In addition to the Sapling online homework problems, selected problem sets from the text will be assigned, but will not be graded. It is extremely important that you work all of the assigned problems. Active knowledge of the material covered in the problems will ensure that you will be able to work most of the problems on the exams. Also, many of the recitation quizze problems will be taken directly from the asigned problem sets. In addition,

No make-up exams or quizes will be given. Missed quizes will result in lost points. If you must miss an hour exam, and you have an acceptable excuse, a grade for that exam will be calculated based upon your performance on the other hour exams. Acceptable excuses include unavoidable problems such as illness, injury in an accident, etc. (see below) You cannot, however, pass the course without passing the final exam, which is comprehensive! No scratch paper, notes, books, calculators, cell phones, or computers, will be allowed in the exams. You may use molecular models in the exams, but model parts must be contained in a clear zip-lock bag.

Univeristy of Colorado Boulder policies regarding disability and religious issues, behavioral standards, discrimination and harassment, and the honor system

Chemistry 3311 (200) follows all CU policies regarding students with disability and religious issues.

If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to me a letter from Disability Services in a timely manner so that your needs can be addressed. Disability Services determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact: 303-492-8671, Center for Community N200, and http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices.

If you have a temporary medical condition or injury, see guidelines at
http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices/go.cgi?select=temporary.html

Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty make every effort to deal reasonably and fairly with all students who, because of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance. In this class, missing an exam due to religious observances will be an excused absense, and a grade will be calculated based upon your poerformance on the other exams. See full details at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html

Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may be subject to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, color, culture, religion, creed, politics, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and gender expression, age, disability, and nationalities. Class rosters are provided to the instructor with the student's legal name. I will gladly honor your request to address you by an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise me of this preference early in the semester so that I may make appropriate changes to my records. See policies at
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html and at
http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_code
