Major Objectives

Students in all chemistry courses are expected:
A1. To demonstrate proficiency in analysis, organization, interpretation, and presentation of chemical data.
A2. To express chemical concepts with quantitative relationships and to interpret the results obtained from the use of these
       quantitative relationships in terms of the chemical concepts conveyed in this format.
A3. To use written communication in a cogent and coherent form that demonstrates understanding of chemical concepts.
A4. To develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in synthesizing information.
A5. To appreciate the relevance of chemistry to everyday life.
A6. To recognize that the various areas of chemistry are interrelated and require integration of basic chemical principles,
        including chemical formulae and nomenclature, chemical reactions and stoichiometry, chemical equilibria
       and acid-base theory, and molecular structure.

Course Objectives

Students in this course iare expected:
B1. To understand the structure and metobolic function of carbohydrates.
B2. To understand the catabolism and anabolism of carbohydrates including molecular transformation of biomolecules, the regulation of the
       pathways and bioenergetics.
B3. To understand the catabolism and anabolism of fats including molecular transformation of biomolecules, the regulation of the pathways
       and bioenergetics.
B4. To understand the catabolism and anabolism of amino acids including molecular transformation of biomolecules, the regulation of the
       pathways and bioenergetics.
B5. To understand oxidative phosphorylation.
B6. To understand the interaltionship between catabolic pathways.
B7. To understand the reciprocal regulation of catabolic and anabolic pathways.

Grading

Homework problems will be assigned with each chapter from the text as well as additional homework problems which will be handed in or submitted on-line and graded. Three hour exams will be given and as well as a cumulative final exam. All exams are mandatory and no make-up exams will be given. In case of illness, as demonstrated by a medical certificate and upon approval of the Dean, special arrangements will be made.

Plagiarism/Cheating. The Wilkes University community shares "a deep commitment to academic honest and integrity". Penalties for violation of the University plagiarism policy range from a zero on the assignment or test to course failure. Sufficiently egregious cases of plagiarism may be referred to the Student Affairs Cabinet for further disciplinary sanctions. The University recognizes the following as violations of Intellectual Responsibility,plagiarism, cheating and collusion. Furthermore the University also recognizes various forms of plagiarism, deliberate, unintentional and self. Additional details can be found in the Student Handbook, p. 54-55.

EXTRA CREDIT

Extra credit will be assigned on a first come first serve basis for topics and dates. The projects will involve filling the display cases on the second floor by SLC 201 and SLC 275 . The projects will be displayed for a week. It will be the students responsibility to put up the display on Monday. Topics should be chosen from a current scientific magazine or journal. The project must include at least four pages of written text and three illustrations to fill the case. Appearance does count. The text can distributed among the illustrations. Two references, other than your book, must be used and cited. No web references allowed. Each Monday of the semester is available starting January 19 through Monday April 27 and there are four display cases available per week. You can sign up for a date and topic before February 27. Zero to three points will be added to the overall grade for extra credit.
