These objectives will be assessed by exam questions, terminology, study area quiz, assignment from mastering chemistry and written laboratory report. It is encouraged to start your weekly activities by understanding “terminology’, which will be followed by reading corresponding units in the textbook. You will continue working on “Study Area” quiz and Review Questions, and homework assignments from mastering chemistry. Finally, you will perform the lab experiments. These steps are written in order under “Things to do” in all the weekly activities.
EVALUATION PROCEDURE: 1. Lab Grades: This online course of Chem. 1405 uses the “Wet Lab” experiences from Hands-on lab, Inc. For the first five labs, students use the basic laboratory conceptual practice using Pearson published laboratory manual. After completion of five labs from Pearson published lab manual, students will use their purchased lab kits for the “Wet Lab” experiences and perform real chemical experiments using chemicals and standard techniques, in the convenience of their house.
To ensure the credibility of the lab portion of this course, students will be asked to submit their picture showing their face at one or two specific steps of each experiment along with the data as reflected in their report. The specific steps where they need to submit their picture are well- written in the attached report form in the corresponding experiment on campus. Lab grades will be earned from their completed lab reports. These reports have to be hyped in Microsoft office word and upload on campus in order to be graded, unless otherwise specified (Hand Written lab Report Will not be Accepted).
You must use the report attached on campus under the folder “Lab #” of each week activities, and not the one that comes on the CD from Labial. You will get ZERO SCORE if you won’t use REPORT FORMAT UPLOADED on campus under the “Lab #”. However, to synthesize the conclusion and discussion of your result in the report, you can use “Lab Report Assistant” that comes in the CD with the KC-I kit from Labial. The “Lab Report Assistant” can also be found on campus under “Start Here” button. The CD also has the introduction, safety enforcement agreement and the procedure to perform the lab.
You have to sign; scan, and upload the safety agreement in the first week of the semester. Students have to upload the report on campus after the completion. The instructions on “how to upload” the report can be found in campus menu under the “Start Here” button. Students can purchase the lab kit, Labial KC-FEE, from Hands-on contain the manual of the experiments on CD. Students CANNOT PASS this course with a failing lab grade. A score of 70% or better and completion of 8/1 1 labs (cannot sis more than 3 labs) is required to pass the lab portion of this course.
The lab reports has to be uploaded on campus by 1 1. 30 pm on the specific due date found on the course calendar. Late lab reports will be accepted but they will drop by 25% for each day the reports are late. Students are encouraged to read the helpful suggestions after they read the procedures on the CD and before they do the experiments. Similarly, it is advised them to complete the lab as early as they can and do not wait until the last minute. The lab schedules are found under the weekly activity for each week. 2. Weekly Activities: These are located under “Course Contents” button in campus.
Every week the learning items are placed in the following order. 1. Things to do: Helps to figure out the things to do quickly 2. Learning Objectives: Helps to focus on the goals to learn units of the chapter 3. Powering: Gives you the main direction of concepts for each chapter 4. Terminology: It is a quick guide to know the definition and brief concepts of the topics 5. Study Area Quiz 1 &2 (www. Misinterpretation. Com/study area) & Key Concept 6. Assignment (www. Misinterpretation. Com/study area) 7. Lab report: Attached on the”Lab #” folder. The lab manual is KC-FEE from www. Labial. Com 8.
