Textbook: Zumdahl Decoste "Introductory Chemistry" (6th edition)

Grades: Your grade will be based on the percentage of accumulated points you have earned over the course of the quarter. Typical assignment may have the following weights to give you an idea:

-Homework: 3 points (usually for completion, sometimes for accuracy)

-Quizzes: 5 - 15 points depending on the length. Many quizzes will have retakes available.

-Lab Reports: 10 - 20 points depending on the length

-Projects: There may be a project in some quarters, in which case they will typically be worth 15 - 30 points.

-Unit tests: We will not have any summative assessments until we are back in the classroom. When we get to this point, these assessments will be in 25 - 50 point range.

Late policy: Always reach out if extenuating circumstances prevent you from meeting a course deadline, but late credit for homework will be for half credit. A late penalty will be applied (a loss of a few points depending on how late the assignment is) to longer assignments (lab reports, etc.)

Office Hours/Extra Help: Usually by appointment (email me) but we may schedule an occasional session for specific topics based on interest.

Academic Integrity: Only you can learn the material through consistent personal effort: Please review the academic honor code.
