M 2-4 pm and W 1-3 pm
These are my official office hours, but I have an open door policy, so please stop by. I enjoy teaching
and talking to students, so if there is something that is unclear from class or from your reading, let’s talk
about it. If you stop by and I am not available, please call or email me and we can arrange an
appointment. (See also: GraffitI)

Grading
Your grade for this course will be weighted as follows using the
scale shown at right:
42% In-class exams (~7% each)
8% Check-In points, homework & other in-class assignments
25% Final Exam
25% Lab
It is the policy of the Chemistry Department that you must pass
both the laboratory and the non-laboratory (lecture and final)
portions of the course in order to pass Chemistry 121.
Course Materials
Text/ Silberberg, M. Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change, 4/e, McGraw-Hill: Boston,
2006.
Chemistry 121 Laboratory Manual (http://www.albion.edu/chemistry/abeilstein/121/F07/121L)
An approved notebook and safety goggles for your first laboratory session (both available from the
bookstore)
Tutorial
Tutorial sessions will be held weekly on Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday evenings from 7-9 pm in Norris 100.
These sessions are not required. However, I strongly urge you to take advantage of the tutorial
session. They will be led by Albion College students who can help you to grasp any material you might
be struggling with. This is a great place to work on homework problems and study for exams with other
interested students. The first tutorial for the fall semester will be held Tuesday evening, 21 August.
Check-In
Check-Ins are designed to help you study and think about the topics we will discuss in CHEM121. Each
assignment should take approximately 15-30 minutes. I will read and evaluate your replies prior to
each class meeting. Material on Check-In will be used to clear-up misconceptions, as a springboard
for class discussion, and as a feedback tool. Each Check-In page also includes a space for you to ask
questions about the material being covered in class.
There will be one Check-In prior to each class (except exam days) during the semester. You will
receive credit for having completing each Check-in not on the correctness of your answers, but on
the quality and thoroughness of your replies. Check-In responses are due by 6 a.m. the day of the
class meeting. Check-in assignments cannot be made up and will not be accepted late. When you
know that you will be absent from class, I urge you to complete the check-in assignment in advance.
Your three lowest check-in scores will be dropped before your check-in average is calculated.
