Teaching Methods: This course is a traditional course. Students are responsible for reading weekly lecture materials (textbook and lecture notes/slides) prior to coming to lecture. Lecture will be devoted to reinforcing individual learning through the use of Quizlet, WileyPlus, iRAT/tRAT quizzes, and collaborative discussions. Lecture resources are available on Blackboard and WileyPlus. During lab, a short review of the concepts essential for lab experimentation will be introduced. The remainder of the lab will be devoted to student experimentation, which will occur in teams of 3 or more students.

Evaluation Techniques: Reading quizzes will evaluate the level of understanding within each section of material covered while module testing serves as a tool for the evaluation of conceptual learning. Students will earn their grade in this course by the accumulation of points (please note that point totals may change throughout the semester with the addition of lecture/lab assignments). At the end of the semester, point totals for lecture and lab will be converted into percentages. Students can dispute any grade within two weeks of its posting on Bb or WileyPlus.

A = 90% or above B = 80% to 89% C = 70% to 79% D = 60% to 69% F = 59% or below

EVALUATION TECHNIQUES:

1. Lecture (~500 pts)

Lecture Exams: Three theory examinations, each worth ~100 points, will be given according to the schedule. These exams will consist of multiple choice, short answer and essay questions.

Final Exam: The final exam will be worth ~200 points. Bonus questions will be available on all lecture exams.

2. Laboratory (~150 pts)

The student will complete a laboratory report provided in the lab manual for each laboratory exercise. Attendance and participation is necessary to receive any credit for lab reports.

3. Homework/Classwork (~220pts)

4. Additional points may be awarded for short quizzes, bonus and homework or extra credit assignments and will be averaged into the final grade.

GRADING SCALE:Possible Points

Lecture Exams (4)~500

Lab Exercises~150

Attendance (4 sessions/week)~ 32

Homework/Classwork~220

~902 Total* (this is an approximation)

Final course grades are based on a percentage of the total points: A = 90 - 100 %, B = 80-89 %, C = 70-79, D = 60-69 % , F = 59 % or less

*approximately 10-15% additional bonus points will be available from bonus exam questions and exercises during the semester.

FALL 2014SYLLABUS (201510)

Attendance (Lab/Lecture): Students should not be late to lab/lecture. The door to the classroom is locked at the beginning of each lab. Points are given for attendance at the beginning of each lab/lecture and will be forfeited if the student is late or does not stay for the entire lab/lecture. Attendance on exam dates is required. No make-up exams are given.

Students are required to attend the lab they enrolled in and are not eligible to make up missed labs by attending a different section. Points will not be given for lab work if the student is not in attendance for the lab. PreLab Assignments should be completed prior to the laboratory period.Lab Reviews are due at the end of the lab period.No make up labs are available for this course. Anyone leaving lab early without being dismissed will not receive credit for the lab activity. Some lab models are available in the science/math lab for students to study outside of lab.

late assignments AND MAKE-up work: All weekly assignments are due as stated on the properties page of each WileyPlus and Blackboard assignment. Late assignments will not be accepted. No make-up work is offered for missed assignments or quizzes. Students are encouraged to participate in bonus opportunities listed above. Students having technical issues with Blackboard or WileyPlus within 24 hours of an assignment’s due date will not be given an extended due date for that assignment.

Please do not wait until the last minute to submit assignments. You are submitting items over the Internet. There are many things that can go wrong in the path between your computer and the WileyPlus/Blackboard course site. Your personal computer/Internet Service Provider issues are not acceptable explanations of late work. I do not accept late work.

Course Withdrawal: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Check theTCC Academic Calendarfor the deadline that applies to the course(s). Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member assigned to the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course ('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawal and/or change to an audit from a course after the drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for the current and future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student.I do not withdraw students for non-attendance or poor grades. An announcement will be posted and an email sent via Bb during drop week to notify students of the approaching date.

COMMUNICATIONS:

Email: All TCC students receive a designated TCC Outlook address (ex: ). All communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be sent to your TCC Outlook email address; and you must use TCC Outlook email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course. You can access TCC Outlook emailat or by clicking on the Outlook hyperlinks on the TCC homepage.

Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise, TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations.

