The URL for the CHE 101/111 and 113 course web page is:https://ublearnsdev.buffalo.edu. Eachstudents username is their UBIT name. A directory for all Chemistry 101/113 instructors and TeachingAssistants (with office hours listed) will be posted here.

ABOUT THE COURSELecture:

Students should read the text in advance for a better understanding of the material & are responsible forlearning material presented regardless of attendance. The chapters/sections covered are located on page 7.

Material is presented using PowerPoint (completed slides can be found on UB Learns aftermaterial istaught in lecture).

Bring to every lecture: a calculator, & a periodic table (located on UBLearns).

Recitation:

All students must be registered for recitation & lab (a 4-hour contiguous time period). Recitation involvesreview of lecture material and homework problems, the administration of quizzes and pre-lab discussions.

Laboratory:

All laboratory instruction begins in the recitation room with a pre-laboratory discussion of procedures andsafety precautions before proceeding to the laboratory. Students should download theLaboratory Notesdocument located on UBLearns.

Lab instructors will inform their students which laboratory room in the Natural Sciences Complex (NSC)has been assigned to their section (Student HUB schedules DO NOT indicate the correct room for theCHE 101/113 laboratory sections)

Student I.D. cards are used to check out laboratory equipment at the stockroom. Direct lab work questionsto Mrs. Clarke (Laboratory Director) or Dr. Frerichs (Associate Director).

Laboratory safety awareness test: Given during recitation on Wed. June 1. Students missing 2 or morequestions are required to repeat the test. To prepare, students should:

1. Read Lab Manual pgs 15-21:Lab Rules & Regulations, Laboratory Safety and Safety Precautions.2. View theLaboratory Safety & Equipment Check- Invideo located on UBLearns

Safety regulations require laboratory aprons, monogoggle safety glasses, long sleeve shirts, full length pants &shoes that cover the entire foot be worn for all lab work. Students not properly dressed may leave to change,noting that laboratory will end at the scheduled time. Failure to comply with any safety regulations will resultin dismissal from the laboratory, with a grade of 0 (zero) for that day's laboratory work.

Lab Check-out and Improper Chemistry Lab Check-out Fee: All studentsmust check out of their labdrawer during their regular lab period (with their lab instructor) during check-out on July 6. Those who donot are subject to a $100.00chargepluscharges for broken or missing equipment as well as having thelock cut off the drawer. (Safety glasses and lab kits will be held in the stockroom for one month only).Students who drop the course during the semester must check out within one week of dropping to avoid

the Improper Chemistry Lab Check-out charge. Students who are absent from check-out at the end ofthe semester because of illness must complete a waiver form, available at the Copy Center (NSC 361) tohave the $100.00 fine/penalty waived. The form requires written documentation from a physicianverifying the reason for the absence.

Laboratory learning is directly included within the General Education requirement for Natural Science forunderstanding the methods scientists use to explore natural phenomena, including observation, hypothesisdevelopment, measurement and data collection, experimentation, evaluation of evidence, and employment ofmathematical analysis.

Exam 3:Friday, July 8that 9:30AM

Make-up Policy: Students unavoidablyabsent from an exam, quiz, or laboratory must submit an excuse request. Requests can be

obtained from the Copy Center (NSC 361) or UBLearns. Forms must be signed by your lecturer for exams,recitation instructor for quizzes or lab instructor for lab experiments. Then, returned to NSC 361 by the studentwithin seven daysof the absence or the date of lab check-out (whichever comes first). Students should be preparedto document the absence if requested. A valid missed quiz or laboratory will be prorated, based on their othercompleted work.

Grading Summary:

The final course grade (A-F including +/'s) is determined strictly on the basis of thetotal number of points accumulated.Individual exams, quizzes, etc., are notassigned letter grades. Students shouldkeep all examinations, quizzes, laboratoryreports and homework assignments untilthey have received their course grade.These are the only materials which will be

The Copy Center (NSC 361): Serves as a general office during posted hours. Students will be given adated and initialed receipt for all materials turned in.1. Copies of announcement sheets: will be available there and on the Course web page.2. Excused absence request forms: may be obtained there.3. Re-grade requests: Quizzes, Lab Reports, and Exam papers must be turned in to NSC 361 within one

weekafter the paper has been received by the student. The nature of the problem must be specified on an

attached sheet. Papers containing white-out corrections will not be re-graded.4. Late lab reports: must be turned in there. See Lab Notes Sheets for due dates of lab reports.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Incompletes:

