Attendance: An attendance policy is established by each instructor and may not be uniform
throughout the department. In general, class attendance is expected for the best possible learning
experience, and will almost always improve your grade. Although no points will be awarded for
class attendance, your instructor may deduct points for missed classes. Missed assignments
cannot be made-up unless the instructor is notified BEFORE the quiz/exercise with a valid
excuse (i.e., athletic participation, severe illness).
Academic Conduct: The Department takes the issue of academic honesty seriously and we encourage you
to conduct yourself with the highest level of integrity at all times. As outlined by the University’s Code of
Student Academic Conduct, academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, and/or
improper collaboration. Instances of academic misconduct will be dealt with in the following manner: a first
infraction will result in a student receiving a zero for that assignment. A second infraction will result in a
student receiving a failing grade (F) for the course. These are the minimal penalties for academic misconduct
in this course and additional actions may be taken if warranted by the nature of the academic misconduct. All
actions will be taken as directed by the College of Arts and Sciences Code of Academic Student Conduct.
Electronic devices: Laptops may be used during lecture only for taking notes. The use of any other
electronic devices is not permitted. This includes cell phones and other text messaging devices, cameras,
tablets, and personal music players. Cell phones will be turned off during class time. Violations will result
in forfeiture of points. Absolutely no photography is permitted.

Your participation grade in lecture and lab is a
subjective
measure of your classroom and laboratory involvement based on overall attendance, your degree of preparedness,
participation in class discussions, cleanliness, cooperative spirit, and willingness to go beyond the call of duty. For
your lab partners will also provide peer feedback valuable in determining this grade.
Specific details on each assignment will be given to students as they occur throughout the semester. Descriptions of
all assignments and/or projects, along with any corresponding rubric when appropriate. The guidelines and
instructions for this assignment will be given to the students in early October. The Skills Practicum in lab will be
announced prior two weeks prior the date of the practicum. The practicum may include: basic calculations of
concentrations, Pipetting accuracy, sterile technique, agarose gel loading and microscopy skills.
A basic description of the lab projects we will be doing this semester will be covered in Week 2 of the course. Labs
will be posted as PDF files on WEB-CT as they are done.
GRADE SCALE
Guaranteed letter grades for both lecture and lab will be based on the following scale:

PRE- AND POST- COURSE ASSESSMENT
In this course you will be exposed to reading and critically analyzing primary literature as it relates to the field of
Genetics. As such, you will be given an UNGRADED Pre- and Post- Course Assessment Questions based on a primary
literature article. Details will be given during the second week of the course.
8/16/2011
LECTURE CONDUCT: ATTENDANCE POLICY, PARTICIPATION, CELL PHONES
You are expected to attend each lecture session and be prompt in doing so. The chapter(s) and/or pages to
be discussed each day should be read prior to the lecture period. You are expected to be an active
participant in the classroom and laboratory, asking questions and engaging in discussions.
The use of cellular phones during the lecture or laboratory sessions is prohibited. This includes not only
phone calls but also sending/receiving text messages. If you violate this policy, you will be asked to leave
the class and will be counted as absent, regardless of the amount of time remaining in the period.
ISSUE RESOLUTION
If a problem arises regarding class or lab that requires resolution between professor and student, please
schedule an appointment to discuss the issue personally. Email is not considered an appropriate avenue
for discussion or mediation.
ADA COMPLIANCE
Academic Accommodation: “Ohio Northern does not discriminate against qualified individuals with
disabilities. Accordingly, the school will provide reasonable academic accommodations when the student
provides sufficient documentation describing his or her disability and the accommodation(s) requested in
accordance with school procedures.” If you have a documented disability, please inform your instructor
during the first week of class so support can be provided to help you be successful in class. If you have any
questions about ONU’s policies, please
* See the student handbook, Appendix E – ONU Disabilities Policy
* Visit the Disability Services website: http://wwwnew.onu.edu/student_life/disability_services
* Contact Melissa Verb: 419-772-2534 or m-verb@onu.edu (A &S students).
E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE / WEB-CT / TECHNOLOGY
I will rely on e-mail correspondence and WEB-CT to deliver assignments and announcements throughout
the semester. You are expected to check your email on a regular basis. You must use your ONU email
account because that is where I will send all e-mails. Additionally, all students are required to set up a
WEB-CT account to access the BIO2101 course. Make sure you can properly use WEB-CT as a tool and
platform for your learning process this semester. If you are having problems with your email or WEB-CT
access you should inform me ASAP and check to be sure that you are aware of all assignments and
announcements. If you fail to turn in an assignment as a result of not checking your e-mail or WEB-CT, you
forfeit the opportunity to make up the assignment.
Laptops – If you have a laptop, it would be considered a good practice to bring that laptop to class and lab.
ASSIGNMENTS: HOMEWORK, LITERATURE ASSIGNMENTS, QUIZZES,ETC.
Periodically you will receive homework assignments. The due date for the homework assignment will be specified
when it is given. Reading and critical evaluation of primary literature will also be relied upon extensively in this course
to help solidify and expand upon concepts covered in lecture. You will be given corresponding writing assignments or
questions in conjunction with these readings; dates of these assignment due dates will be announced in lecture.
LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY
8/16/2011
All assignments given in class will assigned a specific due date and time, generally speaking assignments will
be due at the start of class. Assignments not turned in on time will result in a drop of a letter grade for
every day that it is late. If you do not hand in a particular assignment at the designated time, i.e. you hand
in assignment at 5 p.m. that
was due at the start of class, this counts as 1 day late.
EXAMS
Exam material will be from the lecture notes, primary papers, and discussions. Exams will be a combination
of multiple choice, diagram identification, fill in the blank, matching, short answer and essay questions.
Absence from an exam without prior approval from the instructor will result in a zero grade for that exam.
There will be no make-up exams after the fact! On receiving your graded exam, you should look over the
exam/paper to determine if any inconsistencies exist. Any discrepancies must be rectified within five class
days of receiving the graded exam. After that time there will be no further consideration of grade changes
for that exam.
If a student must miss an examination for a legitimate and compelling reason (student is ill; illness or death
in the family) the student must notify us via email PRIOR to the examination. As soon as possible
thereafter, the student must submit in writing the reason for the absence, along with a physician’s note,
etc. Students will ONLY be granted permission to take a make-up examination provided ALL of the above
guidelines have been met.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
 Academic integrity is one of the basic principles of a university community. Ohio Northern
University encourages and expects the highest standards of academic honesty from all students.
The Arts and Sciences Code of Academic Student Conduct states that cheating, plagiarism, and
other forms of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary action. Refer to the Arts and
Sciences Code of Academic Student Conduct for additional information.