This information is also posted on the TCC website ( You should register for TCC alerts to directly receive a text or voicemail regarding TCC cancellations. You can visit the “TCC Alerts” link at the very bottom of the home page (near the site map row) to enroll in TCC alerts.

GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS: General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge, and abilities that comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and personal lives. TCC’s General Education goals are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Engaged Learning, and Technological Proficiency.

CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE: Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and perspectives during classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher learning and to the ability to learn from each other. Use of any electronic device is at the discretion of the instructor. Cell phones are to be turned off (not vibrate) before class begins. If a cell phone rings or a student is found using a cell phone during class, you will be asked to leave. If a cell phone rings during a test, you will be asked to hand in your test and leave. Laptop use is a privilege and will be revoked if students are caught using a laptop for tasks other than taking notes or completing homework assignments. iPods are to be turned off during class and can not be used during a test. Classroom conduct that is not conducive to the learning environment will be dealt with on an individual basis and may involve removal of students from the learning environment for the remainder of the class period or semester. To be clear in what constitutes misconduct and unacceptable behaviors in the classroom, a list has been complied. Note: The following list is not all inclusive.

  • Repeatedly interrupting an instructor while he/she is lecturing or conversing with another student without first raising one’s hand and waiting until called upon.
  • Asking questions not pertinent to the topic of discussion.
  • Causing classroom disruptions by
  • walking out of the classroom abruptly or leaving the classroom multiple times
  • repeatedly talking during lecture
  • using an inappropriately raised voice
  • tardiness
  • distracting classmates
  • using approved electronic media in a manner not relevant to the lecture/lab such as texting and not be attentive to the class material
  • Displaying a lack of respect or courtesy to faculty or classmates through derogatory language, threatening or offensive words or behavior, or unwanted invasion of personal space.
  • Using a prohibited electronic device in the classroom (phone, calculated)
  • Working on material not related to this class.
  • Refusing to follow directions from faculty.
  • Intentional destruction of college property.
  • Influencing or attempting to influence another person to violate these misconduct policies.

At the college level, everyone enrolled in this course is considered an adult and as such you are expected to act accordingly. It is not my wish to have to remove anyone from the learning environment; however, if I feel any of the misconduct rules have been violated, you will be asked to leave the classroom for the remainder of the lecture/lab. A meeting between the instructor and student will occur before you are allowed to enter the classroom again. If you violate the rules of misconduct a second time, you will be removed from the course permanently. As stated in the syllabus, AWs are not given. The removal from the course will result in a grade being assessed at the end of the semester according to your scores earned on all assignments from week 1 to week 16. Tuition paid for the class will not be refunded, and failure to complete the course may have a negative impact on current and future financial aid. I want each student to be successful in this class and avoid these negative consequences of any continued inappropriate classroom behavior.

SYLLABUS CHANGES: Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes to the syllabus in writing.

DISABILITY RESOURCES: It is the policy and practice of Tulsa Community College to create inclusive learning environments. Accommodations for qualifying students in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act are available. To request accommodations, contact the Education Access Center (EAC) at or call (918) 595-7115 (voice). Deaf and hear of hearing students may text (918) 809-1864.

Academic accommodations will not be provided unless appropriate documentation is provided to the disabled student services offices to support the need.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:

  • Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test;
  • Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
  • Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class;
  • Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.

Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services.

Examples of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:

  • Submitting another’s work as one’s own or allowing another to submit one’s work a though it were his or hers;
  • Several people completing an assignment and turning in multiple copies, all represented either implicitly or explicitly as individual work;
  • Failing to contribute an equal share in group assignments or projects while claiming equal credit for the work;
  • Using a textbook, notes, or technology tools during an examination without permission of the instructor;
  • Receiving or giving unauthorized help on assignments;
  • Stealing a problem solution or assessment answers from a teacher or other student;
  • Tampering with experimental data to obtain “desired” results, or creating results for experiments not done;
  • Creating results for observations or interviews that were not done;
  • Obtaining an unfair advantage by gaining or providing access to examination materials prior to the time authorized by the instructor;
  • Tampering with or destroying the work of others;
  • Submitting substantial portions of the same academic work for credit or honors more than once without permission of the present instructor;
  • Lying about these or other academic matters;
  • Falsifying college records, forms or other documents;
  • Accessing computer systems or files without authorization;
  • Plagiarizing (see section below).
