Grading:
·
Your
final grade is based upon the following breakdown:
Laboratory Reports 55%
Laboratory Notebook 20%
First Laboratory Exam
5%
Second Laboratory Exam 15%
Attendance
5%
Laboratory Reports:
·
Laboratory
reports are due one week after the completion date of the experiment. Late reports will be subject to a 25% per
class meeting late penalty.
Laboratory Exams:
·
Two
exams will be given on the scheduled date only.
These laboratory exams will be closed book, closed notes with the only
resource being your laboratory notebook!
Failure to take the Final Exam will result in an automatic fail in the
course.
Laboratory Notebook:
·
The
laboratory notebook is used for your data.
Anyone not having the laboratory notebook before the second day of class
will be excluded from the laboratory.
All notes MUST be taken down in the laboratory notebook.
Safety Goggles:
·
During
the Chemistry experiments, unless specifically told by your instructor, you
must ALWAYS wear safety goggles while in the laboratory. Failure to wear safety goggles will dismiss
you from the laboratory.
Safety Rules:
·
Failure
to follow the safety rules will result in your dismissal from the
laboratory. Safety is the responsibility
of all persons within the laboratory.
Make sure you read the Safety Rules and Regulations and follow all
guidelines.
Attendance:
·
College
regulations state that a student MAY be excluded from a course following
accumulation of absences equal to a week of course work. If you are going to miss a week, PLEASE let

you decide to not take the class, it is your responsibility to drop the
class. Failure to drop the class can
result in a failing grade for the class.
Anyone found cheating WILL receive and
“F” grade
Laboratory Safety is Not Just the Responsibility of
the Instructor.
It is the Responsibility of Everyone.
While Working in the Laboratory,
And to
Conduct Your Laboratory Work in a Safe Manner at all times.
The Laboratory Instructor will review
the following Safety rules and regulations with you and will point out the
location and operation of the fire extinguisher, safety shower, eyewash, and
other laboratory safety equipment available.
1. While
in the chemistry laboratory, you must wear approved safety goggles, wear shoes,
confine long hair, and confine combustible clothing at all times. You will be working with chemicals that will
stain clothing if you or your classmates are not careful, you may want to
invest in a lab jacket.
2. You
are not allowed to ear, drink, or smoke in the laboratory.
3. Before
beginning work in the laboratory you should be familiar with the procedures you
will be following as well as any special precautions or changes that the
instructor may note. Report any
unexpected events to the instructor immediately.
4. No
unauthorized experiments may be performed.
Violators will be subject to disciplinary action. Do NOT begin any experiment without
the instruction in the classroom.
5. Before
leaving the chemistry laboratory, be sure to wash your hands carefully.
6. In
the event of an accident, the laboratory instructor should be immediately
notified.
a. If you receive a chemical burn,
immediately flood the area with cold water while another student summons the

(Note:
Your Notebooks will be graded using this criterion.)
1. Always
write in ink. (NO PENCIL!)
2. Write
only on the right-hand side of the page.
(The left-hand side of the page should be used for calculations, notes,
etc…)
3. Number
all right –hand pages in the upper right-hand corner.
4. Just
beneath the page number indicate the date on which the laboratory work was
done. When the experiment work is done
on two different dates, indicate the second date (right –hand margin) at the
point where the second day’s work begins.
5. The laboratory notebook is an original permanent record. This means several
