Course Description: This course continues the study of inorganic chemistry begun in Chemistry I and also provides an introduction to organic chemistry. A solid understanding of the concepts presented in Chemistry I is necessary for successful completion of Chemistry II. Chemistry II begins with the topics of stoichiometry and oxidation reduction reactions, continues with a study of acids and bases and water and concludes with organic and biochemistry. There are no labs in this course.

Rationale: Learning about the composition of the world around us is vital for every member of society in order that we can all responsibly help to shape the future of our world. The specifics studied in this course, which build upon the concepts introduced in Chemistry I will provide necessary fundamentals for further studies of science in the health and technology fields.

Subject Eligibility for Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition (PLAR) Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is a process a student can use to gain college credit(s) for learning and skills acquired through previous life and work experiences. Candidates who successfully meet the course learning outcomes of a specific course may be granted credit based on the successful assessment of their prior learning. The type of assessment method (s) used will be determined by subject matter experts. Grades received for the PLAR challenge will be included in the calculation of a student’s grade point average. Candidate eligibility is outlined in http://www.durhamcollege.ca/assets/Section~specific/Continuing~Education/documents/plar.pdf Yes No The assessment for this course will be a formal written exam.

Notes: 1. All tests and the exam are closed book. A Periodic Table and any other necessary charts will be provided for each

test and the exam. No crib sheets are permitted. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE A WORKING CALCULATOR FOR EACH TEST AND FOR THE EXAM.

2. Tests and the exam will include a variety of types of questions: multiple choice, problems and short answer questions.

3. Computerized marking sheets (Scantrons) are utilized for a portion of all tests and the exam. Each student must be prepared with a pencil and eraser to use on these sheets and must ensure that answers are recorded correctly on the Scantron. Any erasures must be noted to the teacher during the test time and will not be considered once the test is returned.

4. The final exam, written during week 15, is comprehensive and will include material from Weeks 1 through 14. The exam must be written at the scheduled time. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain an exam timetable and to note the date, time and location of the final exam. Students in this course are eligible for the missed exam policy. The details of this policy are at http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies

5. The in-process evaluation mark will be derived from open-book quizzes and assignments. The dates for these evaluations will not be announced and any that are missed will receive a mark of zero. At least 10 quizzes/assignments (worth 2% each) will be given throughout the semester. The top 8 marks will be used to calculate the final in-process evaluation mark.

6. The midterm mark will be calculated from the mark on Test # 1 plus an in-process evaluation mark derived from the top 4 marks on the quizzes/assignments given to date. At least 5 quizzes or assignments will be given prior to midterm mark calculation.

Course Specific Policies and Expectations: ATTENDANCE Regular attendance is expected and is necessary for successful completion of this course. If a student is absent from class, it is her/his responsibility to learn what was missed prior to the next class and to obtain any documents that were distributed. As noted, random in-process quizzes and assignments worth 16% of the final mark will be given, with no opportunity to make up if absent. Students are expected to bring their textbooks to class.

SUPPLEMENTAL WORK Students will not be allowed to complete any supplemental work to boost their grades. It is in the student’s best interest to attend all classes and complete all assigned work with maximal effort.

DC CONNECT Students must reference DC Connect regularly to keep up to date with this course. DC Mail is used for e-mail communication. ELECTRONIC DEVICES It is expected that all electronic devices not being used as direct learning tools be turned off during class so that students can focus on the learning environment and also not disturb other students. TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS Students must arrive on time to tests with appropriate materials i.e. pens, pencils, calculator. Students arriving more than 20 minutes late for a test will not be allowed to write the test. There will be no individual rewrites or rescheduling of tests missed due to absence. If for any reason a student is going to be absent for a test or has been absent for a test, the weighting of the final examination will be shifted so that it will also represent the mark on the missed test (i.e. the final

exam would be worth 48%). A mark of “0” will be assigned to any other missed test(s). Please be advised that tests will not be returned to students but that they will have an opportunity to review the tests in class. LABS There are no labs in this course. ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE Additional help is available from the professor by appointment. Students requiring assistance throughout the course may wish to investigate the services offered by the Student Academic Learning Services (SALS), Room SSB 204 in the Student Services Building for peer tutoring, subject specific assistance, improving study skills etc., or the CSD office – SW116 (for students with disabilities).
