We will explore how people argue, persuade and identify with one another by analyzing texts across genres and historical periods. Prereq: ENGL 110, 30 credit hours Required Materials All course reading materials provided through D2L A PDF reading program (free version is fine!) A word processing program (free versions provided through Millersville Office 365) Accessing Required Materials Materials in this course zero textbook cost materials, free materials to registered students through their Millersville University Library log-in. I'm including the permalink here (and in each module). This allows each student to access the material, and download it in the format that meets their learning needs (PDF or HTML, etc.). This also allows students to access from multiple devices, to read where and when it suits your needs. Feel free to work with peers in class as you work through readings! These open access materials also allow us to explore the writing and ideas of a breadth of authors, bringing multiple, important perspectives to our discussions of rhetorical theory - voices and ideas not typically available in the standard rhetorical reader. To help students work through these digital materials, I designed all quizzes to be repeatable for credit. Read the assigned material, use the tweets, then complete the quizzes. Use the quiz questions and ideas to help you work through the reading focusing on comprehension. Ask questions as they arise in Twitter!!! I'm here to help. The Rhetorical Application assignments assume you understand the material and can work through an in-depth multimodal application. Again, ask questions as they arise. I will be actively monitoring Twitter to support your learning. A New History of Classical Rhetoric by George A.

Other Materials This is an online course, all students will need regular access to the internet and technology to participate with the course. All students need an active Twitter account. Please do not set your account to private so your classmates and I can see your posts. NOTE: I use a Twitter data scraper - you need to include the #engl280mu course hashtag on all tweets and replies to earn credit in this class! Course Objectives 1. Identify and define a selection of rhetorical theories and concepts. 2. Explain how rhetoric functions as an epistemic tool of inquiry that allows students to explore questions of fact, meaning, and value 3. Articulate clearly in writing the connection between historical/rhetorical theory development and the rhetorical analysis used by the contemporary critics studied. 4. Demonstrate ability to find, evaluate, and integrate appropriate sources into formal written work 5. Produce a formal written work through stages of development and revision based on peer and instructor feedback. COURSE POLICIES Mindful Approach Rhetoric is steeped in habits of mind and/or mindfulness - understanding how we (humans) approach situations with expectations, lenses, ways of knowing and learning - how all those understandings influence how we make meaning. Studying rhetoric means reflecting on what we bring to situations. Studying rhetoric means working with others to build and develop working understandings of how theories developed. Come to this online space to work together, to build shared understanding of how we view the world, and how our lenses influence that view.

Course Description A thermodynamics study of chemical systems including ideal and nonideal solutions, chemical and phase equilibria, and electrochemistry. Investigation of the macroscopic behavior of gases and its theoretical explanations. Summary of the determination and application of additive properties. Prerequisites CHEM 265 with a grade of C or higher, PHYS 232, MATH 311, and ENGL 110. 1 Course Purpose According to Gilbert N. Lewis Physical Chemistry is the study of anything that is interesting! We will use your chemistry, physics, and mathematics backgrounds to build underlying chemical principles from simple ideas. The goal of physical chemistry is to provide a rigorous (mathematical) model for understanding and predicting behavior of matter. In CHEM 341 we will focus on using thermodynamics and kinetics to understand the behavior of matter. The problem solving techniques and approaches we use in this class are broadly applicable to thinking about many questions you will encounter in your life! Course Learning Objectives Use mathematics and physics to build a quantitative understanding for thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical processes. Use quantitative results and models to build a conceptual understanding of thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical processes. Safely and effectively plan, carry out, and analyze quantitative laboratory experiments. Clearly communicate scientific results and principles through writing.

