Students are expected to keep a written permanent record of their experimental work in a bound lab notebook. Notebooks previously used for other classes are acceptable if they have a table of contents in the front. Lab notebooks, and similar records, are the permanent legal record of what has actually been done and should be treated accordingly. Spectral data and other graphic materials from instruments should be referenced in the notebook and the graphic data should have your name, the date, and the lab notebook page written on them. The graphic material should be kept with your notebook, either stapled inside or in a separate folder.
Eye protection is required in labs.
Safety procedures to be followed in the lab will be given to students in writing and verbally. These procedures and the directions of the lab TA and instructor must be followed at all times to ensure safety. Attendance is necessary as it is not practical to make-up missed labs. It may be possible to attend the other lab section if there is room and you obtain permission from the instructor . Failure to attend a lab or obtain an excused absence will result in a grade of zero for the missed assignment.
