Unit 14                       Integrated Chemistry Review: Solving Challenging Problems

All Course policies, dates, and assignments are subject to change. Every effort will be made to ensure appropriate information is made available to you with an appropriate timeline.

 

Lecture is an essential part of the chemistry learning experience. The lectures provide an overview of the subject and also indicate relative importance of the various topics in the course. In addition, important concepts and illustrative problems and applications will be described. Lectures are able to synthesize and expand ideas in ways that a text cannot. Studies show that students who do well in the course are students with good attendance. Students who do poorly have high absenteeism rates. Announcements for changes in the conduct of the course, supplemental course materials, and material that relate to expectations on examinations are presented only in the lecture. Students who stop attending the course will receive an FN grade indicating non-attendance. Financial aid is at risk in this case.

A very pragmatic consequence of lecture is the regular description of expectations on exams, material covered on exams and other work. Quizzes will also be given in lecture (see below).

The C105 Peer-led Team Learning Sections (PLTL), or ÒWorkshopsÓ, are two-hour active-learning sessions in which students in the course will practice doing challenging problems collaboratively. Chemistry content, communication skills and good teamwork practices will be emphasized in these peer-led sessions and students will be expected to be active participants. The Workshop manual (item 4 above) contains all the required Workshop units (do not use workshop books from prior semesters). Each unit contains some descriptive material, a ÒSelf-TestÓ, a ÒWorkshopÓ section, and a ÒPost-Workshop ExercisesÓ section.

¥   Students will arrive at class with the Self-Test section already completed. The Peer Leader will record complete Self-Tests at the beginning of the class. Points are assigned for having completed the Self-test (prior to the Workshop session).

¥   During the Workshop Sessions, students will collaboratively complete the Workshop section (do not complete the Workshop part of the Unit prior to the Workshop session). Points are awarded for completing the Workshop during the Workshop session. Points for the Workshop are assigned based on active involvement, participation, and cooperation during the Workshop period.

¥   The final section of each Unit is the Post-Workshop Exercises section. These are completed after Workshop and serve to help review and examine your knowledge of the Unit. No points are assigned for the Post Workshop Exercises.

Attendance in PLTL sections is mandatory, and prompt arrival at recitation sections is required for all C105 students. Workshop work cannot be made up. If you ever miss a workshop session due to a legitimate, documentable problem, notify Professor Malik immediately and provide written documentation justifying the absence. Employment-related absences are NOT justified absences. If there are organizational difficulties (not attendance, but missing leaders or other structural problems) with the PLTL Program, you should contact Dr. Malik.

ChemSkill Builder^© is a series of exercises designed to improve your skills are solving chemistry problems. Quantitative problem-solving is at the heart of learning chemistry. Those skills are essential for developing an understanding and problem-solving capability appropriate for this level course. These exercises are completed on-line by going to a McGraw-Hill Web site. The site can be accessed anywhere, on campus or home (so long as you have a proper login). To access this part of the course, you need to go to the McGraw-Hill site Òhttp://www.chemskillbuilder.comÓ and login there using the login number in the CD that accompanied your text. You will also create a username the first time you register. After that, you need the login number and this username to regularly complete the required exercises.

Notes, Hints and Tips for ChemSkill Builder (CSB)

It is not possible to type is superscripts and subscripts into the CSB answer boxes. The following is a summary of hints for entering answers.

Writing numbers in scientific notation:

Typically in scientific notation, you would enter a number raised to a power of ten.

Ÿ       For example: 6.022 « 10²³. To enter the same number in CSB, type 6.022e23 (or 6.022e+23).

Ÿ       For example: 4.92 « 10^Ð12. To enter the same number in CSB, type 4.92eÐ12

Rounding Rules:

CSB uses simplified rounding rules that do not include the odd/even rule that is given in our textbook.

Ÿ       If the first digit to be removed is less than 5, simply remove the unwanted digits:
5.8495 rounded to 2 significant figures would be 5.8

Ÿ       If the first digit to be removed is 5 or greater, increase the preceding digit by 1:
3.6531 rounded to 2 significant figures would be 3.7

Entering a chemical formula (or ions):

Since the CSB answer boxes donÕt have the functionality to write superscripts and subscripts, you will need enter keystrokes to indicate writing  a number below or above the text.

Ÿ       Ò^Ó (shift 6) indicates superscript and Ò\Ó indicates subscript.

Ÿ       To enter the phosphate ion, PO₄^3Ð , you would type capital PO\4^3^ Ð (this tells the computer PO subscript 4, superscript 3, superscript Ð. Make sure oxygen is a capital ÒoÓ, and not a zero.

Ÿ       For example: calcium ion, Ca²⁺, would be entered Ca^2^+

Obtaining Credit:

1.      Each Unit is made up of several sections. Our assignments will specify which sections you are to complete for credit. You may do other sections, but you will not receive additional credit.

