III.

Course Prerequisite Co-prerequisites: CHM 2200 or CHM 2210

IV.

Course Purpose This lab has been designed to complement the Organic Chemistry I course. It will enable you to apply concepts introduced in Organic Chemistry I, which introduces fundamental concepts including structure, melting point, distillation, extraction, chromatography, stereochemistry, synthesis of organic compounds, and reaction mechanisms of the major classes of organic compounds.

V.

Instructor Contact Information and Communication You can contact me through CANVAS or send me email:[email protected] If needed then immediately I will arrange online meeting through CANVAS and talk to you.

VI. First Day and First Week Attendance Policy First Day attendance will be recorded based on whether you completed the discussion “Introduce Yourself” by 11:59PM on May 18 (the first day of class). First week attendance will be based on your completion of the meeting time poll and the syllabus quiz by Friday 11:59 PM of the first week. VII.

How to Succeed in this Course Students do best in online courses when they stay engaged with the material, the instructor and their peers. Here are some of the best ways to accomplish this: 1. Read the entire syllabus and know the structure of the course. 2. Attend all live sessions. Your instructor is making time to be present to give you directions for each lesson and to answer your questions. This is a great opportunity to get to develop a rapport with the instructor and forge a collegiality with your peers. 3. Read ahead. In your first week of the course, you will have a considerable amount to do; however, once you get your virtual lab course legs, it is advisable that you look ahead to the following week’s module by Sunday night. This is so you can come to the live session on Monday and present any questions you may have.

4. Once you have thoroughly read the material, feel free to email me with pointed questions. General emails with messages like “I don’t know how to graph” when the entire module is on graphing data are usually unproductive. It can be interpreted that you have not done the legwork before contacting the instructor. Be specific with your questions so that you instructor can hone in on your particular needs promptly. 5. Your time is precious, manage it well and space out your tasks for the week. If you wait until Sunday to begin the week’s module, you will be overwhelmed and the expectation that your instructor will be available to answer any burning questions on a Sunday is unrealistic. Try to do a bit of your work every day. 6. Pay attention to due dates. In a week’s module, you will find that the dates are staggered to help you with pacing. Quizzes will be due in the middle of the week; whereas, worksheets and full lab reports will be due by Sunday night. VIII.

Course Structure This is an online course. All the materials you need to do the labs will be found in the modules. Except for the first week of the course, you will complete one module per week. Each module has a master page with the following structure: 1. An introduction to the week’s activities 2. An explanation of the learning objectives of the activities 3. A list of the activities that must be done in sequential order, i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc, to complete the module. How is the learning process structured and carried out? Activities will include reading assignments and watching videos to prepare you to understand the chemistry concepts, recording and analyzing data, and preparing reports of your data analysis. Assessments will be varied depending on the nature of the module but generally will include quizzes, lab reports, and worksheets. There will be a live recorded session held every Monday. The meeting time for this session will be announced within the first two days of the course and they syllabus will be updated with the established meeting time as necessary. You are expected to attend 5 of the 8 live recorded session to earn the participation part of your grade. You earn 10 points for each attended session (live or recorded) for a total of 50 points.

XIII. Grade Categories and Weights Letter grades will be based on the following types of assessments: Assessment Quizzes Lab Report (all forms) Participation and Attendance Proctored Final Exam

Percent of Final Grade 12% 65% 9% 14%

Lab Reports (65%) Lab reports make up more than half of your final grade. Take them seriously. You will be submitting a couple forms of lab reports depending on the nature of the activities in each week’s module. For detailed explanation of each form, please refer to the Chemistry Lab Syllabus Addendum: “A Guide to Constructing your Lab Report”. You can find this document on the Syllabus page in Canvas. This handbook will be very helpful to you in crafting your lab reports. Use it. Quizzes (12%) Quizzes will often accompany experiments in which you will need to do some reading before completing the main exercise. They will be due in the middle of the week, primarily to keep you on pace and to allow you to have time to pose any questions you may have about the lab to the instructor. Participation (9%) An important part of this course is staying engaged with the material, your peers and your instructor. You will earn participation points for two types of activities: 1. Live/recorded sessions Attending live sessions or viewing recorded sessions. You must attend at least 5 of the live or recorded sessions. Each session is worth 10 points. 2. Discussion Posts Engaging in a meaningful discussion by making a substantial and relevant post. Cheerleading does not count. The post must discuss the subject matter of the module. You must submit a post to at least 5 of the discussion prompts. Each module will have a discussion prompt. This will allow you to communicate with you peers and possibly even get help with your work. Each post is worth 10 points. Proctored Final Exam (14%) The final exam is a proctored, closed-book exam administered via Proctorio. See the section on Online Proctoring for important details about testing via Proctorio. The final exam will be open for 48hrs, after which it will close. There will be no make-up exam. XIV. Instructor Feedback Policy & Grade Dissemination Your instructor will be responsive and available to discuss students' progress, course content, assignments, etc. at mutually convenient times from the first day of the term through the last day of the term. You will receive routine updates from the instructor via announcements, group email, 5