For information on plagiarism, I recommend that you visit www.plagiarism.com for
definitions, examples and ways to avoid plagiarism.

In this course we will also be utilizing the web resource TURNITIN.COM to avoid and detect
any plagiarism that may occur on written assignments.

Proper citation methods are key to helping avoid accidental plagiarism.

Please note that in a laboratory course, academic honesty extends to experimentation and
results, e.g. you cannot use the results of another student’s experiments as your own, you may not
alter data you obtain in any way, etc.
GENERAL LAB POLICIES:


Attendance – Presence in lab is mandatory. However, if an absence should be necessary (see above
guidelines), the instructor must be informed of the absence prior to lab. Note that it is in your best
interest to attend lab as any exercises or assignments completed during lab may not necessarily be
able to be made up due to the experiential nature of the course.
Respect of Equipment - Throughout this semester you will be using a lot of expensive equipment. You
are to treat all equipment with extreme respect and with the knowledge that other/future students will
be using this equipment as well, so the equipment must always be left in the same condition in which







8/16/2011
you found it. This is especially true when using pipettes. The instructor will post resources on WEB-CT
regarding proper use of equipment as equipment is used throughout the course. It is assumed that you
will read and/or watch these resources.
Equipment Damage – If damage should occur to equipment or supplies, the cost of the item(s) will be
charged to the student in order to assist with replacement costs (to a $100.00 maximum). Failure to
pay for damage incurred will result in a hold on course grades until said fee is paid. At the beginning of
the lab period report any equipment damage, not incurred by you, so that you will not be held
responsible for that damage. If it becomes obvious that you are unable to care for your equipment, the
instructor reserves the right to restrict your use.
Lab Safety – Every student is required to carefully read STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES sheet
that will be posted on WEB-CT; each student must then sign the Student Sign-Off Sheet to establish
your commitment to maintain these procedures.
Lab Protection – Lab goggles will be assigned for your use when handling hazardous materials.
ALWAYS wear a lab coat when working in the lab to protect clothing and skin from contamination or
stains. Gloves are also required when in contact with potentially hazardous materials. Close toe
shoes are required to avoid accidental spillage of biohazards on your feet.
Lab Etiquette –It is the instructor’s job to facilitate lab (not clean up after grown adults), please
maintain your own lab space properly as it will determine, in part, your lab participation grade.
Proper space management is essential in avoiding accidental infection or contamination. You must
always leave the lab in the condition in which you entered it. Also, please see tube labeling below as
part of proper lab etiquette.
Solutions – In this lab you will be doing independent research projects, which means there may be
many times when I may not be immediately aware that a particular solution is running low. Please
make sure that you inform me when a solution needs made. Also, if you make a particular stock
solution, make sure to aliquot out a bit for yourself and leave the rest in the designated stock
solution area. Please also be keenly aware of the storage conditions for any solutions/reagents that
you are using for experimentation.
Responsibility – In this course you will all be allowed significant independence, which in turn entails
being responsible at all times in the lab, i.e. adhering to the SOP and the guidelines of this syllabus.
If I notice that these guidelines are continually not being met, it will likely result in removal of lab
privileges for all students.
Time Outside of Lab: Lab projects require that more attention be paid to time management than
you may be accustomed to. For example, one lab with Drosophila may require 1.5 hrs to set up
crosses, but then will also require several visits during the week to successfully maintain your live
cultures. Students are expected to do the work necessary to complete all lab projects, often at their
own convenience. When lab projects begin, the instructor will inform the students of times when
they will be able to access the lab outside of their scheduled lab time.
LABELING OF TUBES, ETC:
Proper labeling of experiments, particularly tube labeling, is critical to ALL molecular biology experiments,
failure to properly label tubes can result in tragic things such as having your tube accidentally miscarded or
having to repeat an experiment due to ambiguity of the contents contained within the tube.

All tubes, racks, etc. in use by a particular student MUST be labeled with the following information.
- Initials (Use full name when space permits)
- Experiment Identification, e.g. plasmid pXYZ mini prep
- Date
8/16/2011

BIO 452, SP11
Label tubes/Racks/Boxes in multiple locations, e.g. for an eppendorf tube, label the top AND the
side.
LABORATORY NOTEBOOK
A proper laboratory notebook is a DAILY record of your activities, data, interpretations, and epiphanies while
conducting your research.
Your notebook must include, but is not limited to the following:
1) Every Page must be numbered and dated.
2) Lab notebook must be maintained in INK, not pencil.
3) Purpose of the experiment/procedure you are performing and some indication of the results
you expect
4) Daily Record of Results
5) Discussion of those results
Your lab notebook should be a reflection of everything that you are doing in lab, AS YOU ARE DOING IT. You should
not ever be going back and filling in the blanks of your lab notebook the day(s) after you have conducted the
experiment. You should be writing/recording in your notebook before, during and after every experiment. Your lab
notebook MUST include sufficient detail such that any outside person who reads your notebook would be able to
exactly repeat your experiments. When doing a repeat of a particular experiment, you can refer back to the initial
page on which you described the experiment, but be sure to note any modifications. If you are performing a protocol
from another source, either properly cite the source or staple a copy of the protocol in your notebook.
You may use either a bound laboratory notebook or a 3-ring binder as your laboratory notebook, so long as the
above guidelines are met.
Your laboratory notebook will be subjected to 2 UNANNOUNCED checks during the course of the semester, with each
check being worth 25 pts.

