Course Rationale
General Chemistry 1 is a four-credit course that is the first of a two-semester course in General
Chemistry. General Chemistry is intended for students of chemistry, biology, physics, engineering,
physical therapy, occupational therapy, and related disciplines. The pre-requisites for this course are
successful completion of MAT 009 or the equivalent and successful completion of CHM 001 or the
equivalent.
Required Materials
1. Textbook: Chemistry, 9th edition, Raymond Chang, 2007, ISBN 0-073-50153-0 from the bookstore.
This purchase includes the textbook, Student Solutions Manual, and ARIS Access Card.
2. Laboratory Manual: Available online at:
http://www.kingsborough.edu/academicDepartments/PHYSCI/index.html
3. Safety glasses or goggles
4. Scientific calculator
5. USB flash drive or 3-1/2 inch diskette
Grading Procedure
Grades are calculated from a weighted average of exams, quizzes, lab scores, and the final exam.
Exams and Quizzes 40%
Laboratory performance 25%
Final exam 35%
TOTAL 100%
To calculate your course performance (in percentage) use the following equation:
Overall % = 0.40(exams and quizzes %) + 0.25(lab %) + 0.35(final exam %)
Once you have calculated an overall percentage you can use the following table as a guide to determine
your grade.
A = 90-100 %, B = 80-89 %, C = 70-79 %, D = 60-69 %, F = 0-59 %

Academic Integrity
Each student in this course is expected to abide by the City University of New York Code of
Academic Integrity. Any work submitted by a student in this course for academic credit will be the
student's own work. You are encouraged to study together and to discuss information and concepts
covered in lecture and the sections with other students. You can give "consulting" help to or receive
"consulting" help from such students. However, this permissible cooperation should never involve one
student having possession of a copy of all or part of work done by someone else, in the form of an e mail,
an e mail attachment file, a diskette, or a hard copy.
Should copying occur, both the student who copied work from another student and the student
who gave material to be copied will both automatically receive no credit for the assignment. Penalty for
violation of this Code can also be extended to include failure of the course and University disciplinary
action.
During examinations, you must do your own work. Talking or discussion is not permitted during
the examinations. Comparing papers, copying from others, sharing calculators, or collaboration in any
way is prohibited during examinations. Any collaborative behavior during the examinations will result in
failure of the exam, and may lead to failure of the course and University disciplinary action.