discussion board, live/recorded session, or headers on the class home page.) Instructor will respond to email communication relevant to the subject matter within 48 hours of the date received Monday to Thursday of each week. Refer to the instructor’s availability on the first page of this document. The instructor will provide feedback on assignments within one week of the posted deadline. Individual assignment marked - Within 7 days of due date At least every 7 days. You can access your scores at any time using "Grades" in Canvas. Students are expected to review carefully all graded assessments as soon as they are posted. All questions and/or perceived discrepancies in grading must be queried directly to the instructor within 5 calendars of the posting of the grade; after that time window, the grade for the particular assessment is considered final. Your final grade for the course will be available on the online student system (my.usf.edu) the day after grades are due.

Grades of "Incomplete": An Incomplete grade ("I") is exceptional and granted at the instructor’s discretion only when students are unable to complete course requirements due to illness or other circumstances beyond their control. The course instructor and student must complete and sign the "I" Grade Contract Form that describes the work to be completed, the date it is due, and the grade the student would earn factoring in a zero for all incomplete assignments. The due date can be negotiated and extended by student/instructor as long as it does not exceed two semesters for undergraduate courses and one semester for graduate courses from the original date grades were due for that course. An "I" grade not cleared within the two semesters for undergraduate courses and one semester for graduate courses (including summer semester) will revert to the grade noted on the contract. XVIII.Course Policies: Technology and Media (as applicable) Online Proctoring All students must review the syllabus and the requirements including the online terms and video testing requirements to determine if they wish to remain in the course. Enrollment in the course is an agreement to abide by and accept all terms. Any student may elect to drop or withdraw from this course before the end of the drop/add period. Online exams and quizzes within this course may require online proctoring. Therefore, students will be required to have a webcam (USB or internal) with a microphone when taking an exam or quiz. Students understand that this remote recording device is purchased and controlled by the student and that recordings from any private residence must be done with the permission of any person residing in the residence. To avoid any concerns in this regard, students should select private spaces for the testing. The University library and other academic sites at the University offer secure private settings for recordings and students with concerns may discuss location of an appropriate space for the recordings with their instructor or advisor. Students must ensure that any recordings do not invade any third-party privacy rights and accept all responsibility and liability for violations of any third-party privacy concerns. Setup information will be provided prior to taking the proctored exam. For additional information about online proctoring you can visit the online proctoring student FAQ. XIX. Course Policies: Student Expectations Course Hero Policy: The USF Policy on Academic Integrity specifies that students may not use websites that enable cheating, such as by uploading or downloading material for this purpose. This does apply specifically to CourseHero.com – any use of this website (including uploading materials) constitutes a violation of the academic integrity policy. Turnitin.com: 8

In this course, turnitin.com will be utilized. Turnitin is an automated system which instructors may use to quickly and easily compare each student's assignment with billions of web sites, as well as an enormous database of student papers that grows with each submission. Accordingly, you will be expected to submit all assignments in both hard copy and electronic format. After the assignment is processed, as instructor I receive a report from turnitin.com that states if and how another author’s work was used in the assignment. For a more detailed look at this process visit http://www.turnitin.com. Essays are due at turnitin.com the same day as in class. End of Semester Student Evaluations: All classes at USF make use of an online system for students to provide feedback to the University regarding the course. These surveys will be made available at the end of the semester, and the University will notify you by email when the response window opens. Your participation is highly encouraged and valued. Netiquette Guidelines: 1. Act professionally in the way you communicate. Treat your instructors and peers with respect, the same way you would do in a face-to-face environment. Respect other people’s ideas and be constructive when explaining your views about points you may not agree with. 2. Be sensitive. Be respectful and sensitive when sharing your ideas and opinions. There will be people in your class with different linguistic backgrounds, political and religious beliefs or other general differences. 3. Proofread and check spelling. Doing this before sending an email or posting a thread on a discussion board will allow you to make sure your message is clear and thoughtful. Avoid the use of all capital letters, it can be perceived as if you are shouting, and it is more difficult to read. 4. Keep your communications focused and stay on topic. Complete your ideas before changing the subject. By keeping the message on focus you allow the readers to easily get your idea or answers they are looking for. 5. Be clear with your message. Avoid using humor or sarcasm. Since people can’t see your expressions or hear your tone of voice, meaning can be misinterpreted. Email and Discussion Board Guidelines: 1. Use the subject line effectively by using a meaningful line of what your email or discussion is about. 2. Keep your emails and postings related to the course content. You should not post anything personal on a discussion board, unless is requested by the instructor. 3. Any personal, course or confidential issues should be directly communicated to the instruct...
