Introductory Physical Chemistry Course e-Syllabus Course: Introductory Physical Chemistry: CHEM. 3203
Course Description: This course covers the following topics in physical chemistry: gas laws, kinetic-molecular theory, thermodynamics, equilibrium, kinetics, electrochemistry, and quantum chemistry. Credit for this course will not apply toward major codes 6061, Chemistry ASC Certificate or 6060, Chemistry.
Prerequisites: CHEM. 2104, PHY 1114 and STAT 2103.
Instructor: Dr. Mike Jezercak Office: H 320 C E-mail:; drjez@uco.drjez.com Office Hours: Posted hours and by arrangement
Course Objectives: Students, upon completion of this course, will have gained exposure and practice in areas of physical chemistry which include gas and liquid properties, thermodynamics, kinetics, quantum mechanics, spectroscopy and statistical mechanics. Computer numerical and statistical techniques will be utilized in order to solve non-ideal physical problems.
Class time: 10:00 a.m. - 10:50 a.m. M, W, F
Course Text : Lecture Notes and Homework assignments will be made available at: http://www.drjez.com/uco/IntroPChem/IntroPChem.htm Optional: Atkins and dePaula, Elements of Physical Chemistry 4th Ed. or later.Freeman Publ. Note:The lecture schedule refers to chapters from the suggested text for use in supplemental reading.
Other Resources:. The student will also need a scientific calculator for in-class problem solving and exams. Available to the student will be the chemistry department computer laboratory located in HOH318.
Evaluation: Final grades will be based on the results of 5 regular classroom exams and a final examination. There will be no make-up exams once exams have been graded and returned. In the event of an emergency contact the instructor as to the best and most fair course of action for your individual circumstances.

Transformative Learning: This course fulfills the Discipline Knowledge element of Central Six A summary Student Information Sheet is available for review. Central Six: This ourse satisfies Discipline Knowledge under Central Six. Discipline Knowledge includes content knowledge that students need in their chosen field of study to take charge of their own active learning, reflection and education motivation to ask questions, seek feedback and make use of all educational resources available to become scholars and professionals in their fields. WHAT TO DO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR, HAVE SYMPOTOMS OF, OR HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO COVID-19
If a student meets one or more of these criteria, they should:
A student can return to campus if the test result comes back negative, if fever and symptoms are not present for three (3) consecutive days, or if symptoms do not develop within 14 days of direct exposure. Students who follow university procedures will not be penalized for class absences assuming they make up missed assignments in a timely fashion, in consultation with (and at the discretion of) the instructor. Agreement to abide by the public health measures outlined is a condition of physical presence on the UCO campus for the 2020-21 academic year, as detailed in the Student Code of Conduct. As the conditions on campus and in the community evolve, events may occur that necessitate a change in the procedures, course schedule or modes of delivery. The information provided on www.uco.edu/coronavirus will be updated throughout the year. Procedure changes on this webpage and communicated via official correspondence from the university will supersede any prior guidance. -------------------------------- The University of Central Oklahoma has implemented recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the CDC) pertaining to COVID-19 on university campuses and will require students to cover their nose and mouth with an approved cloth face cover or disposable surgical-type face mask when on UCO properties. This means all students will be required to wear a face cover at all times in classrooms, hallways and public spaces. Reasonable accommodations may be available for students with diagnosed medical conditions, and must be coordinated through the UCO office of Disability Support Services. UCO will provide every student a UCO-branded cloth cover at the beginning of the semester and a limited supply of disposable masks will be available in each classroom building for those occasions when students or visitors forget their personal cloth face cover. Students who refuse to wear a cloth face cover or repeatedly forget their face cover will be subject to disciplinary action under the UCO Student Handbook and to the consequences associated with any loss of instruction. Remember slowing the spread of the virus is a community effort and will take everyone’s cooperation and support.
