General Regulations and Notes:
In order to receive a passing mark
for the course, a student must pass the laboratory component of the course. The laboratory grade is determined
from the submission of datasheets for completed experiments and quizzes. Quizzes
for a completed experiment are written during the next scheduled lab period and
are conducted during the first 15 minutes of the lab period. Extra time and
rewrites are not available
for students who are late or absent.
Data sheets are due at the end of the laboratory period. Data sheets not submitted at this time will be penalized and given a grade of zero and included in the overall lab mark.
Plagiarism of datasheets/quizzes is a serious
offense. Plagiarism is defined as
the imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the
representation of them as one's own original work. See section:
Academic Regulations – Ethical Behaviour in Academic Matters in the academic calendar. Work
found to contain plagiarized material will be given a grade of zero and in some
circumstances a student may receive a total lab grade of zero.
Students
are encouraged to see me if there are any questions concerning the laboratory
component of the course. The only requirement for assistance is that the
student has reviewed the relevant material and has at least attempted to
complete the experimental work.
Attendance in all laboratory
periods is compulsory. Any
student who misses up to two(2)
scheduled laboratory period will be required to write a comprehensive Lab Exam
to make up for the missed material. Students who miss more than two laboratory
periods or fail to write the comprehensive Lab Exam will receive a mark of 0
(zero) for the missed experimental data sheet and the corresponding quiz.
Clean-Up
It is the responsibility of each individual student to clean and
properly put away any equipment used during his/her experiment. Students are
encouraged to remind others who do not clean up after themselves and not
to clean up for them. Items often missed include the following:
1)
Reagent
spills left on balances.
2)
Reagent
bottles left open.
3)
Glassware
not put away or put away dirty.
4)
