Information for ChE 317
Introduction to Chemical Engineering
Instructor: D.M. Himmelblau Office: CPE 5.410
Office hours: M-F 10-11 a.m.
1. GENERAL
a. The prerequisites for ChE 317 are Ch 302 and Math 808. If you have not completed
these two courses, you will have to drop ChE 317 and should do so at once.
b. Class conduct is informal. Feel free to raise your hand at any time to ask a question or
for an explanation.
2. EXAMINATIONS
a. Five two-hour examinations plus a final exam will be held at specified announced
dates as shown on the assignment sheets. The last examination will be scheduled
during the final exam period (refer to the course schedule for details). The lowest
exam of the first 5 (excluding the final exam) will be omitted in calculating your final
grade. You must take the final. If you will miss an exam, notify me prior to the exam,
not afterwards, to arrange for a makeup exam.
3. GRADING
a. The grading is based on scores on the examinations, each of which is weighted
equally (90%), plus class discussion and homework (10%). The grades are assigned
on an absolute basis, not a curve:
A > 82
B 71-82
C 61-70
D 51-60
F < 51
hence there is no penalty for working together and helping each other.
b. You will have a grader assigned to this course whose name is ___________, office
number is Room ______, and office hours are __________.
c. The recitation session assistant is ___________________, office number is Room
_____, and office hours are __________.
d. If you disagree with the grader’s method of grading and with the total points he has
given you on a particular problem, discuss it with the grader first, but if you cannot
reach a decision, I will be the referee. Bring exam grade questions to me.
e. Prepare a grade sheet on which you can keep account of your homework and exam
grades so that you will be able to compute your status at any time you wish.
vi
, f. A grade of at least a C is required in this course for subsequent courses in chemical
engineering.
4. HOMEWORK PROBLEMS
a. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING STANDARDS WILL BE REQUIRED AND
ENFORCED. (Capital letters intended.)
b. Problems are due at the beginning of each class according to the assignment. No late
problems can be accepted.
c. Turn in a much of a problem as you can get. It is better to get a low grade than a
“miss.”
d. Working together is an important part of professional practice. After the second week
of class, students will be assigned to work on homework (not exams!) in pairs. During
the first two weeks of class look for a possible compatible partner. You will receive a
list of all of the class members with their phone numbers to help in the selection.
Exceptions can be made for individuals who insist on working alone.
e. After each scheduled homework assignment has been turned in, the solution(s) will
be placed in a file located in the ChE stockroom that may be checked out for 2 hours
at a time.
5. If you have difficulty in the early part of the course, confer with me before you get into
trouble.
