B.5. Website
The URL for the course website is www.chadlandrie.com. The site will be under continual construction this semester. Some of the current content includes course descriptions; instructor profiles; TA information; OWL instructions; i>clicker instructions and statistics; resources for the laboratory course (CHEM 233); lecture notes; and shared files available for download including rubrics, sample exams and manuals. A salient feature of the website will hopefully be the blog, complete with comment capability. While the blog will function primarily as an announcement board, I also expect it to grow into a platform for initiating interesting discussions in chemistry.
B.6. Assessment
The course will be graded according to individual performance on each of the following assessment items: OWL homework will be assigned for every chapter and must be completed by the deadlines listed in this syllabus (Section B.13). At the end of the semester, the accrued number of OWL points will be converted to a scale with a total of 100 course points (10%). Quizzes and exam questions will be based, in part, on OWL homework. The i>clicker will be used in most of the lectures this semester; it will not be used during discussion sections. Generally, 2-5 questions will be asked during each lecture to reinforce a concept just covered or to determine if I have done a sufficient job of explaining a topic. These questions will appear on the projector screen as part of the lecture slides. One point will be awarded to each student that answers the question; one additional point will be given for the correct answer. The questions may be reviewed later by downloading the lecture slides from the course website or by viewing the i>clicker page within the course website (tentative). At the end of the semester, the accrued number of i>clicker points will be converted to a scale with a total of 50 course points (5%). Most weeks, a quiz will be given during your discussion section. A minimum of twelve quizzes, each worth 15 points will be given; however, only the highest 10 scores will be counted for a total of 150 points (15%). The quizzes will test your mastery of topics presented in previous lectures, assigned readings, OWL homework and i>clicker questions. Since at least two of the lowest quiz scores will be dropped, no makeup quizzes will be given for any student, for any reason. Three exams will be given, each worth 150 points for a total of of 450 points (45%). The exams will cover material presented during lecture as well as assigned readings. Question formats will include drawing reactants or products in reaction schemes; multiple choice; short answer; essay; drawing reaction mechanisms. The final exam is worth 250 points (25%) and is comprehensive. The format of the exam will be similar to the three semester exams. Table B.6.1: Summary of Point Distribution.

b. lecture attendance:
8 c. discussion attendance: You are expected to attend every discussion section. Quizzes will be given during this time most weeks. You are not allowed, under any circumstances, to attend a discussion section for which you are not registered. d. missed quizzes: Failure to take a quiz due to abscence will result in a zero. Since a minimum of 12 quizzes will be given during the semesterand only the top 10 scores will be countedno makeup quizzes will be given under any circumstances. There are no provisions for making up a missed exam without prior approval by the instructor. Incompletes will not be given for students who have taken the final exam. Also, incompletes will only be granted for students showing proof of extenuating circumstances, such as extended illness. Incompletes will not be given for students who are simply dissatisfied with their progress in the course. When an incomplete is assigned, the work already completed and its respective scores will carry over to the next semester. Students are responsible for keeping all graded exams and quizzes until final grades have been entered. Students are also responsible for periodically checking their point totals with the records of their TAs to ensure no mistakes have been made. No grades will be changed after the completion of the course because of grading, recording or adding errors. Students that suspect a grading or adding error on any exam or quiz must bring the original to my office for review within two weeks after the exam or quiz was taken. A letter must accompany the exam that describes in detail what errors are suspected. Exams or quizzes that have been written on or manipulated may not be submitted for review. See Section E for the specifications required in the letter. I maintain the official point total for each student. TAs are not permitted to change or adjust scores after they have been recorded since this change will not be reflected in the official record. OWL assignments are always due on Sundays, by 11:59 p.m. OWL assignments and their due dates can be found in section B.13 on the following pages. Extensions to these deadlines will only be granted when there are extenuating circumstances that can be documented.

D. i>Clicker
D.1. Introduction
Every student is required to purchase an i>clicker remote for in-class participation. i>Clicker is a response system that allows you to respond to questions that I pose during lecture. Generally, 2-5 questions will be asked during each lecture to reinforce a concept just covered or to determine if I have done a sufficient job of explaining a topic. These questions will appear on the projector screen as part of the lecture slides. One point will be awarded to each student that answers the question; one additional point will be given for the correct answer. The questions may be reviewed later by downloading the lecture slides from the course website or by viewing the i>clicker page within the course website (tentative).You will be graded on that feedback and your in-class participation. In order to receive credit credit, you will need to register your i>clicker remote online according to the instructions in the following section.
D.3. Student ID
Your student ID is your UIN number. Entering your i>clicker remote ID and your student ID number correctly is essential for matching your i>clicker responses with your name. You can verify that you have registered correctly by verifying that you have a recorded score for the i>clicker column in the Blackboard gradebook. If you registered more than two weeks after the start of the semester, send me an email so that I can update the i>clicker registration list. Student ID = UINnumber

E.2. Example
If the letter is not formatted according to the requirements above or if the description of the error is unclear, vague, ambiguous, or overly wordy, no corrections or score adjustments will be made. Be specific and concise. An example of a correctly formatted letter is shown below.
John Smith 123 Valero Dr. Oshkosh, IL 61123 312-555-1212 October 13, 2009 Dear Dr. Landrie,
I believe that two grading errors were made on my CHEM 232 midterm exam, which I took on Monday, October 12 at 8:00 a.m. in room 250 SES. I discussed these errors with my TA, Sally Schmidt, and she agreed with my assessment; she suggested that I submit a formal letter requesting that you review my exam. I have listed the suspected errors below. 1.On page two, I count a total of 10 earned points; however, 8 earned points are listed at the bottom of the page. I believe 2 additional points should be added to the final score. 2.On page three, question 2, part A, I listed the functional group as a ketone. I believe this is correct; it is marked incorrectly. I believe 1 point should be added to the final score for this correction. Based on the corrections above, I believe a total of 3 points should be added to my midterm exam score, which raises it from 74/100 to 77/100. Finally, I affirm that I have not modified or manipulated the exam in anyway after it was returned to me. I affirm that I have not written on any pages of the exam before submitting it for review. Sincerely,
John Smith Enclosures (1): midterm exam for John Smith (8 pages)
