Students will work in teams of two, with team assignments made either based on student preference or arbitrarily by the instructor. Click on the column headings to view detailed lab procedures for each project. It is the students' responsibility to read the relevant lab manual section and prepare their lab notebook for each project before beginning any experimental work on that project. These MSDS describe various physical and chemical properties of the substance in question and include important information on potential hazards associated with their usage. Laboratory reports are required for each project and, unless otherwise announced, are due at the beginning of the lab period two weeks after completion of the project's experimental work.
Students are responsible for signing an attendance sheet at each class and lab meeting.
For each absence beyond these limits, a student's final course average will be lowered by 0.2 pt. Settled cases involving first-offense violation of the honor code will result in a minimum penalty of course failure.
