UNIT DESCRIPTION Introduction Welcome to CHEM1002! This unit guide contains important information, and we highly recommend that you read it thoroughly at the start of the semester and remember that it exists and should be your first port of call throughout semester for providing answers on how the unit will be taught, assessed (including weightings), and the expected outcomes. The information provided here includes educational outcomes, assessment items and timings, and a schedule of lectures, laboratory experiments, and quizzes. You will also find the contact details of the unit coordinator, and other academics involved in teaching the unit. This outline is the currently available version for this unit. Detailed Information on unit content and assessment may undergo modification before the time of delivery of the unit. For the most up to date information students must consult material supplied to enrolled students by the unit co-ordinator.

Unit description and content This unit focuses on the chemical properties and description of matter at the level of atoms, molecules and chemical reactions. It comprises one half of the Level 1 units taken for a Chemistry major (along with CHEM1001), but also acts as a foundation unit for students in a variety of other majors. The unit introduces essential knowledge and principles in the areas of atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecular geometry and stereochemistry. It discusses the properties and elementary reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, alcohols, ethers, haloalkanes, aldehydes, ketones, amines and carboxylic acids and derivatives. The coverage includes important biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids as well as transition metal compounds. It provides an essential foundation for more advanced studies in these topics.

Unit Rules Prerequisites: WACE Chemistry 3A/3B or TEE Chemistry, or equivalent; or CHEM1003 Introductory Chemistry or CHEM1105 Introductory Chemistry Incompatibility: CHEM1102 Organic Chemistry, CHEM1103 Biological Organic Chemistry http://units.handbooks.uwa.edu.au/units/chem/chem1002

TEACHING AND LEARNING RESPONSIBILITIES Teaching and learning strategies The teaching and learning strategy for CHEM1002 is face to face for both lectures and laboratory sessions. There is an online component for the lecture-based and prelaboratory quizzes.

Charter of student rights and responsibilities This Charter of Student Rights and Responsibilities upholds the fundamental rights of students who undertake their education at the University of Western Australia. It recognises that excellence in teaching and learning requires students to be active participants in their educational experience. It upholds the ethos that in addition to the University's role of awarding formal academic qualifications to students, the University must strive to instil in all students independent scholarly learning, critical judgement, academic integrity and ethical sensitivity. Please refer to the website the full charter of student rights and responsibilities, located at http://www.secretariat.uwa.edu.au/home/policies/charter

ASSESSMENT OF PRACTICAL WORK Experiments contain online pre-work questions that are to be answered prior to the laboratory class. Failure to complete your pre-work before the laboratory session will result in loss of marks. Each quiz will be open the week before the date of the lab and you will have two attempts at each quiz. Your highest grade will be recorded. The online quiz is worth 1 mark out of 10 for each lab. The practical worksheets are worth 9 marks out of 10 for each lab. The laboratory component is worth 25% of the unit grade. Dates for online pre lab quizzes: 

Experiment 1: Acids and Bases: 1st-9th March



Experiment 2: Molecular Models: 15th-23rd March



Experiment 3: Aromatic Chemistry: 5th-13th April



Experiment 4: Addition to C=O: 19th-27th April



Experiment 5 and 6: Acids and Esters: 3rd-11th May

Please note that experiment 6 does not have a pre lab quiz, therefore, the grade for the practical work is worth the full 10 marks. Students that are repeating the unit but have already passed the laboratory component can apply for laboratory exemption. Students in this situation will need to email the coordinator of first year studies ([email protected]) and apply. The due date for application is by the end of week 3. If successful, your grade for the laboratory from a previous year will be used as your grade for this year. LMS-LECTURE BASED QUIZZES All quizzes can be accessed from the Course Content (weekly folders) page under Unit Material on the CHEM1002 LMS website. Each assessed quiz can be completed once. You will be given online practice quizzes to prepare for the assessed quiz. Practice quizzes can be attempted multiple times and feedback will be given on your answers.

Ethical Scholarship, Misconduct

Academic

Literacy

and

Academic

Ethical scholarship is the pursuit of scholarly enquiry marked by honesty and integrity. Academic Literacy is the capacity to undertake study and research, and to communicate findings and knowledge, in a manner appropriate to the particular disciplinary conventions and scholarly standards expected at university level. Academic misconduct is any activity or practice engaged in by a student that breaches explicit guidelines relating to the production of work for assessment, in a manner that compromises or defeats the purpose of that assessment. Students must not engage in academic misconduct. Any such activity undermines an ethos of ethical scholarship. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to cheating, or attempting to cheat, through:  Collusion  Inappropriate collaboration  Plagiarism  Misrepresenting or fabricating data or results or other assessable work  Inappropriate electronic data sourcing/collection  Breaching rules specified for the conduct of examinations in a way that may compromise or defeat the purposes of assessment. Penalties for academic misconduct vary according to seriousness of the case, and may include the requirement to do further work or repeat work; deduction of marks; the award of zero marks for the assessment; failure of one or more units; suspension from a course of study; exclusion from the University, non-conferral of a degree, diploma or other award to which the student would otherwise have been entitled. Refer to the Ethical Scholarship, Academic Literacy and Academic Misconduct policy.

Appeals against academic assessment If students feel they have been unfairly assessed, they have the right to appeal their mark by submitting an Appeal Against Academic Assessment form to the Head of

School of Molecular Sciences

School and Faculty Office. The form must be submitted within twenty working days of the release of the formal result. It is recommended that students contact the Guild Education Officers to aid them in the appeals process. They can be contacted on +61 8 6488 2295 or [email protected]. Full regulations governing appeals procedures are available from Academic Policy Services, available online at http://www.aps.uwa.edu.au/home/policies/appeals

UNIT RESOURCES Learning Management System (LMS) www.lms.uwa.edu.au (or unit website) All enrolled students will need to access the unit website. This site will be used for accessing online quizzes, notices, posting of supplementary course materials, email and discussion. It is strongly recommended that you log onto this site on a regular basis. The website should be used for all remote communication to the unit coordinator (in preference to direct emails). Students are encouraged to pose questions about course content on the discussion forum of the site so that all class members can view and contribute to the discussion. For assistance with the LMS select the “LMS Help: STUDENTS” link at www.lms.uwa.edu.au or contact SISO at [email protected] or 6488 3814 or in person at the Reid Library and the Science Library Or, browse answers online anytime or ask a question through askUWA available at: http://ipoint.uwa.edu.au In addition to the LMS site, the textbook publishers are making available their OWL Online Web Learning website (http://www.cengage.com/owl) for use by students enrolled in this unit. OWL will be used for some of the quiz material. All students will be able to access OWL via links on the LMS site

Lecture Capture The lectures will be captured and made available on the LMS. This content includes the audio of the lecture, the PowerPoint overheads, and also the lecture camera which will be used for demonstrations and worked examples on the whiteboard.
