Homework (5%):
Homework assignments will be distributed and collected using WebAssign. At the web site you will find the due date and
time for each assignment. The problems in each assignment do correspond
to end-of-chapter textbook questions; however, the numbers used in each problem
will be unique for each student. You may submit your answers up to 5
times. Only
your last submission will be graded. Correct responses on 2/3 of the assigned
problems will be awarded a homework grade of 100%. Problems that are
assigned correct responses above the 2/3 level will be counted as extra
credit. For
example, if 24 points worth of problems were assigned, 16 points correctly
answered would give a 100% on the homework assignment. If you received 24
points on this homework assignment, your grade would be 24/16 x 100 = 150%. This method of
homework grading will allow you to add up to 25 extra credit points (or 2.5%) to
your final average.

Grade Availability:
Grades may be calculated using a computer program
specifically designed for that purpose. The student may access an online version
at anytime at:
http://www.hccfl.edu/faculty/john_taylor/chem1211/11grdcal.html
The instructor may have access to another similar program through Dr.
Andrea Wallace, who teaches the other section of CHEM 1211 and is the chair of
the Department.
A hard copy computer print
out of your grades may be provided to you just prior to midterm through Dr.
Wallace’s program. However, students should keep track of all their grades on
the hard copy of the grading outline attached to this syllabus, Then they can input their grades into the
online calculator. The calculator will ignore all sections and tests not yet
completed. This allows to student to do the “What if” I make this on
the next test or the final and estimate what the final outcome will be.
ON-Line Grade Calculator: http://www.hccfl.edu/faculty/john_taylor/chem1211/11grdcal.html
Instructor’s Right to Change or Modify Grading
Procedures:
This instructor reserves the right to make changes in this syllabus
whenever he feels it is appropriate to do so.
The instructor reserves the right to modify or change the grading
progress as the course proceeds. Any additional course assignments will
substitute for deleted items. Some may also be modified if not deleted. The instructor will
not add major examinations as a modification and maintain the above general
category point distributions. Tests will constitute ~50% of the grade excluding
the final’s 10%, 25% for the laboratory component [15% weekly work and 5 %
each for the midterm and the final], 7% of the grade for Homework and Computer
online Homework, 5% for the Post Test, and 3% for attendance.
Students absent on exam days will do a makeup exam outside of class time when they return on the next Monday, Wednesday or Friday following the absence. This exam must be completed before the next scheduled exam or the day the instructor returns the exam missed. The instructor guarantees the student two days to make up the exam, but thereafter it depends on the day the test are returned.
Student who takes the test on the assigned test day are guaranteed to receive their graded exam on or before the next exam day after completion of the new exam, otherwise the student will be assigned a 100% grade for the un-graded paper.
