Laboratory:
Laboratories begin the week of Sept. 9-13. The laboratory component is compulsory for credit in
CHEM 101. Attendance is mandatory and no make-up labs are available. If a laboratory period is
missed for a valid reason, this experiment will not be counted towards the final mark. In all other
cases, a mark of zero will be assigned.
A student who misses more than two labs will not receive credit for the laboratory
component. Laboratory work accounts for 30% of the final grade in CHEM 101.

Manual:
Introductory University Chemistry Laboratory Manual (Chemistry 101 Fall 2002 Edition.) is required
as the laboratory textbook. Safety glasses and a laboratory coat must be worn in the laboratory at
all times! (available in MacEwan bookstore) Students showing up to the laboratory without glasses
and/or a laboratory coat will be required to rent these items from the chemical technicians.
