Modern
analytical chemistry (both qualitative and quantitative determination)
is
driven by use of instrumentation and interpretation of the data
obtained. The selection and understanding
of
appropriate measurement principles and tools are essential to the
analytical
process. The objective of the course is
to build upon the foundations of classical analytical chemistry by
surveying
instrumental methods of analysis that will provide a background for
making
decisions in solving problems in chemical analysis.
ATTENDANCE/ABSENCE POLICY:
Attendance
at lecture is expected, but not required.
Regardless of attendance, a student is responsible for all
material
presented in class. An excuse from class
is not an excuse from class requirements/assignments. In
case of legitimate absence (e.g., illness,
death in the immediate family, and involvement in University-sponsored
activities) arrangements must be made within two days after returning
to class
to obtain missed materials. Class notes
are not posted on websites, etc.
ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT:
Academic
misconduct is a Code A
violation of the Ohio University Student Code of
Conduct (URL: http://www.ohio.edu/judiciaries/conduct_policy.cfm). Academic misconduct refers to “Dishonesty or
deception in fulfilling academic requirements. It includes, but is not
limited
to cheating, plagiarism, un-permitted collaboration, forged attendance
(when
attendance is required), fabrication (e.g., use of invented information
or
falsification of research or other findings), using advantages not
approved by
the instructor (e.g., unauthorized review of a copy of an exam ahead of
time),
knowingly permitting another student to plagiarize or cheat from one's
work, or
submitting the same assignment in different courses without consent of
the
instructor.” If you are found to
be involved in academic misconduct, you will receive zero credit on the
work in
question and the case may be referred to the Director of University
Judiciaries
with a possible sanction of suspension or expulsion.

Homework will be assigned
approximately weekly. Ordinarily,
assignments will be problem solving in nature and/or involve review of
the
chemical literature. A due date will be
announced when the assignment is made.
Late homework assignments will NOT
be accepted at any time during the course.
*All examinations will be comprehensive in nature and cover materials from the class lectures, homework assignments, and any assigned reading.
