Exams

Two midterm exams (Exams 1 and 2) will be administered during the course.  These exams will contain problems similar to those discussed in class and assigned from the text.  These exams are designed to take 60 minutes.  Because exams are promptly marked and returned to students, no make-up exams can be administered.  A missed exam will receive a score of zero.  The final exam is comprehensive and is designed to take about 110 minutes.  A missed final exam will receive a score of zero.  Please be on time.

Exam Supplies: Bring one or two number two pencils, a calculator, and a good eraser to each exam. YOU MUST BRING YOUR OSU CARD TO EACH EXAM AND PRESENT IT UPON COMPLETION OF THE EXAM.  This is your form of ID and YOUR EXAM WILL NOT BE GRADED WITHOUT IT.  If you bring notes, papers, or books to the exam, place them in a sealed pack and place the pack at the front of the classroom. You will be provided with a periodic table.

Text Problem Sets

Problems from the end of each chapter will be recommended. These problems will not be graded, however the exam questions may bear resemblance to them.  Also, note that the percentage of students who do well in the course without doing the problems approaches zero.

Mastering Chemistry

Problems from the software package Mastering Chemistry will be assigned.
