Chemistry 835 Fall 2017

Advanced Analytical Chemistry II

 

Course Organization, Lecture Syllabus and Other Important Information

 

Chemistry 835 is the second of two courses on Advanced Analytical Chemistry.  The course covers the subject areas of Molecular Spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, and Separation Science.

 

Textbook:   The textbook, which is not used heavily, is Chemical Instrumentation:  A Systematic Approach.  Third Edition, by Howard A. Strobel and William R. Heineman, John Wiley & Sons, 1989.  However, this text will not cover many concepts in the course and will be supplemented by other materials.  If you do not wish to purchase this text, that is fine as older students may have a copy you can borrow.  During the Mass Spectrometry module, students may find the following texts useful as references (but are not required reading): De Hoffmann, E. and Stroobant, V. "Mass Spectrometry: Principles and Applications", 3rd Edition, Wiley-Interscience, New York, 2007; Watson, J.T. and Sparkman, O.D. “Introduction to Mass Spectrometry: Instrumentation, Applications, and Strategies for Data Interpretation”, 4th Edition, Wiley, 2007.

 

Lectures:    The lectures are given Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:00 to 8:50 AM in Room 183 Chemistry.  A tentative lecture schedule is attached.  The lecturers are:

 

Professor Gary Blanchard (Molecular Spectroscopy)

Room 328 Chemistry

Phone: 353-1105

Email: blanchard@chemistry.msu.edu

Office Hours:  Wednesday, 9 to 10 AM or by appointment

 

Professor Liangliang Sun (Mass Spectrometry and Separations Science)

Room 229 Chemistry

Phone: 353-0498

Email: lsun@chemistry.msu.edu

Office Hours: Wednesday, 9 to 10 AM or by appointment

 

 

Problem Sets: Problem sets will be given to aid in illustrating the concepts and principles discussed in the lectures.  All students are required to do the problem sets because the ability to work these problems is often related to performance on the examinations, and is vital for understanding concepts.  (Homework)

 

Quizzes:  Frequent quizzes may be given in class.

 

Examinations: Three 50-minute examinations will be given in the course. The dates of these exams are:

 

Hour Exam I:    Monday, October 2nd, in class

Hour Exam II:  Friday, October 27th, in class

Hour Exam III: Friday, December 8th, in class

Once your eligibility for an accommodation has been determined, you will be issued a verified individual services accommodation (“VISA”) form. Please present this form to Professors Blanchard or Sun at the start of the semester and/or at least two weeks prior to the accommodation date (test, final exam, homework, etc.). Requests received after this date will be honored whenever possible.

 

Religious Observances / Other Absences from Class:

It is the responsibility of students who plan to be absent from class at certain times throughout the semester, due to religious holidays or other reasons, to make arrangements in advance with the instructor. Course notes or handouts may be obtained from the instructor if these conditions are met. If a make-up exam is required, the instructor retains the right to determine the content of the exam and the conditions of administration, giving due consideration to equitable treatment.

 

Academic Honesty:

Academic dishonesty at Michigan State University is defined by the General Student Regulations as conduct that violates the fundamental principles of truth, honesty, and integrity. The following conduct is specifically cited:

 

Cheating -     Providing or accepting assistance with completing assignments or examinations, without proper authorization.

 

Plagiarism -      Supplying or using work or answers that are not one's own, without proper citation.

 

Fabrication-     Faking data or results.

 

Sabotage-        Interfering through any means with another's academic work.

 

Deception-     Providing false information - e.g., giving a false excuse for missing a deadline or falsely claiming to have submitted work.

 

Students share with the faculty a responsibility for maintaining the integrity of scholarship, grades, and professional standards. CEM 835 adheres to the policies on academic honesty specified in General Student Regulation 1.0, Protection of Scholarship and Grades; the all-University Policy on Integrity of Scholarship and Grades; and Ordinance 17.00, Examinations. (See Spartan Life: Student Handbook and Resource Guide and/or the MSU Web site www.msu.edu.)

 

Unless authorized by your instructor, you are expected to complete all course assignments, including homework, lab work, quizzes, tests and exams, without assistance from any source. You are expected to develop original work for this course; therefore, you may not submit course work you completed for another course to satisfy the requirements for this course.  Also, you are not authorized to use the www.allmsu.com Web site or similar web sites to complete any course work in this course.

 

Students who violate these rules will be assigned a failing grade for the course.