7.
Be able to recognize different structures and organs from the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems.
Course requirements
You are expected to know a reasonable amount of fundamental biology upon entering this course, including at least a superficial
understanding of the levels of biological organization, biological chemistry, cell structure, function, and energetics, and the basic
anatomy of the human body and its organ systems. You can review these topics in the first four chapters of your textbook.
Attendance:
You are expected to attend the lectures and are solely responsible for any material missed for any reason. You are required to
attend and participate in the laboratory. For excused absences from the laboratory, you may be permitted to attend another lab
section or study the lab materials off hours.
Final Exam: Friday December 16th 2011 SA 105, time 10:45AM-1:15 PM

Your positive, constructive participation in class, particularly in lab will go a long way toward my decision concerning borderline
cases.
The midterm exam will be given in the regular classroom at the regular meeting time. The format of both the midterm and final
exams may include short answer, fill-in-the-blank, definitions, and matching questions. You may need to label diagrams or
identify labeled items on diagrams. Topics discussed in lab are fair game for the lecture exams.
The laboratory practical exams will be given in the lab room on the assigned day. You will not be permitted to use any items on
the lab exams other than a writing implement. These are timed exams with limited time per question.
As the semester progresses, you are expected to read the chapters in the lab manual relevant to each lab before attending that
lab. Throughout and at the end of each chapter there are review questions for you to answer. You will turn in your lab manual
for grading at the time of each lab exam. You will receive credit for completing those review questions for each chapter, up to
10% of your total grade for completing all the questions in the lab manual.
Quizzes will be administered through WebCT or in class (I will reserve the right to quiz you in the beginning of each lecture or lab,
in which case the quiz will consist of 10 to 15 questions related to the material covered in the previous classes). These will consist
of multiple choice, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions over topics relevant to either lecture or lab or both.
Test policy
8/16/2011
If you miss an assigned test or practical exam, a make-up will be granted only in the event of a conflict with an official universitysponsored event (advanced notice required) or approved extenuating circumstances. I recognize that some events requiring your
absence are not predictable. In such instances, you need to make a good faith effort to contact me as soon as possible regarding
your absence.
Policy on disabilities
We will make reasonable accommodations for any students with disabilities. If you believe that you have a disability and need
accommodation, go to the following website:
http://www-new.onu.edu/student_life/disability_resources
and contact the appropriate college representative for more information. Once your request for accommodation is approved,
the college will contact your instructor concerning the necessary accommodation. You will still need to notify your instructor in
advance of any assignment concerning which options among those approved by the college you would like to use.
Conduct and attire
In both lecture and laboratory, silence cell phones and other personal electronic devices. Do not use your phones for texting or
other activities during class. At the first instance of personal electronics usage for purposes other than note-taking in class, the
class will be reminded of this policy. For any subsequent infraction, the offending individual will have 5% deducted from his or
her grade, which may be made up by completing an extra assignment of the instructor’s design (remediation).
You may record lectures if you choose and you may use a laptop, netbook, or tablet during lecture for taking notes. Do not,
however, use such devices for purposes of recreation (e.g., games, social networking, and so on) during class. The above
remediation policy applies here as well.
Food, beverages and other consumables are prohibited in the laboratory. Proper laboratory attire, including closed-toed shoes is
required as the preservatives used on the cadavers are caustic.
The materials and specimens we will use in the laboratory are expensive and difficult to replace. Therefore, I expect you to show
proper care and responsibility for all the materials and specimens and to follow instructions when using or studying them. The
human cadavers that we use are the remains of real people who were generous enough to donate their bodies for others to use
in the hope that all of us may benefit from the experience. Please recognize and respect their generosity by treating their
remains with dignity and by learning as much as you can from them.
Policy on academic misconduct
As indicated in the Student Code of Conduct academic misconduct includes but is not limited to plagiarism, cheating, and
improper collaboration. The penalty for the first infraction is a zero on that assignment. The penalty for a subsequent infraction
is a failing grade in the course. Other disciplinary actions will be taken as directed by the College of Arts and Sciences Code of
Academic Student Conduct.
Disclaimer
This syllabus and attached schedule represents the intent of the instructor in offering this course. While every attempt will be
made to follow this syllabus, the instructor reserves the right to modify the contents as necessary to meet the needs of the
course and to accommodate scheduling changes due to unforeseen events.

anatomy of the human body and its organ systems. You can review these topics in the first four chapters of your textbook.
Attendance:
You are expected to attend the lectures and are solely responsible for any material missed for any reason. You are required to
attend and participate in the laboratory. For excused absences from the laboratory, you may be permitted to attend another lab
section or study the lab materials off hours.
Final Exam: Friday December 16th 2011 SA 105, time 10:45AM-1:15 PM

Your positive, constructive participation in class, particularly in lab will go a long way toward my decision concerning borderline
cases.
The midterm exam will be given in the regular classroom at the regular meeting time. The format of both the midterm and final
exams may include short answer, fill-in-the-blank, definitions, and matching questions. You may need to label diagrams or
identify labeled items on diagrams. Topics discussed in lab are fair game for the lecture exams.
The laboratory practical exams will be given in the lab room on the assigned day. You will not be permitted to use any items on
the lab exams other than a writing implement. These are timed exams with limited time per question.
As the semester progresses, you are expected to read the chapters in the lab manual relevant to each lab before attending that
lab. Throughout and at the end of each chapter there are review questions for you to answer. You will turn in your lab manual
for grading at the time of each lab exam. You will receive credit for completing those review questions for each chapter, up to
10% of your total grade for completing all the questions in the lab manual.
Quizzes will be administered through WebCT or in class (I will reserve the right to quiz you in the beginning of each lecture or lab,
in which case the quiz will consist of 10 to 15 questions related to the material covered in the previous classes). These will consist
of multiple choice, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions over topics relevant to either lecture or lab or both.
Test policy
If you miss an assigned test or practical exam, a make-up will be granted only in the event of a conflict with an official universitysponsored event (advanced notice required) or approved extenuating circumstances. I recognize that some events requiring your
absence are not predictable. In such instances, you need to make a good faith effort to contact me as soon as possible regarding
your absence.
Policy on disabilities
We will make reasonable accommodations for any students with disabilities. If you believe that you have a disability and need
accommodation, go to the following website:
http://www-new.onu.edu/student_life/disability_resources
and contact the appropriate college representative for more information. Once your request for accommodation is approved,
the college will contact your instructor concerning the necessary accommodation. You will still need to notify your instructor in
advance of any assignment concerning which options among those approved by the college you would like to use.
8/16/2011
Conduct and attire
In both lecture and laboratory, silence cell phones and other personal electronic devices. Do not use your phones for texting or
other activities during class. At the first instance of personal electronics usage for purposes other than note-taking in class, the
class will be reminded of this policy. For any subsequent infraction, the offending individual will have 5% deducted from his or
her grade, which may be made up by completing an extra assignment of the instructor’s design (remediation).
You may record lectures if you choose and you may use a laptop, netbook, or tablet during lecture for taking notes. Do not,
however, use such devices for purposes of recreation (e.g., games, social networking, and so on) during class. The above
remediation policy applies here as well.
Food, beverages and other consumables are prohibited in the laboratory. Proper laboratory attire, including closed-toed shoes is
required as the preservatives used on the cadavers are caustic.
The materials and specimens we will use in the laboratory are expensive and difficult to replace. Therefore, I expect you to show
proper care and responsibility for all the materials and specimens and to follow instructions when using or studying them. The
human cadavers that we use are the remains of real people who were generous enough to donate their bodies for others to use
in the hope that all of us may benefit from the experience. Please recognize and respect their generosity by treating their
remains with dignity and by learning as much as you can from them.
Policy on academic misconduct
As indicated in the Student Code of Conduct academic misconduct includes but is not limited to plagiarism, cheating, and
improper collaboration. The penalty for the first infraction is a zero on that assignment. The penalty for a subsequent infraction
is a failing grade in the course. Other disciplinary actions will be taken as directed by the College of Arts and Sciences Code of
Academic Student Conduct.
Disclaimer
This syllabus and attached schedule represents the intent of the instructor in offering this course. While every attempt will be
made to follow this syllabus, the instructor reserves the right to modify the contents as necessary to meet the needs of the

