additional point will be awarded for answering the question correctly. The i>clicker

BACON: 5% of extra credit toward your course grade can be very easily earned by completing
‘BACON’ tutorials, a handy resource created by students and faculty at UCLA.
BACON is an online tutorial designed to help connect the wonders of organic
chemistry to medicine, other aspects of real life, and even pop culture.

You will have 7 BACON tutorials available this term. Completing them is optional.

Each time you complete a BACON tutorial, you will also complete a brief multiple
choice post-BACON quiz (the quiz will be built into the tutorials). We will drop your

 lowest post-BACON quiz score, and then your remaining 6 post-BACON quiz scores
will be averaged together and weighted to 5% of extra credit toward your final course
grade.

To Sign up:
1. Visit learnbacon.com and click ‘Sign Up’ to create your account.

2. Follow the instructions and then register for the appropriate course. The Course
Pin number JRDA109B.

The cost for all tutorials is only $5 per student for the entire term.

The BACON system is simple and automated. You will receive emails when tutorials
become available, in addition to reminders if you have not completed a tutorial as a
deadline approaches.

If you encounter any problems related to BACON during the quarter, please email

Midterm and Final Guidelines:

o.
rs e
I will not tolerate cheating in this class and I will report all cheating to the student-faculty
ou urc
conduct committee. Feel free to review UCSB standards of student conduct at
http://www.sa.ucsb.edu/regulations/student_conduct.aspx
o

! You must bring your student ID to the exams.

aC s

! If your cell phone rings during the exam you will receive a 0.
vi y re

! If you touch or look at your cell phone during the exam you will receive a 0.
! If you want a re-grade you have 72 hours (from the time the midterm is returned) to turn
your exam along with a re-grade request form (obtained outside my office) to Dr. Read de
Alaniz or give it to the receptionist in the chemistry office (Trailer 232) and ask them to put
ed d

it in his mailbox. NOTE: If you want a re-grade, your entire midterm will be re-graded.
Keep in mind, you could both gain and lose points.
