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.
The use of graphing calculators or calculators with extended memory is not allowed on exams. The calculator must be able to do scientific notation, multiple roots and natural logarithms. Cell phone calculators will not be allowed.
Students are responsible for the names and symbols for the elements (element list). Students are also responsible for knowing the ions posted on the web (list of ions).
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.
