1.2 Course Introduction


This is a rst year chemistry course for students enrolled in B Pharmacy or B Dental Science. Completion of this course will develop your knowledge in
structures, reaction mechanisms and reactivity through bonding theory and introductory organic chemistry. Learning then progresses to consider the
chemistry of molecules that possess the carbonyl group functionality, which leads into discussions of bio-organic molecules (molecules of life). Aspects of
relevant physical chemistry are also covered, including solubility, osmosis and partitioning along with acids and bases as applied to pharmaceutical and
dental contexts. Materials chemistry (alloys and ceramics) are studied, as well as self-assembly processes. The course concludes with a brief examination
of kinetics.

Course Changes in Response to Previous Student Feedback

New workshops are introduced in 2018 to provide contextualised learning activities for each of the BDent Sci and B Pharm students. Additional study
resources for the end of semester exam will be provided based on feedback from 2017 students.

Advice to students repeating this course

Any student who enrols in CHEM1222 will not be given exemption or partial credit from their previous attempt(s) for any individual piece of assessment.
Instead, the student must successfully complete all of the learning activities and assessment items within the study period of enrolment (PPL 3.10.02
Assessment - Procedures Section 4.4.2 Examination and assessment integrity).

If the same assessment item is set from one year to the next, repeating students are allowed to submit the same work that they submitted in previous
attempts at the course. Where possible SCMB recommends that you use the feedback you received in your last attempt to improve parts of the item where
you lost marks. Resubmission of an altered or unaltered assessment item by a repeating student (where the same assessment has been set) will not be
considered as self-plagiarism.

5.5 Assessment Detail


Laboratory Experiments
Type: Laboratory
Learning Objectives Assessed: 3
Due Date: 22 Jul 19 - 25 Oct 19
Weight: 20%
Task Description:
To achieve a passing grade in CHEM1222 all four practicals must be completed.

The laboratory component for the course is worth 20% of the total assessment for the course. The assessment of laboratory experiments is criteria based.
Scores ranging from 1-25 are allocated for each experiment depending on how well students satisfy the list of criteria set down for the experiment. At the
end of the semester, these marks are totalled and converted to a mark out of 25. During the semester, you can check your marks for the experiments
completed via a link on the course web page.

Students who diligently attempt an experiment can expect to gain a passing score. Students who show at least a minimum level of pro ciency can expect
a mark of 14/25, while high achievers will aim for 18-20 or higher out of 25.
Assessment penalties
A penalty of 5 marks may be applied for any of the following:
• Prelab questions not completed which will also require a reschedule.
• 15 minutes or more late, which will also require a reschedule.
• Wrong footwear, which will also require a reschedule.

12/14/2019 Course Profiles - The University of Queensland

Due Date: 22 Jul 19 - 25 Oct 19


Weight: 10%
Task Description:
A Quiz information sheet will be emailed to each student in the course and placed on Blackboard, detailing how quizzes can be accessed through the
Sapling Learning System website.
Nine weekly computer quizzes, over the course of the semester, will be made available through the Sapling Learning System website, from Weeks 2-13 of
the teaching semester. Full details of how to access the site will be provided on Blackboard and in the rst week of lectures and emailed to the UQ email
address of each student. Of the 9 (nine) quizzes, the scores for the best 7 (seven) will be counted equally to the mark for this assessment
component.  Note: there is NO MINIMUM number of Sapling quizzes you are required to pass and no minimum number of quizzes you are required to
actually do.  If you only choose to do half the quizzes (or none) that is your choice.  But, you will only receive the marks for the tests you do!

Multiple Attempts: You may attempt each question over and over until you either get it right, or give up and request the solution.
Attempt Penalty: Each wrong answer docks 10% from your score on that question. For example, if you get a question correct on the third try, you
get 80% on that question. The individual question scores then get averaged to give your score on the assignment.
Partial Credit: Each successfully answered blank within a question contributes points toward your assignment score.
Hints: A hint is located in the bottom panel of each question. You do not lose any points for viewing the hint.
Tutorials: Some di cult questions contain tutorials, groups of questions to help you answer the original question. Viewing and answering the
tutorial steps will not cost you any points, regardless of whether you get them correct or incorrect.
Signi cant Figures: You will not be graded on the number of signi cant gures in numeric answers (unless the question speci es that you must
include the proper number of signi cant gures). In general, you just need to be within a certain tolerance (usually 2%) of the correct answer. To
prevent errors, do not round off answers at each intermediate step of your calculations. Instead, keep all the digits until the very end, and even
then, it is better to keep too many digits than too few.
Saved Work: Within an assignment, all of your responses are saved every time you click "Check Answer." Thus, you may exit a partially completed
assignment, then return to it later and resume where you left off. If you have entered an answer without clicking "Check Answer," that answer
will not be saved.

