Additional Remarks
 To be able to pass the CHEM113 course,
STARTING FROM 9th SEPTEMBER 2015,
all CHEM-113 Lab Sessions and Post-lab Exercise Sessions must be
attended, and related formal Lab. Reports must be submitted according
to the deadlines given.

There are no make-up sessions in this course!

Acquaint yourself with the day’s experiment and solve the problems
given at the end of the notes for each experiment in the Laboratory
Manual before coming to the lecture/laboratory.

In each lab session, a data-sheet/observation sheet will be given to
you before the start of the experiment. You should fill it carefully
during the experiment and take additional notes if and when you
think necessary. You will use this data sheet/observation sheet
when answering questions during Post-lab Exercise Session.
 The Post-lab Exercise will involve questions ON THE EXPERIMENT
PERFORMED IN THE PRECEEDING LAB SESSION. THE AVERAGE OF
MARK OF THESE EXERCISES WILL COUNT 40% OF YOUR OVERALL
MARK FOR THE COURSE.

You are asked to submit TWO FORMAL LAB REPORTS ON THE
EXPERIMENTS INDICATED AS (*R)

Lab reports must be submitted as hard and soft copies!

You should always have your laboratory coat and safety glasses on when
you are working in the laboratory.

You must wear appropriate clothes for safety. Otherwise, you will not be
allowed to conduct your experiment, which means that you will fail.
