The penalty for late reports is 10 percent per school day. Late pre-lab assignments will not be accepted. Course Policies: Pre-laboratory Assignments: Pre-lab assignments are worth 5 points each and are counted as part of the report grade. These assignments are to be typed using the forms supplied to you at the course website. Structures must be drawn using ChemDraw. Pre-lab assignments are due at the start of class on the day the experiment is to be performed. Late pre-lab assignments will not be accepted. No assignments will be accepted via email unless specified by the instructor. Laboratory Reports: Laboratory reports are worth 50 points each. Laboratory reports are to be typed using the form supplied to you at the course website. Structures must be drawn using ChemDraw. Laboratory reports are due at the start of class (unless otherwise stated) on the assigned due dates. Reports turned in after the start of class will be treated as a day late. Late reports will have 10 percent deducted for each school day it is past due. Reports over nine days late will not be accepted. Problems with printing (including SmartPrint) are not considered acceptable valid
