Notes from the class will also be provided online through CANVAS.
Practice Problems (Non-graded):
Practice problems will be selected for practice through http://bit.ly/saplinginstructions.
Practice will not be graded. This self-assessment is for your confidence and development.
Homework quizzes (Graded):
Homework quizzes will also be assigned on line.
Tests must be completed by due dates (after the weekend of each chapter completion).
Homework quizzes will be graded.

Each exam will focus on about 6 lectures (see color scheme above).
Stay familiar with all material covered: Chemical principles build upon each other.
Test dates are shown on the previous page. Chapters to be covered are color coded by week.
Grades:
Class performance will be tracked and shared after each exam.
Final graded on a scale of 0.0 to 4.0, the best being 4.0.
The class mean will be approximately 2.8 – 3.0, but does depend on the class performance.
Missed exams, regrades, etc.
Do not miss an exam at the scheduled time. There will be no makeup exams.
If you wish to have your exam re-graded, it must be given to your TA within 48 hours of its return to
you. Please also provide a signed note explaining what you want reconsidered (see below). The
TA will be asked to re-examine the entire exam. There are no exceptions to these rules.
Chemistry study center:
The study center is housed in BAG 330. The study center provides you an opportunity to work and learn
from fellow Chem 239 students and Organic Chemistry Teaching assistants.
The hours are M-Fri 9:00 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. Teaching assistant schedule will be posted on the class
websites. The study center also has 27 ‘technology fee’ computers. Many of you will find the general
chemistry programs on these computers useful and an interesting way to master the concepts presented
in lecture. A photocopy machine is available at 10 cents per copy.
Keys to Success
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Attend ALL classes, pay close attention, and take notes.
Chemistry is sequential and hierarchical. Learn and digest today’s lecture, to understand tomorrow’s.
Study at least two hours for each hour of lecture.
Find a place that allows for periods of uninterrupted study.
Skim through textbook material and CONNECT work plans, BEFORE each lecture.
Make daily, weekly, and quarterly plans and follow plan to the letter.
Practice what is expected on exams. Work with many problems.
Talk chemistry with fellow Chem 239 students in the Chemistry Study Center (CSC).
