* NO MAKE UP EXAM ; any missing exam will count as ZERO . * NO REGRADE FOR FINAL EXAM.

Lab Preparation: To complete the laboratory work on time you must prepare for the period's assignment before your laboratory section meets. The course is impacted; there is neither make-up time in the course nor space for youto work in other sections. In preparation for the lab, you should first study the pertinent sections in the text, reviewthe lecture notes pertaining to the experiment, then view (and possibly review) the appropriate videotapes for anynew techniques to be used in the experiment. If you still have questions relating to the experimental details, consulta TA or the course instructor. The duplicate copy of the in-lab data is to be turned in to the T.A. at the end of thelab period. Prelabs are due at the beginning of the lab period. Late pre-lab work will count as ZERO .

NOTE: Techniques videotapes can now be viewed on the internet (refer to the lab schedule for web address) andthrough the campus cable TV network (Channel 22).

Post-lab Reports: The remainder of the lab report, - the data analysis, error analysis, and conclusions - are to becompleted in the lab notebook after the experiment is completed. The original copy of this portion of the report isturned in to the T.A. at the start of the following lab period along with any required graphs. Unexcused late post-lab

portions of the reports, will accrue a penalty of five percent of the grade per day for unexcused late reports. Noreports will be accepted after 5:00 p.m. on the last day of instruction.

Grading: ( To receive a passing grade (C-), you must complete ALL the experiments and reports and receive at least 50% of the points in the exams category.)

TOTAL 646 100 %Grading Criteria: Your mastery of the course will be measured through your performance on the exams, reports, experimental accuracy,calculations and analysis of data; and your lab technique. Qualities that will be considered in this latter category includeyour performance in observing safety regulations such as wearing eye and personal protection in lab, following safe lab

procedures, working independently and coming to lab prepared, completing the assigned work within the scheduledlaboratory periods, coming to lab on time and turning in assignments promptly, and disposing of waste in properreceptacles.

Chemistry 14CL is graded on a mastery basis. Letter grades are based on the course point total. (Please note thesegrades are assigned only at the end of the quarter when all items have been graded; the percentage on a portion of the

course is not a meaningful measure of your total performance.) Plus and minus grades are frequently assigned, but finaldecisions to award these grades are not made until the end of the quarter when all the student data have been evaluated.As a rule of thumb, the course grades are assigned as follows:

A = 90 - 100%B = 80 - 89%C = 65 - 79%D = 50 - 64%F = 0 - 49%

Plus and minus grades may be assigned if appropriate.

Bulletin Board: The course bulletin board is located on the wall across from Vending Machines 1 st Floor. ReportGuidelines will ONLY be posted on 14CL VOH (Virtual Office Hours) homepage.

Video Laboratory: Operated by the Instructional Media Library, and located in Powell 270. This facility is open daily. Videotapes forassignments on the laboratory schedules will be available for individual student viewing. You are expected to view theappropriate program for the week's experiment before your lab section meets.

Safety Goggles and Protective Clothing:Eye protection must be worn in all laboratories whenever any laboratory work is in progress. Recommended safetygoggles may be purchased from the Undergraduate Chemistry Fraternity - AXE - Room 1275 Young Hall. Other styles ofgoggles are available at local bookstores.A heavy vinyl or rubberized apron or full-length lab coat, closed-toe shoes, and long pants must be worn when doingexperimental work. Aprons may be purchased from AXE or the student store. If you wear an apron, your shirt mustcover your shoulders and upper arms. Shorts and sandals do not provide adequate protection for laboratory work. Youwill be barred from the laboratory if you are not wearing appropriate protective clothing. Latex gloves will be providedfor those experiments using chemicals that are hazardous to skin.

Laboratory Notebooks: Laboratory notebooks designed for duplicate records are available from the Undergraduate Chemistry Fraternity - AXE -Young Hall 1275 and the student store. All experimental data and complete reports will be recorded in this laboratorynotebook.

Cheating, Plagiarism, Dishonesty:All cases of cheating, plagiarism, or dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Students. All work that you submitfor grading must be your own work. Group reports must acknowledge the individual contributions of each person, ifthe work has been shared.