Required Texts:
Krebs, Charles J. 2008. Ecology: the experimental analysis of distribution and abundance, 6th ed. New York:
Benjamin Cummings, Inc. (ISBN-13: 978-0321507433)
McMillan, Victoria E. 2006. Writing Papers in the Biological Sciences, 4th edition. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s.
(ISBN: 0-312-44083-9)
Course Objectives:
This course will introduce you to some of the fundamental concepts of ecology. Ecology is an integrative science
incorporating many disciplines (e.g., botany, zoology, evolution, geology, algebra, calculus, microbiology, animal behavior,
statistics) that facilitate a more comprehensive understanding the relationships between organisms and their environment.
It also is a science that has broad application to many circumstances that are not related directly to the biological sciences
(e.g., philosophy, sociology, and economics); therefore, it is a discipline that is often used (and misused) by many
individuals of various professional interests. Therefore, while this ten-week course will provide academic ‘tools’ that you
can use for future coursework and perhaps professional careers, it also will have application to a number of biological,
economic, and sociological issues that you may previously not have even contemplated. Most importantly, I hope it is also
a course that you will truly enjoy!

1.
Preliminary and Final Examinations: Sixty percent of your final grade will be determined from your performance on
three preliminary examinations (September 19 and October 19) and one final examination (to be determined). Each
exam will test you primarily on the material that followed the previous examination, but may also incorporate themes
covered by previous examinations. In other words, do not be quick to forget the material you learned early in the
semester!
2.
Assignments, Worksheets, and Problem Sets. To better understand some of the analytical tools and methods
ecologists use to describe and compare populations, communities, and ecosystems, it is sometimes helpful to actually
conduct such analyses with actual data sets. Either from data that you will gather in class or that I will provide, you will
complete a number of homework assignments during the semester. All assignments should be handed in at the
beginning of class on the day they are due (please note tentative due dates in the syllabus). Unless arrangements are
8/16/2011
made in advance, I will deduct 10% per day for all late work. To ensure that your assignments get to me in time, you
MUST hand every assignment directly to me (no emails). It is your responsibility to ensure that I have received all tardy
assignments.
3.
Research Paper. To better understand the scientific process and the art of scientific writing you will design and complete
a small research project. Working in groups of 1-4 students, you will design and conduct an approved research project.
The topic is of your choice. Keep in mind that with time constraints your project should be relatively simple and straightforward, but also should be designed to adequately address a scientific question. As a group, you must submit a oneparagraph proposal that describes the ecological problem/question, the hypothesis and prediction(s) to be tested, and
the methodology/logic used to address these predictions. Upon approval, you will conduct your research, then, following
the protocol and guidelines for formatting a paper to be submitted to an ecological journal, you will each individually
write and submit a 5-page scientific paper.
4. Environmental Threat Symposium & Presentation. Many of you are interested in this course because of its relevance
and application to environmental issues. Because we cover a lot of other information during the semester, we
unfortunately will be unable to cover those environmental issues that may be of great interest to you. One way we could
address these interests would be for you to research a topic of your choice (with my approval) and teach the class about
this environmental issue. For the final laboratory periods of the semester we will have an ‘environmental issue
symposium’ where you will present a 10-minute talk to educate the class about your issue. Because we all have broad and
diverse interests, there is great flexibility in the topics you can choose; however, I do require that you research your topic
well by considering peer-reviewed primary literature. Also note that you will be held responsible for the material
presented during the symposium, and that material from the symposium may be used for the final exam. I will provide
further guidelines regarding the format and deadlines for the lectures within the next few weeks.
Your Responsibilities:
1.
Attend lectures. I will not require that you attend lectures. That is a matter for you to decide. However, through
attending lectures you will be better able to comprehend the vast amount of material we will cover in ten weeks. Out of
respect for the rest of the class, please come to class on time and prepared to participate in class discussions, having read
the assignments beforehand. Most, if not all, of the material we discuss will be introduced to you during the lecture
section. Lectures are designed to provide an organized synopsis and perhaps some insight regarding the logic
responsible for formulating many of the concepts, and will serve as the foundation to the discussions and writing.
Although coming to lectures is optional, I do require that you must attend class during both laboratory and examination
dates. If you are unable to attend class on these dates, I require that you MUST bring written documentation of your
illness, university activity, or other circumstance that prevents you from attending.
2.
Academic Misconduct Policy. Although I encourage you to work with others, all work you submit for grading should be
written by you alone! Please refer to the University’s Code of Student Academic Conduct (i.e., Appendix D in Ohio
Northern University’s Student Handbook, which you received upon matriculation) for a description of the potential
disciplinary actions associated with academic misconduct.
3.
Read the assignments. In addition to the assigned readings, I expect you to read the additional assigned papers listed
within the syllabus before class. Your ability to thoughtfully and critically discuss many of the topics often reflects the
time and effort in understanding the assigned readings. Please do come to class prepared, having read the articles
beforehand.
4. Actively participate in discussions and activities. The success of this course rests on your ability to digest and
comprehend the topics presented during lectures and laboratories. Your ability to comprehend these topics is related not
only to your having read the material beforehand, but also how well you can communicate your thoughts and ideas with
others. Therefore, your success in this course really depends on your willingness and ability to discuss the issues at hand.
Discussions are most productive when all ideas and thoughts are considered and respected. Remember, there is never an
“incorrect” nor “stupid” answer or idea to bring forth during discussion. Also keep in mind that some people take longer
than others to verbalize their thoughts- be patient and respectful of others. Additionally, if at times you find yourself
doing most of the talking and dominating a discussion, it may be best to listen to what others have to say.

