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.
