SAFETY: |
 |
APPROVED GOGGLES MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHILE IN THE
LABORATORY.
These
goggles may be obtained at the SDSU Bookstore. Only approved
goggles may be worn. If you do not have the appropriate safety
goggles you will not be allowed into the laboratory. In addition,
the laboratory instructor may give you a zero (0) for a weekly
laboratory grade if you are not wearing your safety goggles.
|
| There is a specific web page concerning safety in
the laboratory. You are required to watch the video on this web
site and to complete a safety quiz during your first laboratory
session. You are responsible for working safely at all times.
Points may be subtracted from your laboratory grade if it is noted
that you are not practicing laboratory safety. |
| Appropriate attire must be worn in the laboratory. Shorts,
sandals, and exposed midriffs are not allowed. |
|
| PROCEDURES: |
| READ EACH LABORATORY PROCEDURE PRIOR TO COMING TO LAB. IN
ADDITION, YOU MUST COMPLETE THE PRE-LABORATORY EXERCISE AND
TURN IT IN BEFORE YOU MAY BEGIN THE LABORATORY PROCEDURE.
|
| Your laboratory instructor will discuss important information
about each experiment at the beginning of each laboratory. |
| You
will also find a web page specific for each experiment. This page
will have demonstrations of techniques for that experiment,
specific safety instructions, and disposal instructions for any
chemicals used. BE SURE TO REFER TO THE WEB PAGE DURING THE EXPERIMENT. |
| The web page also contains a check-list that must be
printed off and completed prior to each laboratory session. It
should be turned in with your laboratory report at the end of
each lab session. |
| You
will work in pairs for each experiment. Complete the lab report as
you do the experiment. |
| CLEAN YOUR WORK AREA AND WASH ALL GLASSWARE
BEFORE LEAVING THE LAB. |
|
| LAB
REPORTS: |
Both pre-laboratory and lab reports are found in the lab
manual. Pre-laboratory reports are due at the beginning of the lab
period. Lab reports are to be turned in at the end of the
laboratory. In addition, there may be some additional
questions to be answered found on the web page for a particular
experiment. Each pre-lab report will be worth 5 points. YOU
MAY NOT BEGIN THE LABORATORY UNTIL THE PRE-LABORATORY REPORT IS
DONE. Lab reports will be graded on the basis of
20 points. It is the student's
responsibility to submit lab reports before he/she leaves the lab
and to pick up graded lab reports. If a mistake has been made in
the grading of the lab report, you will have one week from the
time the lab report was returned to resubmit it for grading. Any
case of cheating, copying, or plagiarism will result in a grade of
zero for that report. Late reports will not be accepted for
grading.
|
| ATTENDANCE: |
Laboratory attendance is mandatory. You must attend the session
in which you are enrolled. Any unexcused absence will result in a
grade of zero for that experiment. Two unexcused absences will
result in a failing grade for Chemistry 106L. If you have an
excused absence, please make arrangements to make up the missed
experiment as soon as possible. You may attend another laboratory
session that is performing the same laboratory experiment to
make up the experiment provided there is room in that section and
you have a signed Lab Make-Up Permission Form
from Mrs. Pravecek. |