Grading Scale – A = 90%-100%, B = 80%- 90%, C = 70% - 80%, D = 60% - 70%, F= Below 60%
Lecture Exams – There will be 5 exams covering one unit of material for the semester. The exams,
including the final, are not comprehensive, although material and concepts you learn early in the course
will still be applicable throughout the remainder of the class. Exam format can include a mixture of the
following items: multiple choice, short answer, fill-in the blank, and/or matching. It is ill-advised that you
miss any of the exams but should the circumstance occur the make-up policy is that the student will be
required to take an exam in the format of all essay.
Lab Quizzes – There will be 13 quizzes that will cover material from the previous week’s dissection, as
well as at least two questions regarding that current week’s dissection (i.e. material from the dissector
readings). Quiz format will be a miniature lab practical, requiring you to answer questions at stations from
bones, models, x-rays or the cadavers. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped/discarded for calculating
final grades.
Attendance – Attendance at ALL lectures and labs is expected. Given the importance of lab, specific
points for attendance will be taken from each lab (5pts per week). The only excused absences are illness
(requires a note from the nurse or a doctor) or a University-sponsored event. Unexcused Absences greater
than three in a semester may lower your final grade. If you are ill, and must miss class, you must contact
the instructor before the next class. If you must miss class due to a University-sponsored event, you must
contact me before you miss class so that arrangements can be made for any missed work. Any late work
from an unexcused absence will be assessed a 10% penalty for each day it is late.
Academic Conduct – As indicated in the Student Handbook (Appendix D) [Code of Student Academic
Conduct], any academic misconduct as described in the handbook, including but not limited to plagiarism,
cheating, and/or improper collaboration on assignments will result in a zero for that assignment, or other
sanctions determined by the instructor based on the severity of the offense. A second offense will result in
failure of the course, and notification of both the Dean of the College in which the infraction occurred,
and the Dean of the College of the student’s registration.

POLICIES & PROCEDURES:
The cadavers you are going to work on represent the remains of individuals who have
donated their bodies for educational purposes. It is an unusual and valuable privilege to be
allowed to do what you are about to do. It is absolutely imperative that you afford these
cadavers, and all other material that represents the remains of human beings, the
appropriate high degree of respect. In order to help ensure proper behavior in the lab,
certain rules have been established to which you will adhere:
1. Safety and respect come first and foremost!
3. No food or drink should be taken into the lab.
4. No cameras or other photography are allowed in the laboratory at ANY time.
5. No cell phones usage during either lecture or lab. Phones should either be turned off or on
silent pager mode. Failure to do so will result in a loss of 5pts per incidence after an initial
warning. Recording of lectures is also not allowed unless permission has been given by the
instructor.
6. No cadaveric or skeletal material should ever be taken outside of the lab.
7. Bring your dissector and atlas to every lab.
8. Appropriate clothing, including shoes that cover the entire foot are required in the lab
(Sandals, shorts, and inappropriate t-shirts are not allowed). You must wear your lab coats
every time you enter the lab or you will be asked to leave, AND you will lose attendance
points for that day.
9. Because of the presence of embalming chemicals in the dissecting lab, any student who is or
believes she may be pregnant should notify an instructor. She will be advised to consult with
her physician about whether or not to proceed with the course.
10. ALL tools should be cleaned and properly stored at the end of the dissection day!
MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY I – BIOL 3241 (Formerly BIOL 324 and Part of BIOL 326)
FALL SEMESTER 2011
8/16/2011
Course Description: The first in a sequence of two courses (continued in Medical Physiology II), that
provides an in-depth survey of the physiology of human systems. The course involves both a lecture and
laboratory component that will emphasize integration of parameters from all levels of tissue and organ
system function. Where possible, it will include comparisons across various vertebrate and invertebrate
species; as well as scenarios that require problem solving and practical application of physiological
principles. Topics covered in this course include: functional significance of features associated with
transport across the plasma membrane, principles associated with excitable cells, functional organization of
the nervous system including specific sensory pathways and somatic and autonomic motor output,
organization and activation of skeletal muscle, and endocrine and reproductive structures and functions.
The laboratories are designed to enhance the understanding of physiological principles presented in lecture
and will incorporate some classical experiments pertaining to neural, skeletal muscle, and endocrine
physiology. Students will also work in teams to conduct literature reviews and design research proposals
that upon approval by the appropriate university committee will be conducted in the second semester (in
Medical Physiology II).

