Chem 108 Lab Policies
As a scientist or student in General Chemistry, you are expected to abide by appropriate laboratory safety rules and 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.
· Missing 2 or more cooperative lab days on a project will result in a zero for the whole cooperative project.
· Late lab assignments will be subject to a 10% late penalty per day.
· If you drop CHEM 106 Lecture, you must also drop CHEM 108 Lab and vice versa. Chem 106 and Chem 108 are two separate courses. You must drop each one separately.
· In addition to the Cooperative Chemistry Laboratory Manual, either the second or third edition, you will need a pair of chemical splash goggles and a bound composition notebook (you can use the same notebook that you used for Chem 107).
· Safety goggles in lab are 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.
· Course Withdraw: October 24th is the last day to withdraw from a full spring 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.
· 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.
