The lab notebook, complete with reactions, table of reactants, etc., must be checked by the lab instructor prior to starting the lab exercise. Five points will be deducted the notebook is not prepared. If you are unable to complete a lab in the allotted time due to lack of preparedness, you will receive a grade of zero for that lab. Products will be turned in for verification of yield and purity. Misreporting of results will result in a grade of zero for the lab.
Lab reports are due, usually, at the beginning of the next lab period.
Late lab reports will have five points deducted per lab period. A lab which is more than three lab periods late will receive a grade of zero. If you must miss a lab because of illness or emergency, contact the lab instructor as soon as possible to arrange a makeup. Labs must be made up within one week of the lab you missed. Labs missed without a reasonable excuse, or labs not made up within one week, will receive a grade of zero.
