In order to keep track off your grades, a Grade Performance Sheet is available. Simply print off the form and fill it in with your grades or bring it to me (Dr. Draganjac), and I will give you your grades. Keep in mind this is a generic form to be used with all of Draganjac's classes. Federal Law prohibits discussion of your grade with anyone. Also grades cannot be given by e-mail or over the phone.
*Graphing Calculators are not permitted in CHEM1003, CHEM1013 or CHEM1023. A solar powered Texas Instrument Scientific Calculator (estimated cost - less than $15) is recommended. The simpler, the better. You need one to do multiple roots, logs and scientific notation. Other brands are acceptable but the student is responsible for learning the operational procedures. Cell phone calculators will not be allowed.
** 1) Students are responsible for the first 103 elements. Students must know the element's symbol, name and correct spelling of the name. 2) Student must know the name, formula and charge of the ions listed on the Cation/ Anion List.
Students who require academic
adjustments in the classroom due to a disability must first
register with ASU Disability Services. Following registration and
within the first two
weeks of class, please contact me to discuss appropriate academic
accommodation.
Appropriate arrangements can be made to ensure equal access to this course.
