191Chemistry 131 includes both lecture and laboratory work. To better
understand chemistry, we believe you should become acquainted with
fundamental principies and concepts and be able to apply them in the
laboratory. our goals in this course are to:
1} train you to think scientifically (develop curiosity),
2) train you to think analytically (solve problems) ,
3) Provide you with scientific information of professional and
social value,
4) prepare you for future science and engineering courses,
5) teach you basic chemical principles,
6) develop your ability to communicate scientific inrormation,
7) provide you with Laboratory experience.
Ag in most science or engineering. courses, General Chemistry is
aiggioult. Te ba successful, you must coamit yourselves to academic
excellence. You must diligently prepare fer each class by reading the
assigned portions of the text. and working as many of the homework
problems as. you can, ba attentive in class, and be willing to ask
questions and seek extra instruction. You were selected for this
course on your past academic ‘experience and performance on the
chemistry placament exam - you have the ability to do well in’ this
course. The Chemistry faculty is here to assist you in doing the best
you can.
Keep in mind that Chemistry is a 2 course unit, 6 semester hour course.
You will receive twice the credit for this course as you vould for the
most of your other courses. You ehould therefore expect to spend twice
as much time in preparation for Chemistry 131.
We hope you find this course interesting and informative; we know you
widl find it challenging.GENERAL: POLICIES AND PROCEDURES:
2. The. schedule for chemistry 132. is significantly. difrerent than
other ‘courses. at the Academy.. Check the syllabus daily. In general,
you will haye lectures on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, one .2 hour lab
on Tuesday and a 2 hour recitation on Thursday... If you have a
question, be. sure to consult your syllabus. or ‘ask your instructor...If
in- doubt, go te.your classroom during the assigned period and check.
Your, instructor will clarify the schedule during the first lesson.”
2. Do. not schedule any appointments (dental, medical, EI, tailor shop,
eté,) Guring any clase or lab period.
3s. If you know you will miss a clase, inform your inetructor at leact
one lesson. in advance and submit a Form 78 before your absence if
possible. You. are reaponaible for all work assigned during. your
absence. If you mies a GR, you must take the make-up exam. Tf you
will miss a GR due te a ‘trip, inform yout instructor at least a week in
advance so he'can coordinate with the OIc or OR for a make-up: exam to
be administered on the trip.
‘4. You must keep.up with the course work even 1£ you are hospitalized.
or on bedrest... If you need BI, notify the hospital liason officer to
arrange EI with your instructor, or just call. the Chemisty’ Department
(#2960). Your instructor will give you EI if you are hospitalized for
‘an extended period.
5... Do not’ leave, the classroom or lab until you are dismi
instructor,

and teport, the class ready for instruction, and give your’ inétructor
all homework due. Tt your inatructor dees not: arrive within 5 minutes
after the start: of cla report to the Chemistry. Department for
further instruction: £ ‘
c. During Exams. If the instructor is absent during an exam,"
maintain ‘order. and give the command, "Cease Work," when. the time has
expired: for the exam.’ The time should be written on the blackboard,
