*Please do not use e-mail to ask chemistry questions. These are much better dealt with in class, in the DropIn Centre, or by coming to scheduled office hours. E-mail is for administrative matters. Thanks! Note also that e-mail is inefficient for sorting out some administrative issues, especially things for which there is a near deadline. Unless you are a very frequent e-mail user you should phone or drop by the office to make such arrangements. Office hours will be announced and posted on the course web site early in the term. Please always use your UVic e-mail address for correspondence and include ‘Chem 101’ in the subject line of all correspondence. There is also a Chem 101 blog at http://mcindoe101.blogspot.ca/ for asking questions through

the term. 2. Prerequisites There are two; Chem 11 and Math 12 (BC high school Chem 11 and Principles of Math 12 (or Pre-Calculus 12) or their equivalents). Chem 12 is highly recommended. Students found to lack the prerequisites will be de-registered. Note: If you plan to take Chem 102 and you do not have BC Chem 12 (or equivalent) then you must take and pass UVic Chem 091 as well as Chem 101 . Chem 091 is a web-based course that will assist students in mastering the material from Chem 12 that is important for successfully completing Chem 102. If you need more information about Chem 091, contact Monica Reimer, the Chemistry 091 Coordinator ([email protected]). 3. Registration in Chem 101 Every student wishing to earn credit for Chem 101 must be registered in a lecture section and a laboratory section. See section 7(d). Usually there are more students wishing to enroll in Chemistry 101 than there are spaces. You will be asked by e-mail to tell us if you plan to drop Chem 101. If you have decided not to take Chem 101 this term, we need to know soon in order to plan lab sections and make room for students on the waiting list. Students who need to miss the first class(es) must nevertheless attend their first lab in the week of September 9th or risk being dropped from the course. Students wishing to remain on the waiting list for Chem 101 and wishing to be considered for registration in the course must be listed on the “Waitlist” maintained by the UVic registration system. Students who are waiting for a place should monitor their registration status several times per day using USource during this period. If you absolutely cannot resolve a lab section conflict after the first full week, contact Monica Reimer. (See instructor contact info above.)

4. Textbook and Learning Resources a. The necessary textbook resource is the course package, which includes UVic custom edition of : Brown, LeMay, and Bursten, “Chemistry: The Central Science”, 12th edition, 2012, which is sold in the Bookstore. It is sufficient to purchase the package that has the e-book. If you want a printed copy of the custom text, there are packages that include this option. See the textbook page of the course website for a full explanation. http://web.uvic.ca/~chem101/text.html The textbook package also includes the colour Chem 101 & Chem 102 Lecture Notebooks as well as access to Mastering Chemistry and an iClicker voucher. Both instructors will teach to the same set of outline notes. The lecture notebook contains some other special features described on the course web site. b. There is a Selected Solutions Manual for the above text which may be available as a used book or on-line. It is not stocked in the UVic Bookstore. The Selected Solutions Manual contains worked-out solutions for the black-numbered exercises. Short answers to the red-numbered ones are available at the end of the text, and at the end of the e-text. Many, but not all, of the end-of-chapter questions are part of the assigned Mastering Chemistry homework, and solutions to these become available once you have done them. These are not counted toward your course grade. c. Laboratory Manual for Chemistry 101 , 2013/14, published by the Department of Chemistry and sold in the Bookstore. d. You will also need an iClicker personal response device for use in lectures (sold in Bookstore). e. Course web site: http://web.uvic.ca/~chem101 Course information, on-line quiz schedules, access to the Mastering Chemistry web site for on-line quizzes, midterm test results, midterm test answers, dates for iClicker participation, and other resources will be posted on this website. Please note that the course website is not designed as a teaching tool that replaces the attending of classes. It is an information source. f. Drop-in Centre (See section 11 below.) g. Animated problem solutions for typical Chemistry 101 exam questions are available. The solutions demonstrate a structured approach to problem solving. http://web.uvic.ca/~mcindoe/rpsc.html h. In-class chemistry demonstrations given (biweekly) by a scientific assistant or by your lecturer.

