Overview

Grading

It is my policy in all my classes to penalize with course failure anyone who engages in "academic dishonesty." Academic dishonesty includes, among other offenses, plagiarism of the writing of others, cheating on exams, falsification and fabrication of data, and submitting the assignments or papers of others as your own.

Lab Meetings

Attendance is required at all lab and lecture sessions.

Textbooks

Required Supplies

Identikey, Internet Access and E-mail

You will be making extensive use of the Chemistry Department's computer lab, the Internet, Worldwide Web, and E-mail. Be sure that you have a valid CU Identikey password and working email account. For more information see:

1) IDENTIKEY: A Quick Start for Computer Users (http://www.colorado.edu/CNS/docs/identikey/)
2) Getting Started with Campus Technology (http://www.colorado.edu/ITS/gettingstarted/)

Laboratory Access and Use

The course requires you to spend time working in the department's Chemistry computer lab (Ekeley M299). You should plan to spend at least 4-5 hours in the laboratory every week, in addition to your time in lab/recitation. Please study the guidelines for using the computer laboratory which are available online. These rules will be enforced strictly during the semester and their violation will result in loss of laboratory privileges.

Disabilities Assistance

Any student eligible for and needing academic adjustments or accommodations because of a disability is requested to speak to Professor Foote no later than the end of the second full week of classes.

The College will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students should notify the Counselor for Students with Disabilities, Disability Services Office, located in Willard 322 (phone 303-492-8671) and their instructors of any special needs. If you have specific physical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities and require accommodations, please let me know early in the semester so that your learning needs may be appropriately met. You will need to provide documentation of your disability to the Disability Services Office in Willard 322 (phone 303-492-8671).

This University abides by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which stipulates that no student shall be denied the benefits of an education "solely by reason of a handicap." Disabilities covered by law include but are not limited to learning disabilities and hearing, sight or mobility impairments. If you have a disability that may have some impact on your work in this class and for which you may require accommodations, please see me or the Coordinator of Services to students with disabilities in the Disability Services Office, Willard 322 (phone 303-492-8671), so that such accommodations may be arranged.

I encourage students with disabilities, including non-visible disabilities such as chronic diseases, learning disabilities, head injury and attention deficit/hyperactive disorder, psychiatric disabilities, to discuss with me, after class or during my office hours, appropriate accommodations.

Religious Observances

If conflicts arise between class meetings, assignment deadlines, or examinations and holidays or celebrations observed by your religion, please notify me, Professor Foote, during the first two weeks of the semester so that suitable schedule accommodations can be made.
