Notes: - General questions about the course should be directed to your instructor. - Instructor office hours (via WebEx) will be posted on Canvas, and may be revised throughout the term
Catalog Description: Structure, bonding and properties of materials. Topics include atoms and molecules, bonding, molecular structure, intermolecular forces, states of matter, and properties of materials. The laboratory illustrates material covered in the lectures.
Prerequisite(s): Chemistry 30 or CHEM 90 or CHEM 100; and (Mathematics B30 or Foundations of Mathematics 30 or Pre-Calculus 30). - Mathematics C30 or Geometry-Trigonometry 30 is strongly recommended. Students with credit for CHEM 111 or 114 may not take this course for credit - Data shows that students who lack the CHEM 30 pre-requisite do very poorly in CHEM 112, e. >50% drop or fail rate, and a ~10% lower average mark. If you do not have the CHEM 30 pre-requisite, drop CHEM 112 immediately, and register for CHEM 90/100 or a remote offering of Chemistry 30.
Remote Learning of CHEM 112: This is not how we wish to teach CHEM 112. We would rather teach you in person, in the wonderful lecture halls and laboratories on the University of Saskatchewan campus. Nevertheless, we are adopting online instruction for our mutual health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online instruction is new for many of us, and we ask that all participants in this course interact with patience, empathy, and care.
Please note that all lectures will be delivered remotely & asynchronously via with the Canvas learning management system. There is no requirement to be present during the scheduled lecture periods. This online lecture content will be common to all sections of CHEM 112.
Laboratories and problem-solving workshops will be delivered remotely and synchronously , using WebEx through the Canvas learning management system. Attendance for laboratories and problem-solving workshops is mandatory. See page 11 of the outline for information on the CHEM 112 laboratory.

Recommended Technology for Remote/Online Learning:
All CHEM 112 content (lectures, labs, problem solving workshops, homework assignments, and exams) will be delivered online. Therefore, to take advantage of the university's remote learning resources, students in CHEM 112 will require:
- access to a computer/laptop/smart device with microphone (webcam strongly encouraged)
- access to a stable internet connection
The Universityǯs recommended technology requirements and specifications are listed here: students.usask/remote-learning/tech-requirements.php. Please contact the course instructor if this is a concern.
Course Website CHEM 112 course materials will be available through the learning management system, Canvas.
- Students will be able to log into the system here: canvas.usask/ or through their PAWS account: paws5.usask/ and follow links from Course Tools.
Online Management Tools
WebEx - Opened through your internet browser, any live communication with the CHEM 112 instructors and TAǯs will occur online through WebEx. Additionally, all labs and tutorials will be exclusively delivered through this platform. Links will be provided to students through Canvas. The direct link to this service can be found here: usask.webex/ and training sessions about this service can be found here: training.usask/webex.php.
Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint - There may be instances (i. in the labs and problem solving workshops) where student will need to hand in electronically written reports and graphs. Fortunately, every U of S student has access to a Microsoft Office 365 subscription. For their download and use please see: students.usask/study/remote-learning.php. We will also provide some guides on specific uses of Word/Excel and PowerPoint on Canvas.
Other (non-mandatory) tools - Other non-required tools that may prove beneficial for students would be access to a scanner, printer, or smart phone/device (with the ability to take photos). Such devices will facilitate uploading/sharing content.
Student Feedback:
Student feedback is encouraged and will be obtained using the Course Evaluations tab in Canvas or SLEQ (Student Learning Experience Questionnaire).
Integrity in a Remote Learning Context
Although the face of teaching and learning has changed due to COVID-19, the rules and principles governing academic integrity remain the same. If you ever have questions about what may or may not be permitted, ask your instructor. Students have found it especially important to clarify rules related to exams administered remotely and to follow these carefully and completely.
The University of Saskatchewan is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Student Conduct & Appeals section of the University Secretary Website and avoid any behavior that could potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
All students should read and be familiar with the Regulations on Academic Student Misconduct (secretariat.usask/student-conduct-appeals/academic- misconduct) as well as the Standard of Student Conduct in Non-Academic Matters and Procedures for Resolution of Complaints and Appeals (secretariat.usask/student-conduct-appeals/academic- misconduct#IXXIIAPPEALS)
For more information on what academic integrity means for students see the Academic Integrity section of the University Library Website at: library.usask/academic- integrity#AboutAcademicIntegrity
You are encouraged to complete the Academic Integrity Tutorial to understand the fundamental values of academic integrity and how to be a responsible scholar and member of the USask community - library.usask/academic- integrity#AcademicIntegrityTutorial

Laboratory and Problem-Solving Workshops Information
The CHEM 112 labs/PSW will begin the week of January 18th. A series of alternating labs and problem solving workshops will be offered synchronously through the WebEx platform ȋi. Dzlivedz during their scheduled lab day/times). Full details of the laboratory/PSW program can be found on the CHEM 112 Lab Canvas website. A schedule of these sessions is appended to this outline.
The Lab/PSW sessions will consist of a combination of live online sessions, posted online videos, and/or virtual lab simulations. Each student will be assigned a chemistry teaching assistant (TA) to help navigate the online learning environment and answer questions during these sessions. Communication with the TA will happen via the WebEx platform (in groups of 12 students per TA).
Students will be expected to come prepared to these sessions by completing pre-lab activities, participate during the Dzlivedz session, and complete post-lab reports/questions. The WebEx portion of the lab/PSW will take approximately 1 hour and will occur on a weekly basis.
What do you need for the first lab/PSW? - Complete the first lab/PSW Module and pre-lab activities on Canvas - Find which Group to which youǯve been assigned on your lab day- find the time/link to your weekly WebEx meeting - Make sure your device is ready for your WebEx meeting
Exemption from the Laboratory Component of CHEM 112 Students repeating CHEM 112 who have completed the laboratory component of the course within the last two years and received a grade of >70% may be granted an exemption from the laboratory portion of this course. A list of all students who qualify for a CHEM 112 Lab exemption will be posted on Canvas. If your student number is on the list, and you wish to use your exemption, please contact the laboratory manager to get permission to register in lab section L 02 in Term 2. This is an Ǯartificialǯ lab section reserved exclusively for students who qualify for lab exemptions.
a. If you register for L02, then, in the development of your course mark, we will use your earlier laboratory grade. A lab exemption can be used once in the calculation of an overall course mark (if a student needs to repeat a course more than once, they must also repeat the lab portion in subsequent attempts) b. If you qualify for a lab exemption, BUT remain registered in a regular lab section, you are indicating to us that you wish to re-take the lab and, in that case, your new lab grade will be used. Any exemptions not applied for by January 18th (for Term 2) will not be honoured.
Absences from the Assigned Lab Period Students are expected to participate live in all synchronously scheduled online labs just as they would if labs were in person. However, if an absence is unavoidable, you may apply for an excused absence from the missed lab/Problem Solving workshop. Excused Absences
