Physical Chemistry II Course e-Syllabus Course: CHEM 3513 - Physical Chemistry II Course Description: This course covers quantum mechanical investigations into chemical systems, concentrating Prerequisites: Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3503, MATH 2323 Instructor: Dr. Mike Jezercak Office Hours: Posted Hours. and by arrangement Course Objectives: Students, upon completion of this course will understand and utilize the methods and solutions of basic chemical systems using classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. Solutions will involve calculus based solution and evaluation of system energies, wave functions, average values, eigenvalues, statistical mechanical prediction of macroscopic values and spectroscopic predictions and analysis. Class Time: 8:00 a.m. – 8:50 a.m. M,W,F Course Text: Raff, Lionel M. “Principles of Physical Chemistry” Prentice-Hall, NJ 2001 Other Resources: Other references will be given in class. Students must have access to a computer with plotting and mathematical software and a calculator. Those without such access have computers available to them in the Chemistry Student Computer Laboratory H 318. This course will utilize the mathematical software package MathCad for distribution of lecture notes and examples and for the completion of selected homework and exam assignments. This software is available for use in HOH 318 and an academic version is available for purchase. PTC MathCad Prime Evaluation: Final grades will be based on the results of 5 regular classroom exams and a final examination. The Final Exam will be an ACS standardized examination covering content of Physical Chemistry II. 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. If you know in advance that you will miss an exam, arrangements can be made to take the exam early. Grades will be assigned based on the following percentages:

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. COVID-19 Positive test or Symptoms Protocol COVID Reporting: Faculty, staff and students are responsible for reporting a positive case diagnosis by submitting the COVID-19 Self-Reporting form. Masking Recommendations: Under the current COVID conditions of “Low Community Risk Level” in the county, metropolitan area, and state, the CDC recommends that unvaccinated individuals continue to wear masks indoors.
-------------------------------- 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.
