Need Help? Are you open to the learning process and helping each other on this journey?If something is not working or if you have any questions, please contact me immediately by email. Feedback is a Gift. From my perspective, your feedback on what you know, what you don't know, and how toimprove our course is very much appreciated. Lack of communication is not an option. So be open, and let me knowhow it is going as we master the fundamentals of chemistry in our course. Thanks, Dr.GergensPS – Please also be aware of directions, guidelines and course expectations by carefully reading through all resources.

• For prompt replies & help, please always email me at:[email protected] an appropriate subject heading beginning with: CHEM100

• Visiting & Tutoring Hours: I am available so please stop by,or by scheduling an appointment. Visiting hours are posted on my office door, MS-415F.

• Tutoring Services: Please see page of 5 of our syllabus.

Attendance/Performance: Key performance indicators show our students making the grade when they are inregular attendance and participate creating a positive course environment. District policy says students innonattendance are to be dropped from a course:

• If you do not attend the first course meeting, you will be dropped.• If you have two or more absences in our course, you are in nonattendance.

Examples of nonattendance are: excused and unexcused absences, and missing course activities.

Withdrawing from our course: If you have to withdraw from any course, it will be helpful to discuss yourintentions with your professor first before dropping. It is your responsibility to withdraw and drop from the courseby the published deadlines and a student in nonattendance can be dropped by me and/or denied access to their Blackboard account; see page 7 in your syllabus for our classic calendar or major course events for important dates.

Absences: Absences are considered nonattendance and your limit are two. During your absence, you areresponsible for all missing course content & activities (lectures, announcements, assessments, handouts, work, etc).

There are two types of absences—excused and unexcused.• Excused absence. An absence will be marked excused if you provide advance notification by emailing me

prior or on the day of your nonattendance. Staying in contact with me by email during any absence is veryimportant. Only missing “excused absence” course activities are allowed to be made-up and our“procedures for make-ups” is followed.

• Unexcused absence. Missing activities during an “unexcused absence” cannot be made-up, and missing activities receive zero credit. An unexcused absence will be marked as nonattendance for the followingreasons:A) If you are not present during roll call—like when attending your companion laboratory course—you will be

marked having an unexcused absence. Roll call will happen at anytime during our time together.B) Receiving zero credit for any course activity by not completing it during its availability period will be

marked as an unexcused absence.C) Truancies—late arrival or early exiting—from the course will be considered as an unexcused absence.

Procedures for make-ups: Course activities missed during an “unexcused absence” cannot be made-up.Making-up any missing “excused absence” activity is easy. The day you return from your excused absence, schedulea meeting with me so we can make arrangements in making-up any missing activity. However, lack of your attentionin scheduling a meeting on the day of your return forfeits your possibility in making-up any missing activity.NOTE: I am not obligated to consider other absences as excused and can require you to provide documentation forexcused absences.

Accommodat ion for Disability: If you are in need of academic accommodations due to a disability, pleaseschedule an appointment with me—and with your DSPS counselor if you have one—during the first two weeks of ourcourse to discuss our options.

Methods of Evaluation:Your success will be evaluated based on a number of course activities relevant to the student learning objectives in thecourse outline of record (COR)—see http://homework.sdmesa.edu/dgergens/chem100/COR.htmlA course activity with its directions and guidelines, availability period and due date will be announced in Blackboard underAnnouncements. Our lecture topic schedule (syllabus page 6) and due dates will change depending on student need and paceas we adjust instruction to improve student learning, success and performance in mastering the material. The pointsearned for each assessment within each course activity category is to be recorded on your grade sheet and counts towardyour final Overall Percentage Grade of Achievement. Please place your grade sheet into your portfolio.

Course Activity Percent of Final Grade Exercises/Assessments 30%Cooperative Learning 8%CO & Celebration1 combined 15%Celebration1 15%Final 26%Portfolio & Grade Sheet 2%Nomenclature Exam 4%

Overall Percentage Grade of Achievement Calculation Weighted percentages (percent of final grade), a grade sheet (page 9), &

directions to calculate your overall percentage grade are linked athttp://homework.sdmesa.edu/dgergens/grade_directions.html

Your overall percentage grade will be applied to the grading scale & recorded A ≥ 90% B ≥ 80% C ≥ 70% D ≥ 60% F < 60%

PLEASE NOTE: Blackboard does not calculate your overall grade but will show pointsearned on assessments. We can schedule a meeting to review your grade. Bringingyour portfolio and grade sheet—filled in with grades as described in link above—to ourmeeting is a must before we can have our discussion regarding your grade calculation.

A warning about turning course activities in l a t e : Be time-on-task. Course activities (i.e., assessment, exercise, etc.) not submitted when asked to do so by their professor or when prompted to so by Blackboard will be receive a grade reduction; one-percent grade reduction per every one-minute late. Any exercise mailed to me will receive a 10% grade reduction per every day late past the submission and postmark date.Errors in grading: Errors—hopefully none—can be made in grading. Please email or see me in person to schedule a meeting to discuss the matter if one feels credit is not given where credit is due. I’ll be happy to help.

