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.
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.
