GRADING
The course material is relatively easy.
Most theory has been covered in CHEM 287/297.
The difficulty lies in the amount of material that has to
be learned and then finally integrating this material
into a useful body of knowledge from which one can
select analytical techniques to solve a given problem.
The students usually do quite well. Each year roughly
70% of the class gets A's and B's. Usually everyone
passes; however, as many as 4 people (10%) have
failed in other years.

We may use a variable weighting scheme this year to provide the student with the
highest possible score. It will probably be similar to the one used above. You are
guaranteed that the 25%-25% scheme will be available. The second option will be
decided later.
Note: There will be no makeup midterms. If you miss an exam you must have a
certified medical excuse.

Examinations
EXAM PREPARATION:
The exams will test both problem solving and general knowledge. For
example, you should be able to draw in great detail any system or subsystem
studied and to explain its operation. In general, you should know how things
work, their advantages, disadvantages and their limitations. In addition, you
should be able to critically evaluate a technique and be able to chose a
method (methodology also) to solve a particular problem.
MIDTERM EXAMS
For 2015: There will be 2 midterms and they are 19 Oct, 16 Nov.
Be certain to let your other instructors know now what your schedule
is so as to avoid conflicts.
Midterm exams will start at 18:00.
11
Laboratory
You must pass the lab to pass the course
Most laboratories will be graded by an oral
examination.
Your data should be worked up and turned in one
week after the experiment is done.
Your defense may be scheduled at that time and
any time thereafter.
This means that you must learn how to use the
equipment, even though you work with a partner!
Remember, your partner won't be taking the oral
examination for you!
12
Professional Conduct
1. SAFETY: standard safety procedures are to be learned and followed. Students are
expected to know these procedures, be competent in their execution and adhere to them.
Eye safety is critical. Students in repeated violation of any safety policy will not be allowed to
work in the laboratory and consequently will not finish the course.
2. LABORATORY: students are expected to have read the experiment before coming to the
lab. We are very limited with respect to certain equipment and failure to come to the lab
prepared may result in failure to complete the experiment in the scheduled time. This
may result in no credit for this experiment due to the tight scheduling requirements. Preexperiment exams may be given (oral or written). If you fail the exam the demonstrator
may require you to leave and return only when you have prepared adequately. This may
mean the loss of a laboratory period and consequent failure to complete an experiment.
Please note that you must pass the lab in order to pass the course!
3. Plagiarism of all kinds must be avoided. You absolutely must do your own work. If
you present work as yours and you do not quote sources or you can not defend it (e.g.,
present computer code that you can not clearly explain) then you can be considered to
have committed plagiarism. This has unpleasant consequences, to say the least, minimally
including a visit to the Dean of Students. Go directly to Dean (not Chair), do not collect
$200! Note that every year at least one person has been sent up to the Dean.
13
Method of Operation
In addition to the traditional lecture mode some of
the available class time will be used as tutorial/
discussion time (Socratic Method).
In turn, it it important to (1) read material before
class, and (2) expect to be called upon.
14
Method of Operation
1. Lab write-ups have been reduced significantly. In
turn, students are expected to demonstrate knowledge
during the laboratory practical exam and during class,
both orally and hands-on.
2. Homework is collected although additional
problems may be recommend in preparation for
midterms. You are expected to be able to work
numeric problemscalibration, etc. Anything
covered in the book is fair game unless explicitly
excluded. The emphasis will be on material covered
in lecture.
15
Method of Operation
3. Learning Matlab.
Lab and lecture are highly integrated in many
respects. You will be learning Matlab in order to
work with data from one of your experiments and
apply statistics. You will have homework and
laboratories that will help and guide you to learn to
use this tool. This knowledge is important in
subsequent CHEM 377 analytical classes.
16
Method of Operation
4. Case Studies
In discussing mass spectrometry and other
techniques, we will be preparing you for the Case
Study type questions that will be incorporated in
both midterms. The difficulty of these questions
lies in the fact that you have to pool your entire
chemistry knowledge in order to select analytical
techniques to solve a given problem. Most students
(80%) do extremely well in these questions.

Future Directions
1) Develop multifunctional probes capable of
tracking simultaneously topography and specific
electrochemical fluxes;
2) Understand and predict coating failure of Mg
car components.
3) Propose industrial viable additives to promote
coating self-healing & improve corrosion
resistance.