5. Course Components The course includes the material in the syllabus (see page 6 of this handout), scheduled lectures, scheduled laboratory work, out of class work including Mastering Chemistry problem sets, participation in iClicker questions in class, and eight on-line quizzes in Mastering Chemistry, two midterm tests and a 3-hour final examination. 6. Grading The marked components will be weighted as follows: 2 Midterm tests 8 On-line quizzes iClicker participation Laboratory Final exam

20% 7% 3% 33% 37%

a. A passing mark for the laboratory and completion of 70% of the laboratory work are both required to pass the course. b. A passing mark (approximately 50%) for the total of final examination, midterm tests, quiz, and clicker components is also required to pass the course.


c. All midterm test and quiz marks count towards the final grade with NO EXCEPTIONS. Therefore, students must work throughout the course to achieve optimal learning and performance. The best strategy for success in this course is to do regular reviews of the material. d. Missed midterm tests or final examination will count as zero in the grade calculation unless a medical or other satisfactory reason is provided in writing. The excuse must be dated within the week of the missed midterm test and must be handed in to your instructor within two weeks of the test date. The medical excuse must provide sufficient information to establish that you were not able to write the test or exam due to your medical condition on the date of the test or exam. You are expected to give written consent for appropriate information about your medical condition to be disclosed to your instructor. Any such information obtained is treated as confidential. Certain other types of personal or family circumstances may be considered as equivalent to a medical excuse if accompanied by appropriate documentation. 

Missed midterm test: There will be no make-up midterm tests. Documentation (e.g. from your doctor) should be provided to your instructor. If the documentation is accepted, the weight of the final examination will be increased to account for the midterm test value.



Missed final examination: The appropriate documentation should be submitted with a “Request for Academic Concession” (from Records) to the Undergraduate Records Office as described in the University Calendar: http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2013/FACS/UnIn/UARe/AcCo.html

e. Missed on-line quizzes in the Mastering Chemistry site will count as zero. Pay attention to the published Due Dates for the Graded Quizzes. f.

Clicker points will be based on participation in CHEM 101 classes on specified dates, depending on your section. (see section 10 below) If you participate in clicker questions in 80% or more of the specified 18 classes (i.e. in 14 or more classes), you will receive the maximum of 3% of your final grade. You have to answer only one question on a given day to get credit for participation that day. If you participate in fewer than 14 classes, you will receive a pro-rated percentage (see section 10). There is no opportunity to “make up” or prorate clicker points if you do not participate in class. The level of participation required to receive maximum points is set at 80% of all designated classes to allow you to not respond for up to four classes (due to illness, sports competitions, low batteries or missing clickers, technical malfunction, etc.) and still receive your maximum clicker points. It is an academic infraction to use or bring another student’s clicker to class, or to lend your clicker to another student. This will be treated the same as other academic infractions (such as cheating on an exam) and will be subject to university disciplinary procedures. Please remember that the clickers provide you with an opportunity to enhance your in-class learning, and it is expected you will respond to all clicker questions and cooperate in making the system work to help you and your colleagues learn Chemistry.

g. Letter grades will be derived from the final composite score. Conversion of numerical scores to letter grades will be based approximately on a new conversion scale introduced by the University in 2012. This new scale is described here: http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2012/FACS/UnIn/UARe/Grad.html h. We will post the results (i.e. scores) of your multiple-choice mid-term tests on the course web site by ID number, or possibly in a Moodle site. Your final course grade will be in your on-line transcript very soon after the grades have been submitted to Records Services in December. 7. Laboratory a. Laboratories start during the week of September 9-13. b. All students must be registered in a laboratory section to obtain credit for Chem 101. Students are responsible for assuring that they have completed this registration requirement before September 16th; students who are not registered for the laboratory by September 16th will be deregistered from the course.


