The textbook for Chemistry IA/B is 'Chemistry', 5th edition, Blackman et al., (Wiley) and it is recommended that students acquire their own copy.

Additional notes may be issued for individual sections of the course.

Paul Flowers, Klaus Theopold, Richard Langley, William R. Robinson (2019), Chemistry 2e (Openstax)

John McMurry (2023), Organic Chemistry (OpenStax)

These are free open-source textbook that can be downloaded as a pdf, epub or viewed directly on the web from 
Other sources for recommended reading may be provided by lecturers on an as-needed basis.

It is important that all students maintain active communication channels with the Chemistry Discipline throughout the course. The primary communication channels from the Discipline to students are email and MyUni for course-related announcements, teaching material and additional resources.

The University's online learning management system, MyUni (https://myuni.adelaide.edu.au), will be used to provide students with a variety of learning resources, including (but not limited to) the following:

This course is delivered by the following means:

• Lectures 36 x 50-minute sessions with three sessions per week
• Workshops 12 x 50-minute sessions with one session per week, beginning in week 2
• Practical 6 x 3-hour sessions with one session per fortnight

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

The course content includes the following:

Part 1 – Acids and Bases. Aspects of acid/base equilibria.

Part 2 – Structure Determination. The importance of molecular shape and how chemists determine the structure of compounds using spectroscopic techniques including ultraviolet, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Part 3 – Atoms to Molecules. An introduction to the structure of the atom and molecular bonding.

Part 4 – Periodicity and the Main Group. A look at the chemistry of the main group metals and non-metals.

Part 5 – Transition Metal Chemistry. An introduction to bonding in transition (d-block) elements, coordination complexes, bioinorganic systems

The learning outcomes for this course are substantially dependent on laboratory experience and practice. Therefore, practical work is compulsory; this includes attendance, conduct of required experimental work, attendance at demonstrator interviews (as required) and submission of laboratory reports.

Furthermore, students must attain at least 50% for the practical work to pass this course.

Students with medical or compassionate reasons for non-attendance will be given an opportunity to make up missed practical sessions.

Additional assessment will be offered to eligible students who do not meet the practical hurdle requirement.

Computer assessed assignments: (20% of total course grade)
Four computer assessed assignments (one per part; each part’s summative component will be worth a total of 4% of the overall course grade) will be used to assess progressive understanding of course material. Students receive instant feedback on submission.

A further 4% will be derived from workshop preparation. Each workshop will have one question from the set of provided problems assigned for students to complete prior to the session.  This question will be marked in class by the workshop leader to provide feedback.

Lecture Tests: (10% of total course grade)
There will be two lecture tests each semester, worth 5% each, making up 10% in total of your final grade for the course each semester. Lecture tests will occur around the halfway mark and towards the end of each semester. Lecture tests may consist of multiple choice or numerical answer questions or a combination of these.

Practical work: (20% of total course grade)
Practical reports will be handed in fortnightly and promptly assessed to provide continual feedback to students and a sense of progressive accomplishment in the course. All practicals have an associated summative online task that students complete before their laboratory class.

Examination: (50% of total course grade)
An end-of-semester written examination will be used to summatively assess understanding of the course material.
The examination will consist of a combination of multiple choice/numerical answer questions and short answer questions.

Online Practice Exercises: (0% of total course grade)
Students will be provided with a series of online practice exercises to enable them to test their understanding of the course material. Students receive instant feedback on submission and will be able to retake any question (or exercise as a whole) as many times as they wish.

Submission of Assigned Work (including Workshop questions attempts, Practical log book and In-semester Tests)

By submitting an assignment via MyUni students are agreeing to the following statement:

I declare that all material in this assessment is my own work, except where there is clear acknowledgement and reference to the work of others. I have read the 成人大片's Academic Honesty Policy: /policies/230/ 

I give permission for any assessed assignments to be reproduced and submitted to other academic staff for the purposes of assessment and to be copied, submitted and retained in a form suitable for electronic checking of plagiarism.

Extensions for Assessment Tasks
Extensions of deadlines for assessment tasks may be allowed for reasonable causes. Such situations would include compassionate and medical grounds of the severity that would justify the awarding of a supplementary examination. Evidence for the grounds must be provided when an extension is requested. Students are required to apply for an extension to the Course Coordinator before the assessment task is due. Extensions will not be provided on the grounds of poor prioritising of time.

Late submission of assessments
If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply.  A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that the assignment is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days late or more without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the marks available for that assignment. 
NOTE: Late submissions of In-semester Tests is not possible,  Workshop questions attempts can not be submitted after Friday 5pm of the week of the workshop.
