· A bound laboratory notebook. UMD Bookstore has Marble Cover-80 Sheets, college-ruled or quad-ruled. Approx. 8”x10”. Other options: National or Ampad Comp Book, similar style.
· Approved safety goggles are required in the lab and may be purchased at the stockroom. A laboratory coat is recommended.
3. Other required materials
· A calculator capable of handling logarithms and exponential notation. Calculators and computers with alphanumeric text capabilities will not be allowed in exams.
· Access to the internet. General course information will be posted on the internet. You may use the computers on campus, or your own computer with an internet connection and a web browser (such as MS Internet Explorer).
This is the second course in the sequence Chem 1151-1152, a one-year introductory college level chemistry course that is required for students with majors in chemistry, biology, geology, chemical engineering, teaching physical science, and several other pre-professional programs such as medicine, medical technology, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry and veterinary medicine. Chemistry 1152 covers fundamental concepts of the states of matter, solutions, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, descriptive chemistry of main group and transition elements, and nuclear chemistry. The primary prerequisites include completion of Chem 1151 and college algebra (Math 1105). In addition to meetings requirements for various majors, the Chem 1151-1152 sequence prepares students for more advanced chemistry courses.
This course qualifies for credit in Liberal Education Category 4, Physical and Biological Sciences with Lab. The goals and objectives of this course include development of: critical thinking; written communication skills; familiarity with tools of analysis applicable to chemistry and related scientific disciplines; an appreciation of the methodological approaches to, and the core content of, the chemical sciences; an awareness of the historical and intellectual development of the chemical sciences. This course focuses on the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theory of chemical phenomena. Chemical concepts and information taught in the course will provide a foundation for further study in the physical and biological sciences.
Successful completion of this course requires satisfactory completion of both the lecture and laboratory portions of the course. The lectures, website, and textbook are your primary sources of information.
There will be midterm exams and a final exam. Make up exams will be given in cases of illness; please contact the instructor in advance. A participation score will be based on responses to clicker questions, quizzes and participation. No make-up quizzes will be given. Your grade in the course will be determined by your performance on exams, homework, in-class work and laboratory work. Attention to proper sentence construction and clear presentation of work are expected. The following approximate weight distribution will be used to determine course grades.

This course will adhere to UMD's
Student Academic Integrity Policy, which can be found at www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/integrity.
The instructor will enforce and students are expected to follow the University’s Student Conduct Code (http://www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/code). Appropriate classroom conduct promotes an environment of academic achievement and integrity. Disruptive classroom behavior that substantially or repeatedly interrupts either the instructor’s ability to teach, or student learning, is prohibited. Disruptive behavior also includes inappropriate use of technology in the classroom. Examples include ringing cell phones, text-messaging, and watching videos, playing computer games, doing email, or surfing the Internet on your computer instead of note-taking or other instructor-sanctioned activities.
The University of Minnesota is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal access to its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, religion, color, sex, national origin, handicap, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation. Specifically, the instructor of this course is committed to the maintenance of a non-discriminatory environment in the delivery of this course.
Individuals who have any disability, either permanent or temporary, which might affect their ability to perform in this class are encouraged to inform the instructor at the start of the quarter. Adaptation of methods, materials, or testing may be made as required to provide for equitable participation. Please contact Penny Cragun, Disability Services and Resources, 726-8727.
Successful completion of the laboratory component includes performing the experimental work and submitting a satisfactory written report for each of the experiments listed below.