In order to meet this commitment, comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. 1681, et seq., and act in accordance with guidance from the Office for Civil Rights, the University requires faculty members to report to the Universitys Title IX Coordinator incidents of sexual violence shared by students. The only exceptions to the faculty members reporting obligation are when incidents of sexual violence are communicated by a student during a classroom discussion, in a writing assignment for a class, or as part of a University-approved research project. Faculty members are obligated to report to the person designated in the University Protection of Minors policy incidents of sexual violence or any other abuse of a student who was, or is, a child (a person under 18 years of age) when the abuse allegedly occurred. Information regarding the reporting of sexual violence, and the resources that are available to victims of sexual violence, is available at http://www.millersville.edu/socialeq/title-ixsexual-misconduct/index.php Class Environment I value a learning environment that is engaging, respectful, and helpful. I ask that you help maintain a learning environment that meets these goals for everyone in the class. Anyone whose behavior is disruptive of the learning environment will be asked to leave. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, appreciated, fairly treated, and encouraged to challenge yourself and obtain success. Please come talk to me if there is anything I can do to help support you in achieving success. 3 Grading Your grade in this course will be calculated using the following components. Category Percent of Grade Daily Problem Sets 20 Experiment Proposal 10 Regular Exams 40 Final Exam 10 Laboratory Assignments 20 Total 100 Your final grade will be determined by your overall points using the above grading scheme. In order to pass CHEM 341 you must have a passing grade in both the lecture/recitation (Problem Sets, Regular Exams, and Final Exam) and laboratory portions of the class. The cut-off percentages for each grade are given below. I reserve the right to lower grade cut-offs, but under no circumstances will the grade cut-offs be higher than those listed below. Grade Cut-off (%) Letter Grade 93 A 90 A87 B+ 83 B 80 B77 C+ 73 C 70 C67 D+ 63 D 60 DF Daily Problem Sets Daily problem sets will be given out most class periods and due at the beginning of the next class period. These short problem sets are designed to work on skills for course success and will include conceptual problems, mathematical problems, and short writing assignments. Each daily problem set is designed to be completed in less than an hour. All assignments are equally weighted within this category. All detailed solutions can be accessed via D2L (https://millersville.desire2learn.com/) 4 Experiment Proposal You will be proposing a physical chemistry experiment that interests you during the semester. From the class this semester between 1 and 3 proposals will be funded and carried out next semester during CHEM 342. Regular Exams Four regular exams will be given during our regular lecture meeting times. Each exam will contain one or more of the following types of questions: multiple choice, short answer, and worked problems. All exams in this course are considered cumulative, but will focus on the material covered since the last exam. Each regular exam is equally weighted within this category. The dates of our four regular exams are 9/17, 10/15, 11/5, and 12/3. If your percentage grade on the final exam is higher than your lowest percentage regular exam score, your percentage grade on the final will replace your lowest regular exam score. For example, if you earn a 60% on Exam 1, a 85% on Exam 2, a 95% on Exam 3, and an 80% on the Final Exam, your 60% on Exam 1 will be replaced and become an 80% (your percentage score on the Final Exam). Final Exam A two hour cumulative final exam will be given at the end of the semester. The final exam will take place on Friday December 10th from 8 - 10 am in 153 Roddy Hall. Laboratory Assignments A detailed description of all laboratory assignments will be distributed at the first lab meeting. 5 Attendance, Absences, and Make-Ups Attendance at every lecture and lab is expected. If you must miss a lecture, please see a fellow classmate for notes. I will post all handouts and presentations during the semester to D2L. Late or Make-Up Problem Sets, Labs, and Exams will not be allowed except under special circumstances and prior notification is required unless it is an emergency situation. Some examples of special circumstances are below. Required religious observation Participation in a Millersville University athletic event Armed forces related training or drills Medical Illness/Emergency Death in the family If you feel that you have a special circumstance that is of similar importance to the items listed above, please come talk with me as soon as possible and I will work with you to try and find a solution Academic Honesty The Millersville University Academic Honesty Policy states that: Students of the University are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. To falsify the results of ones research, to steal the words or ideas of another, to cheat on an examination, to allow another person to commit, or assist another in committing an act of academic dishonesty, corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced. The entire academic honesty policy can be found at http://www.millersville.edu/english/forfaculty/academic-integrity/index.php All work that is turned in for a grade should be completed individually by the person whose name appears on the work. Students found to have violated the academic honesty policy will receive a score of zero on the assignment. Repeated instances of academic misconduct will be given the harshest punishment. 6 Suggestions for Course Success My expectation is that you are working on CHEM 341 material for 8 hours every week outside of class. This effort needs to be consistent throughout the semester to get the most out of this course. If you find yourself putting in the work outside of class and still having difficulty with any part of the course, you should arrange to come meet with me as soon as possible so that we can work together to help you be successful. Here are my suggestions for being successful in this course. Work on physical chemistry a little bit every day. Read the textbook and work example problems before coming to class. Have a notebook and pencil with you to work through derivations while reading. Attend, participate, and take notes at all lectures. Ask questions during class. I love to get questions during class. Take notes to capture key points and ideas. Re-Read the textbook after class and fill-in your notes with additional details. Work problems from the end of the chapter everyday. The way you work through a problem matters. Try to work problems by minimally looking at your notes or the textbook. Starting problems is the most difficult part. Give yourself five minutes. Solve problems from start to finish by yourself. Utilize helpful resources. Form study groups. Stop by my office and ask questions. We can always find a time to meet. Use materials available on D2L.