2.      You must finish all of the questions in an individual section to have a score recorded. You will see a message stating that your score is being recorded. You must be in CREDIT MODE for scores to be recorded.

3.      You may repeat a section to get a higher score. The highest score will be recorded. For example, suppose you scored on the First Attempt 60%, and then on the Second Attempt 50%. 60% will remain your recorded score, unless you try yet again and earn a higher score than 60%.

4.      How credit is assigned? Credit is only assigned when you achieve a specified performance expectation.

a.      3 points: Full credit for an assigned section: If you achieve an 85% or greater score or higher on a section, you will receive 3 points for that section.

b.     2 points: Partial-credit for an assigned section: If you achieve a 75% or more, but less than 85% score on a section, you will receive 2 points for that section.

c.      1 point: Partial-credit for an assigned section: If you achieve a 60% or more, but less than 75% score on a section, you will receive 1 point for that section.

d.     No credit. If you either do not complete an assigned section or receive less than 60% on a section, you will not receive any credit.

Remember: You can repeat sections to raise your score.

¥ If you either omit or do not achieve the 60% performance level, you receive no credit for that unit.

¥ You get full credit, if your score is 85% or higher on a section.

¥ Credit only counts on assigned sections. You can practice, however, as many sections as you want.

Unit choices. Each Unit is identified with a particular major topic. Each unit has a number of Sections that address a particular skill, but not all units are assigned. You will receive credit for the assigned sections of a Unit only in accordance with the policy above. You may, however, practice other units if you wish. The practice units do not affect your grade.

An integral part of the study of chemistry is mastery of problem solving skills. Sample exercises and practice ex­ercises are scattered throughout each chapter; learn how to do each type of exercise. Then, work through as many exercises as you can at the end of each assigned chapter. The Study Guide/Solutions to Exercises combined book shows how to work these exercises. In addition, the StudentÕs Guide part contains more practice problems as well as sample exams for self-testing prior to the course examinations. All these exercises are indicative of the type of problem you will encounter on the exams. You cannot expect to do well on examinations if you do not master problem solving.

These problems will be assigned throughout the term, but will not be graded. However, completion of the assign­ments is very important and cannot be overemphasized. The problems listed in the syllabus will pro­vide students with a minimum of preparation for exams. Completion of additional problems is encouraged.

Five short quizzes will be given in lecture throughout the term. These may or may not be announced. Usually the quizzes will focus on a current conceptual idea, algorithm, or problem-solving technique at a time appropriate in the lecture sequence. Quizzes are open book and lecture notes, and you may consult other students in the class during the quiz. We recommend you sit near other students in your Workshop section during lecture so you can better predict the validity of the answers. Students will need to ensure their student ID numbers are correct on these quizzes: if an ID does not correspond to a student in the course, then those students will not receive the points earned on a quiz.

Interactive Examinations (must be completed at the designated computer cluster located in LD 364)

About the Interactive Examinations. Four examinations will be scheduled during the semester plus the final exam. These exams are closed book and are to be completed independently. All of these examinations except the final are interactive examinations using computers in the LD building. The actual examinations for C105 are given on computers using interactive testing software. Interactive examinations will allow up to two hours for completion. Exams I and II will have forty questions each, and Exams III and IV will have 60 questions each.

Taking the Interactive Examinations. Students will be allowed a 3-day period over which to start the examination. Exams I and II are one hour exams, and Exams III and IV are 1 hour 15 minute exams. The computer will disconnect you after two hours have elapsed. You are encouraged to take the exams early in the exam period to avoid conflicts and unavailable computers: do not wait until the last minute. The examination room has a limited capacity and students will be accommodated on a first come-first served basis. A picture ID card will be required for admission. We recommend that you not risk missing an exam because you waited too long, but take the exam earlier in the available time period.

No student will be allowed to start an exam if less than 2 hours remain before the testing center closes. For example, if the testing center closes at 6 PM, you must start the exam before 4 PM. For students arriving by 4 PM, a waiting list may be created to start the exam if seats are unavailable, however, under no circumstances will a student on the waiting list be permitted to start an exam after 5 PM.

You will need to have with you:

¥ Your campus picture ID

¥ Pencil (scratch paper will be available)

¥ Acceptable calculator: no alphanumeric or graphing calculators.

¥ Periodic Table (you can only use the Periodic Table that was provided in the lecture and no additional information may be added or written on the Table).

Pagers or cell phones may not be turned on (in any mode) during an examination.

Unacceptable materials, calculators, or periodic tables may be confiscated and may be considered dishonesty subject to disciplinary action.

Brief Interactive Exam Directions. Directions will be provided in the examination room when you are ready to begin the examination. The exam starts on a cover page with instructions. The Test button starts the test or takes you back into the test. The Quit button, closes the test and scores it. You have the option to Mark questions as you work them, or to mark them at the end, prior to quitting. Your score will be given to you when you exit the exam (score out of the number of total questions on test).