Course Information / Policies:
Lectures are provided as a guide for out of class study. Review of your notes and reading of corresponding
material in the text is essential for your success in this course. Unless otherwise directed, you are
responsible for all reading associated with lecture material irrespective of whether the material is fully
covered in class.
Laboratory manuals will be available from the instructor the first day of class. Students are encouraged to
read the appropriate background material and corresponding laboratory exercises prior to each laboratory.
Weekly pre-laboratory quizzes will be administered to assess your understanding of the purpose and
protocols associated with the laboratory exercises. Students will work in groups, with three to four
students per group. During the lab, record all data and observations accurately. Although the physical
collection of data may not take the entire laboratory period, students are strongly encouraged to discuss
and complete the questions pertaining to the laboratory prior to leaving.
If you find that you are having problems with the course material, be certain to contact your instructor.
Help is readily available BUT it is solely your responsibility to seek help if required. The material that will be
covered is inherently challenging and you may find additional discussions helpful.
Cheating, plagiarism, and other unethical activities are absolutely discouraged as any one of these will
cause a student a "zero" grade for the particular quiz / exam / lab report and the incident will be brought
to the attention of the Department Chair, the College Dean and the Dean of Students. A second offense
will result in a failing grade for the course.
Attendance:
Attendance at all lectures and laboratories is expected. You should notify your instructor if you plan to be
absent from class. You will be responsible for making up any lecture material missed. Make-ups for missed
labs are at the discretion of the instructor and must be arranged with the instructor.
Learning Assessment and Grades:
Although each instructor will be responsible for 5 weeks of the course content and will write the tests and
quizzes pertaining to the material that they covered; the content corresponding to the testing material will
be agreed upon by all the instructors. Questions pertaining to the course material should be addressed to
the instructor responsible for that material.
A total of 6 quizzes (2 per instructor) will be given. The quizzes will consist of fill-in-the blanks and short
answer questions based on material covered by the instructor responsible for that topic area. There will be
no "make-up" for missed quizzes except under extenuating circumstances. In the latter case, arrangements
must be made with the appropriate course instructor within one week of missing the quiz.
8/16/2011
Students will be expected to submit their own scenarios for potential use in classroom discussions. Each
submitted scenario (no more than two per week) must include a well articulated solution and is worth 0.5
points to a maximum of 8 points. The first term test will include all lecture and related laboratory material
presented in the first five weeks, and the second term test will cover all lecture and related laboratory
material presented in the second five weeks. The final exam will consist of two parts. The first part will
have the same point value as the previous term tests and will cover material presented the last 5 weeks of
the semester; the second part will be comprehensive covering all material presented, including laboratory
content, during the entire semester unless otherwise specified. The format of the term tests and final may
include fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and essay questions.
Laboratory quizzes will be given prior to conducting laboratory exercises to assess understanding of what
scientific principal is being investigated, what data is being collected and what protocol is being followed.
Students in the laboratory will work in teams to complete laboratory exercises, conduct literature reviews,
design solid research proposals, and present the proposals in both oral and written formats. The research
proposal must satisfy the requirements stated in the lab manual (see “Guidelines for: Research Proposal,
IRB or IACUC Approval, Budget Allocation and Oral Presentation”) and must be designed such that, given
approval from the appropriate university committee, research collection can begin in the second semester
(Medical Physiology II). The division of labor as to who writes up the proposal, researches the background,
comes up with the ideas, etc. can be decided among the group members. However, each member is
expected to be familiar with all aspects of their proposal. The grade assigned for the topic selection, final
research proposal, and oral presentation will be based on the scores achieved using the grading rubrics in
the appendix of the lab manual for the oral and written information presented by the group and all
individuals within the group will be assigned the same grade. In addition, each team member will assign a
teamwork score (maximum=5) for each member of the team on his/her performance as a team member
(see teamwork grading rubric in the appendix of the lab manual). Each member’s teamwork score for the
course will be the average of the teamwork scores assigned to them by their group members.
The course grading scheme is as follows:
Item
Six quizzes (25 points each)
Term test 1 (first 5 wks of material)
Term test 2 (second 5 wks of material)
Final exam: Part One (last 5 wks of material)
Final exam: Part Two (comprehensive portion including laboratory content)
Scenarios (0.5 points each)
Topic selection
Pre-lab quizzes (1 point each)
Research Proposal: Abstract (10 pt), Introduction (10 pt), Methods (10 pt), Budget (5),
Predicted Outcomes (4 pt), Literature Cited (5 pt), Spelling/Grammar (4 pt), Completed IRB
or IACUC forms (4), Overall impression (4)

Note: As long as the signed syllabus agreement form is received prior to the deadline, the point
distribution of the term tests will automatically be weighted. The lower term test score will be weighted
8/16/2011
to half the original value and the higher score will be weighted to 1.5 times the original value so that the
total point value for the two tests remains at 200 points.
Grading Policy:
Other than adjustment for errors in addition, quizzes and tests written in pencil will not be re-graded.
Adjustments for errors in addition, or credit not given in tests and quizzes, need to be brought to the
attention of the appropriate instructor within one week following the return of the quiz or test. Since the
weight distribution of the term tests is automatically adjusted to benefit the student, there will be NO
CURVING or ADJUSTING of grades! You should feel free to inquire about, or discuss, your grade with your
instructor at any time (within reason!) during the semester.

All graded assignments will be announced and specific requirements/formats reviewed with the class. The
final examination will consist of 125 comprehensive points to review material from the first three units and
75 points to emphasize the material in the last unit. Your final exam is scheduled for Friday, December
16, 2011 at 10:45 a.m. Final grades will be assigned based upon the total number of points accumulated
by the successful completion of assignments.
The grading scale below will determine the course grade assigned:
A=90-100%
B=80-89%
C=70-79%
D=60-69%
F=0-59%
Attendance Policy: The student is expected to attend all lecture classes, laboratory exercises, and
graded assignments. Attendance points are not assigned in this course, but since lecture material, in
addition to text book material, is covered on exams, absences are likely to adversely affect performance.
Missed exams/quizzes cannot be made-up without acceptable, written verification of the absence.
Academic Misconduct Policy: Academic misconduct of any type (see the Student Handbook) will not
be tolerated. The first incident will result in a “zero” for the assignment. A second incident will cause an
“F” to be assigned for the course grade.
Prerequisites: One year of biology, one year of chemistry, and either Biology 210 or 217. Junior/senior
status is strongly recommended.
Cell Phone Policy: Unless you are a first responder, you should turn your cell phone off during class.
Should you have a valid reason to keep your phone on, please discuss this with me prior to lecture/lab.
Texting during class time is not permitted. Disruption of class with cell phone use will result in a 10 point
penalty for each incident.

Attendance:
Integrity:
Attend lectures and labs regularly and be on time; frequent absences will bring down a borderline performance. No
make-up quizzes will be administered for any reason, so a missed quiz will be one of those dropped. However, if a
student misses two or more regular quizzes, (s)he may earn replacement credit for one quiz score by completing a
common, comprehensive replacement test during the last week of classes.
A lab may only be made up during the same week; you must arrange this with another lab instructor. A missed lab
will earn a score of 0, and more than three unexcused absences from the lab will result in a failing grade for the
course. In case of serious illness, emergency, or conflict with an authorized University function, please contact your
instructor as soon as the conflict is known.
Students in this course are expected to adhere strictly to the ONU Student Code of Academic Conduct (see ONU
Student Handbook).

