Lab Regulations:

1. Students are REQUIRED to wear safety goggles at all times in the laboratory.  The material fee covers the cost of these goggles.  Students should also wear closed-toe shoes and clothing covering at least shoulders to knees.  Aprons or lab coats are recommended; expensive clothes are not.

 

2. If you drop the course you must check out of lab.  A fee may be charged for failure to check out.  If you decide to drop, you must submit a Drop Form to the admissions office.  If you do not officially drop, you may receive an “F” in the class.

 

3. I plan to drop the lowest lab grade.  If you miss a lab this will be the dropped grade.  A zero given for copying, or letting someone copy your work will not be dropped. 

 

4. Pre-laboratory problems are due before lab starts.  Lab reports are due at the end of the lab period before you leave.  If an experiment runs long I may specify when the report is due.  My initials are required on your lab work before you leave in this event.

 

5. All questions should be answered in the pre-laboratory problems and in the lab report.  Any unanswered questions will result in a 20% reduction in the lab experiment (usually this means 2 points lost out of 10).  Any questions requiring a written answer should be answered in complete sentences.  Neatness, grammar, and spelling count in all of your work.

 

6. If you are absent from lab, please let me know via email or phone call.  If you miss one lab, that grade will be dropped.  If you miss more than 1 lab, you must complete a makeup lab within 2 weeks of the scheduled lab or you will receive a zero for the missed work.  Lab makeup must be done during one of the scheduled 101 labs taught by Dr. Daniel.

 

7. Any student missing 3 or more laboratories may be dropped from this course; however it is NOT the responsibility of the instructor to drop missing students.  See item 2 above.

 

8. No unauthorized experiments will be performed.  All safety rules will be followed at all times in the laboratory.  Any inappropriate behavior may result in the student being expelled from lab, with a zero for that experiment, up to the students being dropped from the course. 

 

9. You need to supply paper towels, matches, and liquid detergent.  These materials should be left in your drawer.