Reporting to Gradebook: Your score in the Sapling Learning gradebook is updated every time you click "Check Answer."
Deadlines for submission of each of the  Quizzes are advertised well ahead of time and therefore there is no excuse for not submitting an attempt at a Quiz
for a particular module by that due date. Access to Quizzes can be made from any computer with internet access, from anywhere in the world. Lack of
access to a computer is THEREFORE NOT a valid excuse for failure to submit a Quiz. You are also STRONGLY advised NOT to wait until just prior to the
deadline to submit the test. Computers are notorious for failing 5 minutes prior to a deadline and that is not a valid excuse.
Students who are prevented from submitting Quiz answers by the deadlines because of circumstances beyond their control (e.g. illness) MUST present
documentation (e.g. a valid medical certi cate which covers the period of the deadline for the Quiz) to Dr E e Kartsonaki (mail
to:chem1222@scmb.uq.edu.au (mailto:chem1222@scmb.uq.edu.au) with the words "Quiz Query" in the subject line.)

6. Policies & Guidelines


This section contains the details of and links to the most relevant policies and course guidelines. For further details on University Policies please visit
my.UQ (https://my.uq.edu.au/) and the Policy and Procedures Library (http://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/).

6.1 Assessment Related Policies and Guidelines


University Policies & Guidelines
An overview of the University's assessment-related procedures can be found on my.UQ. (https://my.uq.edu.au/services/exams-and-assessment
(https://my.uq.edu.au/services/exams-and-assessment))

Academic Integrity
It is the University's task to encourage ethical scholarship and to inform students and staff about the institutional standards of academic behaviour
expected of them in learning, teaching and research. Students have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity in their work.
Students must not cheat in examinations or other forms of assessment and must ensure they do not plagiarise.

Academic Integrity Tutorial - Support for Students


It may seem simple – don’t cheat and do reference your work. However, there are many issues involved in understanding what is meant by academic
integrity and how you could be misled into engaging in an action which may be academic misconduct. The Academic Integrity Tutorial (AIT)
(https://www.uq.edu.au/integrity/) will enable you to uphold academic integrity throughout your studies at UQ and beyond. All students are strongly
encouraged to complete the module. Some course coordinators may require you to complete the module as part of your assessment.

Plagiarism
The University has adopted the following de nition of plagiarism:

Plagiarism is the act of misrepresenting as one's own original work the ideas, interpretations, words or creative works of another. These include published
and unpublished documents, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, computer codes and ideas gained through working in a group. These ideas,
interpretations, words or works may be found in print and/or electronic media.

Students are encouraged to read the UQ Student Integrity and Misconduct policy (http://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.60.04-student-integrity-and-
misconduct (http://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.60.04-student-integrity-and-misconduct)) which makes a comprehensive statement about the University's
approach to plagiarism, including the approved use of plagiarism detection software, the consequences of plagiarism and the principles associated with
preventing plagiarism.

Applications for Extensions


An application for an Extension of Assessment Due Date for medical grounds and/or other exceptional circumstances shall be submitted by lodging the
appropriate (online) form (https://portal.my.uq.edu.au/#/apps/my-requests/process/Extension%2520of%2520Assessment%2520Due%2520Date) with

As a student you have a responsibility to incorporate feedback into your learning; make use of the assessment criteria that you are given; be aware of the
rules, policies and other documents related to assessment; and provide teachers with feedback on their assessment practices.

Supplementary assessment
A supplementary assessment is designed to give you a second chance at achieving a passing grade for a course, should you receive a nal course grade
of 3 (or N subject to the Supplementary Assessment Procedures (https://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.10.09-supplementary-assessment)). It isn't a repeat
of an exam, or a speci c assignment – it's designed to test the learning outcomes for the entire course, or speci c learning outcomes tailored to you. 

Supplementary assessment can take any form (e.g. oral, written, examination etc.), and the highest grade you can receive is a 4 (or P). Supplementary
assessment isn't available for every course and is only granted in accordance with the Supplementary Assessment Procedures
(https://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.10.09-supplementary-assessment).

Please check the course pro le to see if your course is fully or partially exempt from supplementary assessment. If you have any questions about
supplementary assessment, or if you're unsure whether you qualify, please contact staff in your school o ce or faculty o ce.

Course grade cut-offs


Any change to grade cut-offs will be in accordance with PPL 3.10.02 Assessment – Procedures (https://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.10.02-

Other Course Guidelines


DISCUSSION BOARDS

Students are not permitted to post assessment items to online discussion boards or homework sites with the intention of getting others to answer the
questions for them. These sites may include, but are not limited to: Facebook, Yahoo Answers, Redditt, Jishka.

Examples of assessment items that should not be posted include, but are not limited to: Pre-lab quiz questions, Analysis questions from experiments,
Sapling Learning Quiz questions.

The reason for this is that students learn best by doing the work themselves. In the event of di culties, help and clari cation is available through lecturers
