Quizzes: There will be four 20-point quizzes given in recitation on dates to be announced. The lowest
quiz grade will be dropped.
Homework and recitation participation: Assigned homework problems relevant to each lecture topic
are given on the lecture schedule. Your solutions to the assigned problems will be collected in recitation
on the dates indicated and credit will be given for a conscientious effort to complete them. Credit will
also be given for active participation in recitation activities.
Grading: There will be a total of 500 points possible in the course, distributed as follows:

Long-Range Learning Goals: At the end of this course, you should




have a solid understanding of the basic principles and techniques of classical thermodynamics,
statistical thermodynamics, and kinetics, which you should be able to apply in future studies and
in your career in science or a related field.
be able to apply your knowledge of thermodynamics/kinetics to physical transformations,
chemical reactions, phase and chemical equilibria, and solutions.
have an enhanced ability to use mathematics, particularly calculus, as a tool to solve complex
chemical and physical problems, starting from first principles.
have enhanced analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills.
Study Tips: Your performance in Chem 327 will greatly be enhanced by doing the following:
1. Attend lecture regularly. In lecture, I will emphasize important topics, clarify difficult points, and do
sample problems similar to those on quizzes and exams.
2. Make a serious effort to solve all the assigned problems before they are due in recitation. Many quiz
and exam problems will be similar to homework problems.
3. Attend and actively participate in recitation each week. Recitation will provide many opportunities to
master important concepts and improve your problem-solving skills.
4. Keep up with the course assignments. Experience has shown that students who get seriously behind
are rarely able to catch up and do well in the course.
Course Website: You are encouraged to make maximum use of the Chemistry 327 website, which is
accessed through the sakai portal at https://sakai.rutgers.edu/portal. (Login using your netID and
password, then choose 01:160:327:F14.) The website features copies of lecture notes, course handouts,
and practice exams, plus an announcements board for posting of course announcements. The lecture
notes, practice exams, and most of the handouts are pdf files. To read them you must have Adobe
Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded (free) from the Adobe website http://www.adobe.com. You
are responsible for checking the announcements board regularly for important course announcements.
Academic Integrity: All University policies on academic integrity will strictly be enforced. Any
cheating on quizzes, exams, or other assignments or any facilitating of academic dishonesty by others
will be dealt with promptly in strict accordance with the Rutgers University Academic Integrity Policy.
A copy of the current Academic Integrity Policy, which went into effect on September 1, 2013, can be
found at
http://studentconduct.rutgers.edu/files/documents/AI_Policy_2013.pdf
Please read the policy carefully if you are not familiar with it.
