Lectures will be delivered live and remotely via an online platform (Webex, Zoom etc). The online platform will be announced via e-
mail at the beginning of the semester. All students must attend to the section for which they are registered unless otherwise mentioned.
Office hours for each section will also be announced by the lecturer at the beginning of the semester.
Course Materials
• Book: Chemistry the Central Science by Theodore L. Brown et.al., Pearson/Global Edition; 13th or 14th edition or any General
Chemistry Book available in the Library. Laboratory videos: http://ocw.metu.edu.tr/course/view.php?id=99.
• A scientific calculator (graphing calculators are not allowed on exams)
• Computer with high speed internet access
• Web camera and microphone
Attendance Policies
70% attendance is required. The best place for learning is the classroom. Past experience has shown that the students who attended the
classes regularly during the semester received higher grades at the end of the semester. Moreover, we may cover additional material in
the class that is not covered in the textbook. Therefore, we, as the instructors of CHEM 112 strongly encourage you to attend the classes
regularly.
Grading Policy
First Midterm April 17th, Saturday 10.00 am 25%
Second Midterm May 29th, Saturday 10.00 am 25%
Final To be announced 40%
Laboratory quiz Every other week 10%
All sections will take common exams. Most of the exams will be over the material that is covered since the last exam. However, the
course builds on the material that has been delivered earlier. So, the concepts; calculations and techniques from earlier exams may be
required. The final exam will cover the work of the entire semester. Exams will be comprehensive and multiple-choice.
The exams will be given online through ODTUCLASS. During the exams you will be required to open your webcams, and identify
yourself by presenting an appropriate ID. You will also be also required to find a quiet location with a strong and stable internet
connection where you can be alone. Use of books, notebooks, cell phones, smart watches and text messaging devices is prohibited
during the exams and quizzes.
Laboratory: You will explore 6 laboratory experiments (10 points each) remotely using videos, and handouts during the semester. You
will be required to take an on-line post-lab quiz designed to test how well you understood the experiment and the materials covered.
The quizzes will be given every other week, and the schedule will be announced at the beginning of the semester. If you receive “0”
from 2 experiments, you will not be allowed to take the final exam and you will get NA grade from the class. If you have a passing
grade for the lab from the previous years, then you have to retake the lab section of this course this semester. Please contact the lab
coordinator Akif Şafaklı ([email protected]) for your all laboratory related inquiries.
Make-Up Exams: There will be only 1 make-up exam at the end of the semester covering all the chapters. If you would like to attend
to the make-up exam, please submit a copy of your medical report as soon as possible to your instructor via email.
Copyright Notice: All materials provided through participation in this course are protected by Copyright Law. These materials are only
for the use of students enrolled in this course for purposes associated with this course and may not be retained or further disseminated.
Cheating Policy: Academic honesty is required and any violation with be dealt with according to the Middle East Technical University
Policy. You will be held to the highest standards of integrity and in the case of a misconduct, it will be taken seriously through whole
semester. In the case of a misconduct (cheating), you will automatically receive an F grade for the entire course and will be reported
to “Dean of Faculty of Engineering”.
NA Grade:
1. If you receive “0” from 2 experiments, you will not be allowed to take the final exam and you will get NA grade. Keep in mind that
a student can take maximum 2 make-ups, if he/she has a medical report.
2. If you do not take the final exam, you will get NA grade. The final exam is required for every student who wants to receive credit for
this course.
3. If you miss one of the midterm exams and the make-up exam, you will get NA grade.
