| Course Description |
|
| Put on your safety goggles and tour the chemistry course by applying concepts to industrial environments. Students will work through the Nuclear Power Plant to study the atom, travel through the Water Treatment Plant to study properties of matter, and move through several other industrial buildings to complete their study of chemistry. The purpose of this course is to study the composition, properties, and changes associated with matter. Laboratory investigations of selected topics in the content, which also include the use of scientific method, measurement, laboratory apparatus, and safety procedures, are an integral part of this course. |

| Grading Policy |
|
Grades will be based upon the quality of the student submissions, participation in discussions, and the ability to maintain consistent communication with the instructor. The grading scale that is used for this course is as follows:
A 90-100
B 80-89
C 70-79
D 60-69
F 59 or below
All forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, furnishing false information, forgery, alteration or misuse of documents or software, and misconduct during a testing situation. Any student cheating on an exam will receive a zero on the exam and may be withdrawn from the class at the instructor's discretion. |

| |
| Communication / Participation Requirements |
|
Only through continuous communication can students be successful in an online course. Within each course the instructor outlines the weekly minimum work requirements. It is essential that the student and instructor maintain regular contact. Failure to complete assignments on a consistent basis will result in students being removed from the course. |
