required during the semester students bring their documentation of extenuating circumstances directly to their instructors. Grades Exam Grades: The exam grades will be posted on HuskyCT after all the grading is completed. Please check the announcements every day. After the grades are posted you have one week to check whether the grade that shows on HuskyCT is correct or not. If there is a mistake you need to contact Dr. Cady or your lecture professor. After one week grades are final and cannot be changed for any reason. All grades will be posted in the HuskyCT gradebook. 5 v Career Services: v Alcohol and Other Drug Services: v Office of student services and Advocacy: v Academic Achievement Center provides coaching, workshops (time management, note taking, sstrategies for deeper learning, exam preparation), and services that enhance skill development, effective and personal transitions to the university setting.