1.
Come prepared each week for lab. Study the assigned lab procedure and relevant appendices. Obtain any needed table data (molar
masses, etc.). Make procedural notes and data/observation tables in your notebook. All of this should be done before coming to the lab.
The instructor may give a quiz at the start of the lab session.
2.
Write down all primary data and observations directly in your lab notebook, not in your manual, report sheet, or extra papers. Also in
the notebook, answer questions that are asked in the manual procedures and show calculations needed for the report sheet. Notebooks will
be graded weekly (1 point per week).
3.
A completed report sheet for the experiment should be returned to the TA at the end of the lab
period unless otherwise notified.
Your report grade will be based on the correctness of any calculations, including significant figures, the quality of your results, and the
answers to any questions.
4.
Safety goggles are to be worn in the laboratories at all times, unless the instructor specifically notes otherwise (e.g., during prelab
lectures or quizzes). In particular, if any student is conducting an experiment, all students in the lab must have on goggles.
5.
Lab quizzes will be given throughout the semester at the instructor’s discretion. A missed lab period, report, and quiz will be counted
as “0”. If you must miss a lab for medical reasons or for a University- approved function, contact your instructor before the lab and arrange
8/16/2011
to make up the lab that week in another section. Labs cannot be made up in weeks following their assigned time. More than 3 unexcused
absences from the lab will result in a failing grade for the semester.
6.
Points earned in lab make up 10% of your Chem 1711 grade. Lab point distribution is as follows:
Lab Notebooks Report Sheets Lab Quizzes 60 points
Total
200 points
7.
If you are using Chem 1711 to fulfill the general education requirement for scientific literacy, you must generate and submit an
artifact to be assessed by your instructor. The artifact for this course consists of 4 documents - the completed report sheets for experiments
4, 5, and 6 (the series of experiments involving cobalt (II) oxalate dihydrate synthesis and analysis), plus an additional exercise available
from your lab instructor during week 9 of the semester. The artifact must be submitted as one complete packet to your lab instructor no later
than Friday, Nov. 4.

Connect homework Assignment Due Dates and Learn Smart Study Module Availability:
Graded homework assignments will be available on Connect one week prior to the due date. Assignments
must be completed by 11:59 pm on the date listed. The Learn Smart (LS) study module for chapter 1 will be
a graded assignment. All other Learn Smart study modules will not be graded, but will be available as
additional online practice problems.
Learning Goals:
Assuming you fulfill the expectations listed below, you should be able to understand the following concepts
by the end of the semester:
1. Bonding – Particular attention will be paid to elements (H, C, N, O, S, Cl, Br) commonly used in organic
chemistry. Identification of both reasonable and unreasonable bonding modes for these elements will be
crucial in determining the products of different organic reactions.
2. Acids and Bases – Students will be expected to identify the acid or base properties of a variety of
molecules. These concepts will be utilized continually throughout Organic I and II!
3. Functional Groups – Functional groups exhibit varying properties that influence their reactivity in
organic reactions. Students should be able to identify all organic functional groups. We will begin our study
of the specific characteritics of the following functional groups this semester: alkanes, alkenes, alkynes,
alcohols, ethers, epoxides, alkyl halides.
4. Stereochemistry – Students will be expected to identify and visualize the 3D structure of organic
molecules. The spatial arrangement of molecules can be helpful for the determination of reaction
mechanisms.
5. Reaction Mechanisms – The student’s knowledge of bonding, acids, bases, functional groups and
stereochemistry will be utilized to determine reaction mechanisms and products. To predict the correct
products of organic reactions, the student must have a clear understanding of goals 1 – 4.
6. Spectroscopy – Chemists utilize IR, NMR and MS to determine the structure of organic molecules.
8/16/2011
Students will be expected to analyze spectra and determine the products of organic reactions using these
techniques.
Course Expectations:
To succeed in this course, you must commit to the following:
1. To attend class, be attentive and participate in class. While you are in lecture, I expect you to be a fully
engaged participant, rather than a passive observer. This means that no texting, emailing, or chatting
(including Facebook, instant messaging, etc.) during the class session! This is exceptionally distracting for
you (even if you don’t realize it), not to mention your fellow students, and me. If your phone rings, or you
are engaged in a “digital distraction” during class, I reserve the right to move the offending technology from
your immediate vicinity until the lecture has concluded.

2. To read the assigned materials. Your textbook is your primary learning resource. Read the assigned
chapters prior to attending class. In class, I will stress the most important points and clarify difficult material.
Lectures will not necessarily cover all the required material, and all the material covered in class will not
necessarily be covered in the text. Thus, it is very important that you read the text and attend lecture. It is
strongly recommended that you read the assigned chapters prior to attending the lecture on the topic.
3. To work problems on a regular basis. You cannot learn organic chemistry without doing practice
problems. Make certain that you understand the problem instead of just being able to reproduce the solution.
While working problems, it is strongly suggested that you refer back to the text and reread sections of the
previous chapters to find the information you need to answer the question. You should only use the solutions
manual to check problems, not to learn how to do the problems. Some students find it helpful to write up the
problem set as if they are going to turn it in to the instructor. Do a couple problems each day.
Although memorization of some key subject matter is required, it is necessary to learn concepts and apply
them to the task at hand. Do not confuse having memorized class material (or solutions to a particular
problem) as having learned the concepts. Understanding implies application of the information that you have
acquired to solve new problems.
4. To ask for help when you need it. Organic chemistry is a cumulative subject: understanding the new
material requires that you have mastered earlier material. Please visit my office hours or schedule a time to
meet with me and I will answer any questions (big or small) you might have!
Incompletes:
Incompletes will be given only when the work of the course is substantially completed and when the
student's work is of passing quality.
Academic Misconduct:
“Ohio Northern University students have an obligation to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct.”
Any student deviating from these standards will be penalized to the fullest extent possible. See page 44 of the
2009–11 ONU catalog and Appendix F of the Student Handbook.
Students with Disabilities: ONU does not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities.
Accordingly, the school will provide reasonable academic accommodations when the student provides
sufficient documentation describing his or her disability and the accommodation(s) requested in accordance
with school procedures. If you are eligible to receive an accommodation and would like to make a formal
request for this course, please discuss it with me and allow a minimum of two weeks advance notice. You
will also need to contact Melissa Verb, Assistant to the Dean (Getty College of Arts & Sciences) by phone
(x2534) or email (m-verb@onu.edu) with appropriate documentation of your disability.
8/16/2011
Makeups: In the event that you feel that you will be unable to attend a scheduled exam/quiz, you must
contact me prior to (or as soon as safely feasibly) to discuss your situation (by phone and email). If an
excused absence is granted by the instructor, the instructor reserves the right to 1) provide a makeup exam
that contains questions covering material up to the day of the makeup exam, 2) administer a cumulative
makeup exam at the end of term, 3) prorate the final, or 4) use other means of evaluation that are agreeable
between the instructor and the student. The instructor reserves the right to choose the method of makeup,
which will generally be in the form of option #3. Unexcused absences including (but not limited to): sleeping
through the exam, not informing the instructor in a timely fashion, and vacation travel will result in the score
of zero. Makeup exams will not be given to students before the class has taken the exam.

