The information on these pages has been updated, but assignment hints are available only through WebCT.

A. General Introduction

Students who enrol in Chemistry 1F92 should have at least two years of high school chemistry. Ontario students should have completed OAC or Grade 12 Chemistry with a mark of 70% or higher.

Topics are chosen to cover the fundamentals of chemistry, as well as to be as relevant as possible to those with majors in other scientific disciplines. Since there are wide variations in high school chemistry course content, and in depth of coverage, many of the topics covered in this course are similar to those in high school chemistry courses. What differs is the depth of coverage, the importance of laboratory work, and the stress on integrated learning. In Chemistry 1F92, it is necessary to retain knowledge of previous topics, and build on it, throughout the course. Note that ALL tests and examinations are cumulative and cover material from the beginning of the year.
 

There are two 90-minute midterm tests, a progress exam at Christmas, and a final examination. The 90-minute tests are scheduled to run on a Saturday (dates are in the lecture schedule). The midterm tests consist primarily of problems and short-answer questions. The progress and final examinations may include essay questions as well as problems and short-answer questions. All examinations are cumulative and may also include topics from the laboratory work.

Departmental Policy on Final Examinations A student must achieve a mark of at least 30% on the final examination in order to receive a passing mark in the course.
 

Students attend a lab every other week, according to the schedule. A completed experiment includes a submitted lab report. Students must complete at least 11 of the 12 labs in order to pass the course. If you miss an experiment, you will be allowed to make it up provided you have a valid reason for your absence from lab. A make-up lab will be scheduled.

Laboratory reports are due two working days after completion of the experiment. Day lab reports should be turned in by 5:30 p.m. on the 2nd day, in the report box outside E305. Night lab reports are due at noon on the third day.
 

There are weekly assignments in CHEM 1F92. Each student registered in the course will receive a package of assignments. No two assignments are the same. If you lose your assignments, there is a replacement charge of $1 for each assignment that must be reprinted.

Late assignments will not be accepted. There is no penalty for turning in assignments early!
