Grade Determination

� based on Course Avg (%) = for CHEM 101 (0.25 x Lab%) + (0.10 x Quiz%) + (0.20 x MidTerm%) + ( 0.45 x Final%) for CHEM 103 (0.20 x Lab%) + (0.11 x Quiz%) + (0.215 x MidTerm%) + ( 0.475 x Final%) � then a grade is assigned acc. to general University Guidelines

Teaching & Learning Styles

Teaching � material mostly on O/H � lectures organized by topics � each lecture will have title sheet listing main topics reference pages set of problems advanced reading note � lecture notes will be posted on the Internet, before the actual lecture (for the time being). � ~ 10 sets of HMWK will be posted on the internet (do on your own, no handing in, no grading ...) Teaching Philosophy: Strive for: structure, organisation, conciseness clarity & simplicity ~ 1 - 2 weeks before exams I provide: checklist of topics extra practice questions practice exam c/w answers

0-15

Learning � attend lectures & take/ supplement notes � engage instructor if can't follow (+/–) � review/ improve notes ~ weekly (using textbook, internet, ....) � Do Suggested Problems and HMWK in Timely Manner � clarify difficulties by discussion with classmates, TA's, HT ...... � before exams - prepare lecture summaries ( e.g., cue cards .....) - work on checklist, practice exam N.B.: trying to do everything 2 or 3 days before the exam will not work !!!
