K Teaching and The course is based on class lectures and laboratory experiments. Class lectures are
Learning designed to help students develop problem solving skills and understand the material
Methodologies being emphasized in the textbook. Labs provide hands-on laboratory experience and
illustrate concepts that are being covered in the lectures. It is highly advisable, to get
the most out of each lecture, that one always read the appropriate sections before they
are discussed in class. The reading assignments will be announced during class time
and homework will be posted on ilearn. You can access Blackboard by typing

N Attendance Students are required to abide by AUS regulations regarding attendance. A student
should be in the class before his/her name is called by the instructor, otherwise the
student will be considered Absent. The student will be force withdrawn from the
course once he/she has five (5) Absents on his/her record. If a student misses an
exam due to illness, a valid medical report should be submitted to the instructor no later
than three days after the exam date. If the medical excuse was acceptable, the grade
will be obtained from the performance in other exams. A grade of Zero will be given
for any exam missed without an acceptable medical excuse. A student will be dropped
from the course once s/he has missed two exams, or two labs. There will be NO
makeup exams, quizzes or labs. All students are expected to strictly observe and
adhere to the standards of academic conduct as detailed in the Student Academic
Integrity Code.
O
Mobile Phone Students should ensure that mobile phones are switched off before entry to the
Policy classroom. If a mobile should ring while the class is in session, it could be impounded
and held for a period of time in the Chemistry Department office.
Failure to hide your mobile during exams or quizzes is an attempt of cheating.
P Student Plagiarism is a serious form of academic dishonesty and is not tolerated at this
Academic university. Students are expected to adhere to the Student Academic Integrity Code (as
Integrity Code published on p. 18 of the 2013-2014 Undergraduate Catalog).