c. The laboratory mark will be based on pre-lab assignments, lab quizzes, quality of technical performance, and laboratory reports. Further details are available in the Laboratory Manual and on the Chem 101 Lab website, http://web.uvic.ca/~dragon/101lab.html. In order to pass the course you must obtain a passing grade in the laboratory component and complete at least 70% of the laboratory work. d. Laboratory credit may be allowed for students who have successfully completed the laboratory within the past three years. Credit is provided for only one subsequent attempt. Students applying for laboratory credit from previous years must email the First Year Senior Lab Instructor, Monica Reimer and request laboratory credit from the previous year. See http://web.uvic.ca/~dragon/101lab.html for the information required. If past lab credit is denied, the student must immediately register in a lab section. All labrelated questions should be directed to Ms. Reimer ([email protected]). 8. Midterm Tests and the Final Examination Students will be responsible for material covered in the lectures in addition to the relevant chapters of the course textbook. You are expected to adhere to the academic regulations of the University of Victoria, particularly with regard to scholarly integrity. Please review the Academic Regulations section of the University Calendar with particular attention to the section of Plagiarism and Cheating: http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2013/FACS/UnIn/UARe/PoAcI.html Midterm tests take place outside of regular class time, namely 5-6pm on Friday October 18 and Friday November 22. A few students will have an academic class that runs until 5:30 PM. These students must identify themselves to their instructors prior to the midterm day. a) Midterm Test Schedule and Locations: Midterm Test 1: Friday, October 18, 5-6 PM Midterm Test 1 will be written in these rooms. A01, CRN 10414 (Dr. McIndoe): Science Building (Bob Wright Centre(BWC)) (SCI B150) A02, CRN 10415 (Dr. McIndoe): MacLaurin A144 (David Lam Auditorium) (MAC A144)* & BWC A104 A03, CRN 10416 (Dr. Briggs): Engineering Computer Science Bldg. (ECS 123) *Note that our Chem 101 booking for Mac A144 ends at 6:00pm, at which time we must clear the room for the next booking. The test must start exactly at 5:00pm and end exactly at 6:00pm. Students from Section A02 will be instructed about which of the two rooms they are to write their test in. Midterm Test 2 Friday, November 22, 5-6 PM Midterm Test 2 will be written in these rooms. A01, CRN 10414 (Dr. McIndoe): Science Building (Bob Wright Centre) (SCI B150)** A02, CRN 10415 (Dr. McIndoe): David Turpin (SSM) A120 and Bob Wright (BWC) Sci A104 A03, CRN 10416 (Dr. Briggs): Engineering Computer Science Bldg. (ECS 123)** **Note that our Chem 101 bookings for SciB150 and for ECS 123 end at 6:00pm, at which time we must clear the room for the next booking. The test must start exactly at 5:00pm and end exactly at 6:00pm. Students from Section A02 will be instructed about which of the rooms they are to write their test in. You must bring your student ID for both midterm tests. Midterm tests will be composed entirely of multiple choice-type questions. Midterm test and quiz due dates may be changed if needed. b) Final Exam: The final examination will be scheduled by the Office of the Administrative Registrar during the examination period, which is December 7th to 20th inclusive. You must not make end of term travel plans prior to the publication of the final examination schedule, usually in early October. Requests for rescheduled exams will not be granted. Requests for deferred exams (usually written in early January) may be granted for medical or equivalent personal reasons ONLY, not because of your travel plans. 9. Timed On-Line Quizzes Graded Quizzes will be done on-line using the Mastering Chemistry tutorial and homework platform from the publisher of our text. Details are on the course web site and in the front of your Lecture Notebook.


