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.

Graduate students will do a 15 page typed paper and a 30 minute presentation (200 total points)

Course will cover Atomic Structure, Covalent and Ionic Bonding, Symmetry and Point Groups, Acid-Base Chemistry, Coordination Chemistry, and (time permitting) one or all of the following topics: Organometallics, Reaction Mechanisms, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Main Group and Noble Gas Chemistry or the chemistry of the f-Block elements.

Make-up policy:  There will be no make-up exams.  The final will replace any missed exam score.
