Chem 107 Lab Policies
As a scientist or student in General Chemistry, you are expected to abide by the safety rules and laboratory etiquette. These rules are in place to provide a safe, comfortable and productive working environment for you and your classmates.
· Unfortunately, we have limited time in this course. As such, MAKE UP LABS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED and you will not receive credit for the missed work.
· Missing 2 or more cooperative lab days will result in a zero for the whole cooperative project.
· If you miss a cooperative lab day, you will not receive credit for the missed work and your cooperative project grade will be reduced by 5 points.
· Late lab assignments will be subject to a 10% late penalty per day.
· If you drop CHEM 105 Lecture, you must also drop CHEM 107 Lab. They are two separate courses and must be dropped separately.
· Course Withdraw: March 11th is the last day to withdraw from a full fall semester course with an automatic N grade issued. Students may not withdraw from a course after this date without documented extenuating circumstances as determined by the University, not the instructor.
· In addition to the Cooperative Chemistry Laboratory Manual, fourth edition, you will need a pair of chemical splash goggles and a bound composition notebook.
· Wearing safety goggles in lab is required. If at any point during the lab you are not wearing your safety goggles, 5 points will be deducted from your final total points for the first offense. For the second offense, 10 points will be deducted from your final total points, and so on.
· All labs being turned in must have your name and the day and time of your lab. If the lab is more than one page in length, it must be stapled before turning it into your lab instructor.
· Once a graded assignment is returned, you have two weeks to discuss the grade with your instructor. After two weeks, no grades will be changed.
· You should carefully read the Winthrop University Student Conduct Code printed in the Winthrop University Student Handbook.
· SAFETY NOTE: Safety goggles and proper lab clothes and shoes are required for all labs. If you come to lab without the proper lab attire, you will be asked to leave and will be subjected to the above policies for missed labs.