Although you may complete suggested homework assignment problems with your study group, you are expected to work the timed on-line Graded Quizzes individually. There is an ungraded practice quiz available early in the term so that you can try out the system and check your computer’s compatibility. The quizzes can also be done in a University computer lab. There are eight on-line quizzes. You are required to complete them according to a schedule of deadlines published on the course web site and on the Mastering Chemistry site. That is, the due deadline for a given Graded Quiz is included as part of the name/title of that quiz in Mastering Chemistry. It is to your advantage to do the quizzes well before the deadline. 10. iClicker participation To receive clicker participation points, students must bring their own clickers to class. The website of UVic Learning Systems provides information on iClickers, including how to register your clicker: http://elearning.uvic.ca/iclicker/students You must obtain a UVic computer account (Netlink ID) to use the clicker system. Instructions for obtaining a Netlink ID and for doing the on-line quizzes are provided here: http://www.uvic.ca/systems/services/loginspasswords/netlinkid/index.php Clicker points will be based on participation in CHEM 101 classes on the following dates, depending on your section. However, clicker questions will be used in most lectures from the beginning of the course. A01: Sept. 19, 23, 26, 30; Oct. 3, 7, 10, 17, 21, 24, 28, 31; Nov. 4, 7, 18, 21, 25, 28 A02: Sept. 18, 24, 25; Oct. 1, 2, 8, 9, 16, 22, 23, 29, 30; Nov. 5, 6, 19, 20, 26, 27 A03: Sept. 18, 24, 25; Oct. 1, 2, 8, 9, 16, 22, 23, 29, 30; Nov. 5, 6, 19, 20, 26, 27 If you participate in clicker questions in 80% or more of the above 18 classes (i.e. in 14 or more classes), you will receive the maximum of 3% of your final grade. If you participate in fewer than 14 classes, you will receive the following prorated percentages: 13 classes: 2.8%, 12 classes: 2.6% 11 classes: 2.4% 10 classes: 2.1% 9 classes: 1.9 %

8 classes: 1.7% 7 classes: 1.5% 6 classes: 1.3% 5 classes: 1.1% 4 classes: 0.9%

3 classes: 0.6% 2 classes: 0.4% 1 classes: 0.2% 0 classes: 0%

11. Drop-in Centre A Chem 101 Drop-in Centre will operate in the second floor landing area of the Elliott laboratory wing. Watch for hours dedicated to lab help and separate hours for help with the lecture material. The schedules for this help centre will be posted on the Chem 101 website and prominently on the second floor landing of the Elliott laboratory wing. A chemistry instructor or a graduate student teaching assistant (TA) will be available to answer questions. 12. Registration in Chem 231/232 (2nd year organic chemistry courses) Students are reminded that they may take Chem 231 (Introductory Organic Chemistry) in January 2014 upon successful completion of Chem 101, and may then take Chem 232 the following September (after completing Chem 102), thus completing the second year organic chemistry requirements “ahead of schedule” for students in biology and the health sciences. 13. Early Alert Program: University of Victoria Student Services and the Faculty of Science plan to

continue an Early Alert program in CHEM 101and some other courses. The goal of the Early Alert program is to support student success by identifying students who are at risk of doing poorly in this course. Based on mid-term test marks, we plan to offer extra support to these students. The support offered may include academic and/or non-academic support, depending on the needs of the student.


CHEMISTRY 101 FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMISTRY I (Properties of Materials) SYLLABUS (2013) The aim of this introductory chemistry course is to give you an appreciation and basic understanding of everyday functional materials (whether synthetic or natural). It is the shapes of molecules and the way they are assembled that give rise to the physical and chemical properties that lead to materials with specific functions. An understanding of atomic and basic molecular structures, and of the forces that hold molecules and atoms together, is essential for predicting the behaviour of materials. A solid grounding in these structural aspects of chemistry is the goal of Chemistry 101. Combined with Chemistry 102, this gives students an overview of Chemical Science and provides an introduction for further courses in chemistry. (The numbers and headings here refer to the Chapters as they appear in our new Chem 101 Custom textbook.) 0. INTRODUCTION (1-2 h).
