Med Chem 5110 Syllabus
Physiological Chemistry I

Fall 2004

Your instructor is Dr. Holly Phaneuf (pronounced “I will be your biggest fan-if you work hard in the course.”) I love both teaching and biochemistry, and feel it is my duty to translate this material for you in a completely clear and, I hope, entertaining way.

Times: MTWR 9:40-10:30 Skaggs Hall, room 250

Required materials:
Acid Base Theory for Pharmacy Students, by Dave Roll
Basic Medical Chemistry, A Clinical Approach, by Marks, Marks, and Smith

Prerequisites: You must have a passing grade in Chem 2320 (Organic chem 2), or its equivalent, to take this course.

Reaching me: I will be happy to create a time to meet with you if you ask before or after class. I actually do try to get back to you ASAP if you call or email, and often go over material by phone or emails, too.

TA: Richard de la Cruz, rdlc1@yahoo.com, 581-7806, 739 Wintrobe Building.

Grading: Your grade for the course be based on either 5 multiple choice quizzes, each scheduled every three weeks, or alternatively, a comprehensive multiple choice final exam, whichever score is higher. Either way, you will get a small bonus for filling out the online class evaluation, for which there are no wrong answers!

A = 93% or higher; A- = 90-92%; B+ = 88-89%; B = 83-87%; B- = 80-82%; C+ = 78-79%; C = 73-77%; C- = 70-72%; D+ = 68-69%; D = 63-67%; D- = 60-62%; F = below 60%.

Dropping an exam: Please don’t ask to drop an exam, because it would mean that I think that it's OK for you not to know a portion of the course, and I don’t think that is OK.

Make-up exams: If you know you have a serious conflict with an exam time ahead of time, and you can’t fix it, let me know. If you have an emergency which prevents you from taking an exam, call me as soon as possible. I might let you take a different exam later, but it is extra work for me to create an alternate version for each exam, so please be sympathetic to my desire not to do this for situations that are not definite emergencies. You can always take the optional comprehensive final, instead
