2. Objectives
Goal 1. To deepen the student’s undertaking of chemistry by doing “hands-on” experiments.
Objectives:
a. Student will read the lab requirements entirely and complete the pre-lab study before
each lab period.
b. Student will read the lab procedure and perform the necessary tasks to complete the
lab.
c. Student will evaluate and analyze data, perform the calculations that are requested and
answer all post lab questions assigned to each lab.
Goal 2. This course will explain the basic concepts, theories and definitions associated with the field
of Chemistry (University Goal 1, Department Goal 2)
Objectives:
a. Student will describe the concept utilized in each lab.
b. Student will summarize the theory behind the experiment.
c. Student will identify and apply definitions used in each lab.
Goal 3. To develop technical, analytical, quantitative skills
Objectives:
a. Student will develop techniques that will enable them to perform the lab while also
being safety conscious and productive.
b. Student will perform the procedure outlined for each lab, represent diagrammatically all
concepts and assess the results obtained.
c. Student will become proficient in quantitative techniques using measuring instruments
and glassware.
Students with disabilities will be helped as follows:
a. Assisting in recording lectures and/or securing lectures notes.
b. Offering additional faculty instruction.
c. Offering special tutoring.
d. Providing suitable methods of evaluation.

Laboratory Safety Rules
1) Students will participate in the right-to know training and complete a form indicating
comprehension and anticipated compliance. Students will be informed and properly trained to
use any potentially hazardous equipment or materials in the laboratory component of this
course.
2) Safety glasses must be worn at all times in the laboratory. If a dry lab (no
chemicals/glassware/fire) is scheduled, the instructor will indicate that; please do not forget to
bring the safety glasses with you; the Department of Chemistry does not supply safety glasses
and therefore we do not keep reserves. If you don’t bring your safety glasses and they are
needed for the experiments, you will be asked to leave and your score for the lab will be zero.
3) No food, drink, lipstick and smoking/tobacco producers are permitted for use in the laboratory
at any time.
4) All accidents/spills must immediately be reported to the instructor and, if necessary, an accident
report filled out in Room 244, Science Center.
5) Students are responsible for their assigned work area and equipment. Excessive breakage or
items returned in an unacceptable condition may result in a charged to the student.
6) Long pants and long-sleeves shirts are required for doing experiment. No sandals and open-toe
shoes are allowed to work in the lab.
7) Students who fashion long hair are required to tie in ponytail. This is a requirement strictly
related to safety and we apologize for the inconvenience.
8) By maintaining the safety rules, we expect that all students, indicating a pregnant student,
should be able to carry out procedures safety. However, it is the department’s professional
advice that pregnant students should be advised NOT to take a lab course unless she is willing to
understand and assume the risks. She should certainly be seeking and following proper medical
advice from her physician and consultation with Office of Accessibility Services.

1) Lab Hand-Out or Report
a. The pre-lab study will be covered at the beginning of each lab in a question-and-answers
session.
b. The lab report/data sheet will be completed during the scheduled lab time and turned in at
the beginning of the next lab. Each lab report will be graded out of 50 points. Lab report

should be done individually. Any evidence of copying lab reports will results in zero for that
lab. The required format of the report is as follows:
a) Experimental Title
b) Name
c) Lab Partners Name(s)
d) Date of Experiment
e) Date of Submission
f) Abstract
g) Introduction
h) Experimental Details and Procedures
i) Results and Discussion
j) Conclusion
k) References
c. No credit will be given for the lab report if the lab was not attended.
2) Lab Performance
Included in the category are laboratory safety which includes wearing safety glasses, following
instructions and cleanliness of lab station. Periodic checks will be done on lab drawers for
cleanliness and excess equipment. Late attendance and early leave will be monitored by
instructor and reflected on the lab performance. The instructor will assess student performance
and good safety practices.
3) Attendance
Attendance is required for all lab sessions. One (1) missed lab may be made-up in exceptional
circumstances only with valid excuses and pre-approved by student’s advisor. Valid excuses
include: jury duty, athletes competitions, and hospitalization. For all such situations, please
present documentation. The make-up will be scheduled by sending an email to the lab
instructor. Students who miss more than one lab while having acceptable excuses will be asked
to complete a lab project. Students who missed more than on lab and Do NOT have excuses will
need to drop CHEM211 laboratory section.
