CHEM102W

CHEM 102W is a web-based chemistry designed for General Education and Health Science Majors.  For specific items covered, please see the syllabus.  This course is self paced and not recommended for the student with poor self discipline traits.  The course will be conducted as a series of Powerpoint lectures, which will be hosted on my CHEM 102 web page.  These lectures will follow the text book (General Chemstry by Timberlake)  listed in the syllabus.  Additionally, we will use WEB CT for student-student and student-instructor interactions.  I plan to use the discussion board on WEB CT as a tool for discussions, questions and answers. Students are encouraged to communicate with each other.  Please use the following pathway for questions, prior to contacting me directly, so that we can achieve class bonding that accompanies regular courses.  The sequence for Q&A will be student-student contact first, followed by class-instructor discussion (Virtual Lecture Hours), followed by student-instructor individual questions (Virtual Office Hours) that were not answered during the general discussion times, or you may need clarification .  Tests will be posted in a timely fashion on the Test tool of WEB-CT.  Tests will be graded instantly and may be taken as many times as necessary to pass.  The following test will not open until a grade of 70 is achieved.  Please note individual test item instructions, for instance, the number of decimal places.  WEB CT is unforgiving and your answer, although correct, will be marked wrong.  WEB CT also uses randomization of test questions, so you may not receive the same questions with successive exams.  Outside assignments may be used.  These will be posted on each student's white board.
