AIMS & OBJECTIVES This course is the first component of the two-semester General Chemistry course for biology students. The course is aimed at providing the student with an adequate background in fundamentals of chemistry an understanding of chemical concepts, critical and analytical thinking skills to draw relationship between chemical concepts, systematic problem solving skills through conceptual and numerical problems, scientific literacy and awareness to establish connections between chemistry and real life or their major field of study basic chemistry laboratory skills.

LEARNING OUTCOMES The student who will complete this course successfully will be able to Understand the solutions, solubility, solute and solvent Understand the chemical kinetics; the rate of chemical reaction, temperature and concentration effect of chemical reaction Understand the chemical equilibrium Be able to understand difference between acid and base, and their properties Understand the aqueous ionic equilibrium Understand the free energy and thermodynamics Understand the basic rules of electrochemistry Understand the carbon-containing compounds and their classifications in organic chemistry Use symbols and units correctly Use mathematical and chemical equations for solving numerical problems Use dimensional analysis method for solving numerical problems Apply the theoretical concepts and methods of chemistry covered in this course to solve conceptual and numerical problems Use printed and electronic text effectively to cope with the course Use decent scientific English for written and oral communication Handle chemicals properly, Perform experiments safely, Write lab reports Perform individually or as a team member whenever necessary. -

Grading Criteria for A (excellent) ~85% and above B (good) ~70% and above C (average) ~60 % and above

D (barely sufficient) ~50% and above

Excellent understanding of the concepts and the principles as demonstrated by correct and accurate knowledge and application of theory/laws in solving problems. Response to problems is clear, legible, concise and accurate. Excellent performance. Better than average understanding of the concepts and the principles as demonstrated by correct and accurate knowledge and application of theory/laws in solving problems, but doesn't have the depth and outstanding quality of an "A". Response to problems is fairly clear, legible, but occasionally contains some inaccuracies. Performance exceeds the minimum requirements An average understanding of the concepts and the principles as demonstrated by reasonably correct knowledge and application of theory/laws in solving problems, but doesn't have any depth. Response to problems is reasonably clear, legible, but contains inaccuracies. It reveals a sufficient understanding of the material, but lacks depth in understanding and approach/application. Content and form don't go beyond basic expectations and/or display some substantial errors. Acceptable but non-exceptional performance that doesn't go beyond the minimum requirements. Minimal knowledge and barely sufficient understanding of the concepts and the principles as demonstrated by approximately correct application of theory/laws in solving problems. Response to problems is not very clear and is barely legible, and contains many inaccuracies. It reveals a minimum (confused) understanding of the material, and lacks depth in understanding and approach/application. Content and form do not adequately meet the basic expectations, and/or display significant errors. Performance demonstrates severe problems in one or more areas. Work does not meet the most minimal standards. It reveals no understanding of the material, lack of basic academic skills and knowledge, or completely incomprehensible writing. Performance is not acceptable Conditions that might lead to NG grade. Not attending the class more than 80% of total lecture hours. Not attending any two exams, including make-up.

F (fail) Below 50% NG nil grade

EXAMS (See Grading Criteria) 1. There will be two quizzes, one midterm exam and one final exam. Exam results are announced on the Chemistry Department Notice Board. 2. All students should have a scientific calculator for use in exams. 3. Mobile phones are not allowed to be used in the exams as a calculator. 4. Students can see their papers in the first 10 days following the announcement of results, but not later than that. MAKE-UP EXAM The student is allowed to make-up only one missed exam; the midterm, or a quiz exam. The make-up exam is given at the end of the semester after the final exams are completed. OBJECTIONS Students marked exam papers are available for inspection from the course instructor upon request. To conform to regulations these requests should be made within 10 days of announcement of marks. Objections to any grade must be made to the instructor.

LABORATORY WORK
Laboratory work is compulsory. Missing three or more experiments will result in failure in CHEM112. Repeating students holding a passing lab mark (4/10 or higher) do not have to repeat the lab work. A quiz is given before each lab session on the experiment to be performed. The lab report need to be submitted at the end of the lab session. The total lab mark is composed of Quiz marks: 20%, Reports: 50% and Lab Final Exam 30%.

ATTENDANCE
Criteria). Labs: Laboratory work is compulsory. Missing three or more experiments will result in failure in CHEM112. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Quiz I 10% Midterm 30% Quiz II 10% Laboratory work 10% Final 40% Lectures: At least 80% attendance is compulsory. Failure to fulfill this criterium may result with an NG grade.

ACADEMIC HONESTY - PLAGIARISM Cheating is copying from others or providing information, written or oral, to others. Plagiarism is copying without acknowledgement from other peoples work. According to university by laws cheating and plagiarism are serious offences punishable with disciplinary action ranging from simple failure from the exam or project, to more serious action (letter of official warning, suspension from the university for up to one semester). Disciplinary action is written in student records and may appear in student transcripts.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS REPEATING THE COURSE FOR A BETTER GRADE; WHATEVER GRADE YOU RECEIVE AT THE END OF THIS SEMSTER WILL REPLACE YOUR PREVIOUS GRADE. PLEASE KEEP THIS COURSE SYLLABUS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION
