If you get a message that your account is blocked until you are fees arranged, then you should contact student accounts in Needles Hall. Your instructor may make use of the e-mail facility in Learn to contact you. It is your responsibility to ensure that you monitor the e-mail address linked to your account regularly. Useful information can also be found in the First Year Engineering website: http://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/current-undergraduate-students/first-year Textbook General Chemistry: Principles and Modern Applications, 10th Edition, 2010. R.H. Petrucci, F.G. Herring, J.D. Madura, and C. Bissonnette. Pearson Canada Inc., Toronto, Ontario. The previous edition (9th) is also acceptable, but the numbering of problems listed in the assignments may differ between the two editions. Secondhand copies of both new and old editions are readily available. If you purchase the textbook new from the bookstore, it will come bundled with Mastering Chemistry (a set of online problems and access to the e-textbook) and an iClicker voucher (a $10 mail-in rebate that also requires you to buy the clicker in the same transaction as the chemistry textbook); the bookstore has indicated that there is no additional charge for these beyond the regular textbook price. It is also possible to rent (note, not a permanent purchase) solely an electronic copy of the textbook at a significantly reduced price. However, you should be aware that you may not be able to return an etextbook for refund, that access is provided for a limited period only (your access will probably expire shortly after the end of term), and that you cannot later sell access to an e-textbook (while you could sell a physical copy of the textbook). If you are still interested, the electronic version is available at:

iClickers Some instructors make use of iClickers in this course. If you require an iClicker, your instructor will inform you of this on the first day of class.

Course Grading Regular grading scheme: Weekly tutorials Midterm exam Final exam TOTAL 10 25 (multiple choice) 60 (multiple choice) 100

Weekly assignments 5

YOU MUST PASS THE COMBINED EXAMINATIONS TO PASS THE COURSE The above marking scheme will apply provided an average of at least 50% is achieved in the combined mid-term and final. If your combined average in the examinations is below 50% (i.e., you score fewer than 42.5 out of the 85 marks available for the two examinations), then you will receive that mark instead. Alternative grading scheme used if the combined examinations are failed: Weekly tutorials Midterm exam Final exam TOTAL 0 25 (multiple choice) 60 (multiple choice) 85

Tutorials There are no ChE 102 tutorials in the first week of classes. Tutorials for ChE102 start the week of September 16th, 2013. Two-hour tutorials will take place every week with the following format: Hand in current assignment Distribution of marked material Discussion of any problems from any part of the course already covered Examples; anticipated difficulties with the assignment due in the next week Split into small groups to work on tutorial problems

The TA will be available to help you with the tutorial problems. Once you have completed the problems in your group, show your work to the TA to receive credit and then you will be able to leave. You may work in groups to solve the tutorial problems, but you must present individual solutions to the TA. Homework Assignments Homework assignments are provided to assist you in studying. You are strongly advised to complete the assignments. Assignments will be graded as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory by the TA. To be satisfactory, you must both make a serious attempt at all questions (you do not necessarily need to complete the question, but you must try it) and the submitted work must be neat, legible, and clearly presented. The assignments will not be marked in detail; solutions will be posted the following week. Solutions to the homework assignments and midterm will be posted on the course website during the following week they are due. You must submit your own personal, hand-written solutions to the assignments. If you have worked with a partner to solve the problem, you should separately prepare your solutions for submission. Examinations Examinations are multiple choice. Samples of previous examinations will be posted on Learn for you to practice on; the correct answers for these questions will be provided but not complete worked solutions. During exams (both midterm and final) students are allowed to consult one letter-sized (8 11) sheet of paper, either hand- or typewritten on both sides with any information they consider relevant for the examination. Students are also allowed to use calculators (any type). No other consulting material is allowed during exams. Locations: Practice Test: Midterm Exam: Final Exam: Room numbers will be announced nearer the date of each exam. Details will be provided by the first-year office. Friday, October 18, 2013, 4:306:00 pm (subject to confirmation). To be scheduled by the registrar during the final examination period.

Sources of Help Extra help sessions: A number of extra-help sessions will be scheduled weekly (times and locations to be announced) and run by a senior TA. These sessions are not mandatory. They are meant exclusively to help you with any questions you may have on the assignment or course material. Supported Learning Groups: These groups will meet regularly throughout the term. You will meet your Supported Learning Group (SLG) leader in class in your first ChE102 lecture. You can also find more information about your SLG help sessions by visiting the ChE102 Learn site and looking under Supported Learning Groups. WEEF TAs: these TAs are available to assist you throughout the term. For ChE102, you are advised to contact the following TAs (located in E2 1318): Olivia Kwik ofkwik@uwaterloo.ca Patwant Sandhu p5sandhu@uwaterloo.ca Adelle Vickery avickery@uwaterloo.ca Will Wilmot wrwilmot@uwaterloo.ca

Office hours: Your instructor and TA are available they will let you know how and when to contact them in the first week of classes and tutorials. Tutoring in residence: this will be advertised through your residence. Academic Offences These will not be tolerated (See examples from UW Policy #71 which is attached). On first offence, the offence will be reported to First Year Engineering and appropriate action will be taken. If you are unsure of what constitutes an academic offense in UW after reading Policy #71, please contact your instructor. Important Information about Academic Offences Academic integrity: In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of Waterloo community are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility. [Check the Office of Academic Integrity for more information.] Grievance: A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been unfair or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70, Student Petitions and Grievances, Section 4. When in doubt, please be certain to contact the departments administrative assistant who will provide further assistance. Discipline: A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity to avoid committing an academic offence, and to take responsibility for his/her actions. [Check the Office of Academic Integrity for more information.] A student who is unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about rules for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course instructor, academic advisor, or the undergraduate associate dean. For information on categories of offences and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy 71, Student Discipline. For typical penalties, check Guidelines for the Assessment of Penalties. 4

Appeals: A decision made or penalty imposed under Policy 70, Student Petitions and Grievances (other than a petition) or Policy 71, Student Discipline may be appealed if there is a ground. A student who believes he/she has a ground for an appeal should refer to Policy 72, Student Appeals. Note for Students with Disabilities AccessAbility Services, located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with AccessAbility Services at the beginning of each academic term.

Excerpts from University of Waterloo Policy #71 Student Academic Discipline Policy Original text available at: http://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policies-procedures-guidelines/policy-71 A university is a community of scholars in which knowledge is generated and disseminated through scholarship and teaching. All members of the community faculty, students and staff are bound to conduct themselves with honesty, integrity, fairness and concern for others. Any action which unnecessarily impedes the scholarly activities of members of the University is an offence punishable by appropriate disciplinary action. Academic offences Some of the academic offences outlined by the University include: Infringing unreasonably on the work of other members of the University community (disrupting classes or examination; harassing, intimidating or threatening others). Cheating on examinations, assignments, work term reports, or any other work used to judge student performance. Cheating includes copying from another students work or allowing another student to copy from ones own work, submitting another persons work as ones own, fabrication of data, consultation with an unauthorized person during an examination or test, and use of unauthorized aids. Plagiarism, which is the act of presenting the ideas, words or other intellectual property of another as ones own. The use of other peoples work must be properly acknowledged and referenced in all written material such as take-home examinations, essays, laboratory reports, work-term reports, design projects, statistical data, computer programs and research results. The properly acknowledged use of sources is an acceptable and important part of scholarship. Use of such material without complete and unambiguous acknowledgement, however, is an offence under this policy. Submitting an essay, report, or assignment when a major portion has been previously submitted or is being submitted for another course without the express permission of all instructors involved. You should also consult the course responsibilities webpage of the First Engineering Office: http://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/current-undergraduate-students/academic-support