Students who present a valid written excuse for failure to take the last Hour exam either prior to or within 48hours of that exam will be given a grade of I (incomplete) if they had a passing average after Exam (II).Students with failing averages after Exam II are not eligible for an incomplete and will be assigned a gradeof F if they do not take Exam III. The default grade for an incomplete will be computed based on 557points with Exam III entered as 0. Incompletes must be removed by examination within 12 months.Students requesting an incomplete are reminded that University regulations prohibit a second registration in

a course for which they currently have an I-grade and that all I-grades must be removed before graduation.Students who stop attending, as judged by their absence from Exam II and III, without officially resigning,will be assigned the grade of F.

Students Registered with the Office of Accessibility Resources:

The Chemistry Department works closely with the Office of Accessibility Resources to make it possiblefor anyone wishing to take a chemistry course to do so. Arrangements can be made for students who do not takeexaminations or quizzes in the administered time and place, and for those who perform laboratory experimentswith alternate accessibility arrangements. Arrangements must be made well in advance by contacting Mr.Randall E. Borst, Director of Accessibility Resources, 5 Norton Hall and the appropriate lead instructor, Dr.Shahri, for examinations and Mrs. Clarke and Dr. Frerichs for quizzes and laboratory experiments.

Academic Integrity:

The University community depends upon shared academic standards. Academic dishonesty in anyform represents a fundamental impairment of these standards. If, after consultation with the student, aninstructor believes the student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, the instructor has the authorityto impose sanctions in keeping with this principle. Students should consult the Academic Regulations andProcedures section of the Undergraduate Education Bulletin for a more detailed discussion of possibleharsher sanctions and the appeals process. The MINIMUM sanctions to be imposed in Chemistry101/111/113 are as follows:

o First infraction: No points will be earned on the assignment and a value equal to themaximum points for the assignment will be subtracted from the student's point total.

o Subsequent infraction: will result in a minimum penalty of subtracting 100 points.

Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following:1. Possession of crib sheets or unauthorized notes at an examination or quiz, if used or not. This includes ANYuse

of cellular telephones or other electronic devices (e.g. PDA's, iPods), whose possession during examinations andquizzes is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Calculator memory banks, calculator cases or other articles are subject toinspection by the proctors.

2. Copying from another persons examination paper, quiz, or lab report, deliberately allowing another person tocopy from you, or handing in work that is not your own original work.

3. Changing an answer on an examination paper, quiz, or lab report and then requesting that the paper be re-gradedfor additional credit. To discourage tampering of quiz or exam answers, we will randomly photocopy exams

and quizzes. Any quiz or exam returned for re-grade in which responses have been altered in any way willbe considered deliberate cheating and the student will be subject to penalties as described above.

4. Reporting of laboratory work not actually done in the laboratory or using data inconsistent with the numbers listedon the data sheet.

5. Abusive use of chemicals, vandalism of laboratory property, and dangerous behavior may result in permanentexpulsion from the laboratory and loss of all possible laboratory credits.

6. Copying or altering the copyrighted laboratory computer disks to obtain data without doing the computerexperiments as designed.

7. Stealing or tampering with other students quizzes/exams/lab reports. This will cause us to take action to have the

offending student removed from the university.

Limited Enrollment Course:

Please be advised that CHE 101 is designated a limited enrollment course, meaning the enrollmentin this course is limited by the number of student positions available. Self-registration in this course in theFall and Spring semesters will be limited to those students who are taking the course for the first time. Thus,repeat enrollment may be difficult or impossible in the fall and spring semesters, and students who plan torepeat the course for any reason should plan to register for the course in the summer.

Repeat enrollment is defined as: a student who was previously enrolled in the course at UB, or whotransferred an equivalent course to UB, who received a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F and qualifiedvalues thereof (e.g. A- , D+); or a grade of P, S, U, I, J, N, or R. The only case in which a

student may self-register for a repeated course is when the student has taken an Administrative Withdrawalfor an entire previous semester, so that all the grades for that semester were registered as W. Students maypetition for enrollment in such a designated Spring course by the third week of the preceding Fall semester,and in a Fall course by the third week of the preceding Spring semester.
