Analytical Chemistry

CHEM 3310K

Fall 2006

 

Purpose

This is an introduction to concepts and techniques of modern analytical chemistry.

 

Learning Outcomes

  • To develop an appreciation for errors and measurements and how to live with them.
  • To develop problem solving skills and conceptual understanding of equilibria.
  • To be introduced to the analytical concepts and applications of electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and chromatography.

Laboratory

The laboratory will have its own syllabus.  It will contribute 20% toward the final average in the course.

 

Homework

Homework will be assigned, collected, and checked for completeness.  Your homework must be stapled and legible when turned in.

 

Attendance Policy

You are expected to be present and prepare for each class meeting.  Due dates for Homework and examinations are scheduled and will not be moved.  No late work will be accepted and no make-up exams will be given.

 

Academic Dishonesty

The Honor Code of the University of West Georgia is in effect.  Any infractions will be mediated through this process.

 

Grades

Your course average will be calculated as follows:

 

(Exam Average x 0.7) + (Homework Average x 0.1) + (Laboratory Average x 0.2) = Course Average

 

90% - 100%                A

80% - 89%                  B

70% - 79%                  C

60% - 69%                  D

0% - 59%                    F
