Associated Term: FALL 2017
Levels: UNDERGRADUATE MAIN CAMPUS Campus LECTURE/LAB Schedule Type Learning Objectives: IV.Student Learning Outcomes Students will: 1. Employ laboratory skills, including proper safety and emergency procedures. 2. Identify the capabilities and limitations of measurements. 3. Examine and perform a variety of chemical reactions and the equations used to describe them. 4. Collect and process numerical data. Interpret experimental results and draw conclusions from them.. Required Materials: III.Textbooks/Materials The following are required materials: • Exploring Chemistry: Chemistry 1492 Lab Manual • Students are also required to purchase splash goggles from the CNM Bookstore or other local supplier. (“Safety spectacles” are not sufficient protection. If in doubt, ask instructor.) • A scientific calculator is required. Scientific notation will be used in this course. Technical Requirements: V. Course Requirements/Attendance Compliance with Safety Agreement: Students are required to comply with CNM’s Safety Policy, including the wearing of safety goggles at all times in the laboratory required by the instructor and limiting unnecessary skin exposure to chemical contact (i. e., no shorts or sandals at any time). All students must view the Safety Video during the first lab period. Any student who is not present for the video during the first laboratory period must make arrangements with their instructor to view the video prior to working in the laboratory. Children and other visitors are not allowed in the laboratory due to possible hazardous conditions. Failure to comply with the conditions of the safety agreement may result in a grade of zero for the lab session or the student being dropped from CHEM 1492. Please be on time for lab. Important safety information is presented during the pre-lab session. Students who arrive late may not be allowed to work in the lab during that lab period. Dress Code: All CNM Student, Faculty and Staff are required to be properly clothed at all times while working in or attending Chemistry Lab Classes. Clothing must cover the body from the shoulders to the feet with No Exposed skin showing. Approved Safety Goggles will be worn by all personnel in the lab while chemicals or glassware are in use in the laboratory. High Heeled Shoes, Sandals and other open-toed footwear are not acceptable for foot protection. Wearing of short shorts, short skirts, short shirts, exposed midriffs, and t-top shirts are not allowed (shirts and tops must cover the torso). Lab coats that extend below the knees can be substituted as appropriate clothing, but they must be buttoned in front. Long hair will be confined. Students wearing inappropriate clothing will be directed to leave the laboratory and obtain safety appropriate attire. Attendance: According to CNM regulations, students enrolled for credit or audit are expected to attend all class sessions. Students who miss the equivalent of 15% of contact time may be dropped from the course by the instructor. Students must keep in mind, however, that it is ultimately their responsibility to withdraw from the course. Absences from class do not relieve students from responsibility for missed assignments, material covered in class or exams. It may be possible to make up a missed lab by attending another instructor’s lab, only during the week that particular experiment is offered. You must have permission from both instructors ahead of time. Due to safety requirements it may not be possible for an instructor to allow you to visit that particular section, and all instructors have the right to deny visitors. VI. Additional items Classroom Disruptionby Electronic Devices: In CNM classrooms and laboratories, all cellular telephones and pagers must be turned off or switched to silent or vibrator mode. Electronic entertainment devices are to be turned off and headphones removed. PaperCut: PaperCut is an element of the sustainability effort at CNM. Its purpose is to reduce paper usage. Each student has an online account with an allotment of 150 free printer pages per term. If this allotment runs out, additional pages may be purchased by the student. For more information, go to the PaperCut website: http://cnm.edu/papercut. Compliance with Honor Code: I understand that any work which I submit for course credit will imply that I have adhered to this Academic Honor Code: I will neither give nor receive unauthorized aid nor will I tolerate an environment which condones the use of unauthorized aid. The following will constitute violations of the honor code for Chemistry 1492 at CNM. 1. The use of any unauthorized aid (notes, tables, neighbors, etc.) during any examination or quiz. Only your instructor can authorize any aid. 2. The representation of any work done in consultation with another student, faculty member or any other person as solely one's own work. This does not preclude the pooling of data or other work in assigned laboratory or lecture groups as assigned by the instructor. 3. Bringing completed laboratory reports or data tables from prior semesters to laboratory for either submission or for reference. 4. Submission of assignments from prior semesters in place of current assignments. 5. Submission of a laboratory data table containing data for experiments not completed. 6. Plagiarism in any form in either lecture or laboratory assignments. 7. Students committing these offenses are subject to penalty ranging from a “0” on the assignment or test, to an “F” for the course. (CNM Catalog) View Catalog Entry