Lecture Schedule of Topics: As we journey through the lecture schedule of topics (syllabus page 6), you areresponsible for the content presented, course activities, textbook chapter readings, and the course activity directionsand guidelines linked to your Blackboard account and course Home Page.Course Activities: Multiple methods of teaching and measuring performance and understanding will be given in theform of in- and out-of-classroom course activities (including online) and will include a multimedia project. Blackboardcourse management software is used in this course to make announcements, coordinate dialogue and discussions, delivervarious content and assessment printable hardcopies of course activities to be turned in for grading, and to assess yourbasic knowledge of the student learning objectives linked to your syllabus for our course—see COR link under Methods ofEvaluation. A course activity with its directions and guidelines, availability period and due date will be announced inBlackboard under Announcements. Blackboard accounts will become available on the first day school starts or within24 hours of adding our course.College Culture and the Learning Process: The learning process in this course is based on the belief thateveryone has the capacity to broaden one’s knowledge and their understanding of methods of gaining knowledge inchemistry and to develop one’s abilities in critical thinking, in oral and written communication, and in mathematics.Experiencing these things and developing an awareness of college culture through the lens of other cultures will be thekey to accomplishing our goals successfully. With this in mind, treat our time with respect and intention by adoptingincredible elemental steps for incremental success (That’s Incredimental), and by acknowledging your productivity andyour classmates with kindness and encouragement with simple positive affirmations—like “I am awesome and we haveawesome chemistry”—thus keeping the motivation and momentum which develops our capacity for self-understanding aslife long learners. Additional tips and strategies for improving motivation and momentum in our learning process arelinked here: http://homework.sdmesa.edu/dgergens/tips/index.html

Citizens of Science: We are here to help each other in becoming better “Citizens of Science.” Having as ourintention “mastering chemistry by working problems and asking questions to ensure a concept is understood,”should have an impact on our performance & achievement, which your overall grade will be based on.

Asking questions from your perspective: Get the benefit of further explanation, or become engagedin an interesting discussion by asking questions from your perspective. When you ask questions you become aparticipant rather than a spectator in an academic dialogue. Feedback is a gift, so ask if you do not understandand when given the opportunity to do so. Since the material presented in this course is cumulative andcomprehensive, the questions students ask their instructors and peers provide information about how carefully thestudents have been listening, possible areas of confusion, and, most importantly, how an instructor might adjusttheir style of teaching to meet your needs.

Cooperative Learning & Learning Communities: In the “spirit of collaboration,” there will becooperative learning activities. Be engaged. Active, not passive, learning is essential in this course. Although youare expected to have completed your course activities individually, work together in study groups. During thesemester, you will be asked to provide input on a particular topic by working in groups. This will be accomplished byworking together doing practice problems, chat sessions, calibrated peer review and/or discussion postings, whereyou are asked to be involved in your learning community expressing your opinion, having a dialogue and askingquestions. Asking questions and by posting your questions to the discussion board—and in the professor's office—is animportant part in making the learning experience more participatory. Also, by kindly responding to your fellowstudents' questions, you will be taking a positive cooperative learning approach. If you have a question of a generalnature, remember that it is likely your fellow students will also have the same question and all will benefit from apublic response. So, post your question to the discussion board. It is also possible some students will be able toanswer your question. Participation in these opportunities will become part of your course activity grade. Moreinformation will be provided throughout the semester. All questions and postings will be considered as cooperativelearning. Keep in mind your question will not be answered immediately by your peers or professor (it cantake 24 hours). Therefore, do not wait until the last minute to ask questions. Finally, we all have our own thoughts,opinions, and values which means disagreements can be pretty common, and the art of disagreeing with others differsfrom one culture to another and person-to-person. So lastly, please keep in mind, we can all agree there can beteachable moments when we can respectfully disagree.Celebrations and Comprehensive Final: All celebrations and the comprehensive final will include, but are not limited to, scantron questions (multiple choice,matching, true/false), short essay, fill in the blank, and mathematical computation and their availability are listedon pages 6 & 7 of our syllabus.

• Celebrations will cover all content discussed & completed up until the day of the scheduled celebration.• Our Comprehensive Final will cover all content covered over the entire semester.

Portfolio & Grade Sheet: Keeping a portfolio and grade sheet serves as a progress report, study guide, andproof of completion for this course and is needed before we can have any discussion regarding your gradecalculation. It should consist of a 3-ring binder containing the following:

• Your grade sheet will be emailed to me & it will be graded for neatness and completeness—see due date page 7• Points earned for all activities are filled in on the provided grade sheet; see page 9• your supplemental packet containing work you completed.• any additional handouts provided during the course,• all work you completed on your own (nongraded outside-of-course work, like textbook math problems)• include 3x5 flash cards of all mantras and monatomic and polyatomic ions names.

Nomenclature Exam: You will be tested on substance classification, naming elements, monatomic andpolyatomic ions, compounds and acids for both inorganic and organic substances, writing their chemical formulas,and functional group classification of selected classes of organic compounds. Additional nomenclature practice i sprovided in your supplemental packet and textbook for our course.

Special Incentive Project: Additional "bonus" points, up to 2% towardyour final grade is available. The special incentive project builds on your priorexperience and knowledge and its content should foster diversity, incluscivity, andempowerment from a chemistry perspective, due date on syllabus page 7.More information is linked here: http://homework.sdmesa.edu/dgergens/incentive/index.html
