B.
Leaving the Laboratory
Before leaving the laboratory, check
to make sure that all of your equipment is clean, and in your
drawer. All communal equipment
must be clean and returned to the designated location in the
laboratory. As well, before
leaving the laboratory, please be sure that the utilities (gas, water,
etc.)
are turned off at your laboratory
bench. You should also clean your sink and your work area.
At
the end of the laboratory, you may
be assigned part of the laboratory to clean up (fume hoods,
balances, etc.).
III.
ASSESSMENT
The laboratory component of this
Chemistry course is compulsory and must be successfully
completed to obtain credit in the
course. A minimum laboratory grade of 50% is
required to
pass the laboratory component of
the course. The
laboratory grade accounts for 30% of the
course grade in Chemistry 101.
A.
Attendance
Again, attendance of the laboratory
sessions is compulsory. Students must work individually on all
experiments unless otherwise directed.
Punctuality is essential in order to complete the experiments
during the three hour laboratory
period. Students must be in the laboratory for the laboratory
lecture that will begin promptly
at the beginning of each laboratory section. A student arriving
more
than 10 minutes late will not
be allowed to start the experiment
without specific permission from
the laboratory instructor.
There are NO make-up times available
for missed experiments. If a laboratory is missed with a
valid excuse, the mark for this
experiment will not be included in the laboratory report average.
Otherwise a grade of zero will be
assigned for the missed experiment.
If an experiment is missed for a
medical or other significant reason, the instructor must
be informed
within 24 hours
of the missed laboratory session. This may be done through
voice mail, if
necessary. If this is not
done, you will be assigned a zero for the
experiment unless there are
documented extenuating circumstances.