Suggestions:
Your textbook is your primary learning resource. Read the assigned chapters prior to attending class. In
8/16/2011
class, I will stress the most important points and clarify difficult material. Lectures will not necessarily cover
all the required material, and all the material covered in class will not necessarily be covered in the text.
Thus, it is very important that you read the text and attend lecture.
Organic chemistry is a cumulative subject: understanding the new material requires that you have mastered
earlier material. Therefore, it is extremely important that you keep up with the reading. It is strongly
recommended that you read the assigned chapters prior to attending the lecture on the topic.
Work the assigned problems! You cannot learn organic chemistry without doing practice
problems. Make certain that you understand the problem instead of just being able to reproduce the
solution. While working problems, it is strongly suggested that you refer back to the text and reread sections
of the previous chapters to find the information you need to answer the question. You should only use the
solutions manual to check problems, not to learn how to do the problems. Some students find it helpful to
write up the problem set as if they are going to turn it in to the instructor. Do a couple problems each day.
Although memorization of some key subject matter is required, it is necessary to learn concepts and apply
them to the task at hand. Do not confuse having memorized class material (or solutions to a particular
problem) as having learned the concepts. Understanding implies application of the information that you have
acquired to solve new problems.
Studying in small groups (2-3 people) can be very beneficial and is strongly recommended, but do not do the
majority of your studying for this course in groups. The most effective way to study with a group is to
discuss the issues with which you are having the most difficulty.
If you are having difficulty with this course, come to see me ASAP. If you do not know where to start asking
questions, the question that needs answered is “When can I get in to see my instructor?”
Also, see the link to Golden Rules to learning Org. Chem.: http://www2.onu.edu/~b-myers/organic/ Using
cell phones in class is disruptive to the class, please do not use them during lecture.
You are responsible for every problem in the text.

Safety
Please be aware that the lab experiments you will complete require the use of toxic substances.
Thus, prudent attention to safety practices should be followed at all times. Please make your
instructor aware of any medical conditions that might affect your ability to safely complete these
experiments.
Academic Misconduct
While individually carrying out the experiments and techniques is essential, students are encouraged
to share their results and observations in the lab; however, each student must complete lab reports
as well as any other work submitted for grade without help of others. Plagiarism and dishonesty will
be severely penalized. “Ohio Northern University students have an obligation to maintain the highest
standards of ethical conduct.” Any student deviating from these standards will be penalized to the
fullest extent possible. See the 2009–11 ONU catalog and the student handbook.

Lab Policy
In this course, students are given the opportunity to work (at times) outside of the normal laboratory time. Thus,
students are able to work at a pace that suits them. Anytime that a student would like to work outside of
scheduled lab hours, the instructor
should be consulted. At no time, should the students taking this course disrupt the normal activities of another
course. Any instance of unauthorized experiments will be referred to the university governance system.
Finally, anyone not having fun in this course will be referred to the Department Office to receive the
appropriate corrective behavior.

Grading:
Your grade will be determined by the following components:
Laboratory
Midterm Exam 1
Midterm Exam 2
Problem Sets, Quizzes, and
Presentations
Final Exam
Total
20%
20%
20%
20%
20%
100%
Attendance, participation, effort and improvement over the term will also be taken into
account when determining final grades. These will have the most influence when a
student’s scores are near a division of two grades.
Grading Scale:
The following grading scale shows the guaranteed percentages which will be
associated with certain letter grades. The percentages needed to obtain a certain grade
may become lower in the final determination of grades, but will not become higher.
A
B
90% - 100%
80% - 89%
C
D
70% - 79%
60% - 69%
In other words, a student who maintains an average of 90% or higher WILL receive an A in
the class. A student who maintains an 89% average in the course is guaranteed a B in the
class, but may obtain an A depending on overall class performance, attendance and
participation, etc.
71
Reading:
Students should read the entirety of each chapter whether we cover every topic in the
chapter in lecture or not. Some students will benefit from reading the chapters before we
cover them in lecture; others will prefer to read the book directly after we discuss a certain
topic. Either strategy (or both) is acceptable. Choose whichever assists you in the learning
process most, but students are responsible for all of the material in the covered chapters
and not only the material covered in lecture.
Presentations:
In your laboratory groups, you will be designing and giving an in class presentation
during a laboratory session (see the schedule below). The topics and more information
concerning the content and guidelines will be given to you during the first week of lab. This
presentation will be equivalent to twice that of a quiz or problem set (i.e. when figuring the
“problem set, quizzes and presentations” portion of your grade, the presentation grade will
be counted twice in that average).
Exams:
There will be three exams in this course: two midterm exams and a final exam at the end of
the semester. They are scheduled for: October 4th and November 8th during the lab period
and December 16th from 8-10:30am. The first midterm will cover Chapters 1-3 and likely
part of Chapter 4. The second midterm exam will be cumulative over Chapters 1-6 of the
textbook (the thermodynamics section of the course), but will focus more on the second
half of that material than the first. The final exam will be primarily over the quantum
mechanics portion of the course (Chapters 9-11).
Problem Sets and Quizzes:
Periodically, you will be given a list of problems from the chapter or chapters that we have
covered to work through. These will serve to help solidify the concepts we’ve discussed in
lecture. On alternate weeks some of the problems will be collected at the beginning of
lecture on the day they are due and graded. The problems which will be collected will be
noted on the problem sets that you are given. On other weeks (see the schedule below)
quizzes will be given during the Friday lecture period. Combined, the quizzes, collected
problem sets, and the presentation will be worth 20% of your total grade in the course.
The number of quizzes and problems sets may change slightly from the below schedule if
needed.
Laboratory Preparation:
You will be expected to be prepared for your laboratory experiment each week. This year
the time in lab will be fairly constrained, given that many of you are also in the analytical
lab, so preparation will be critically important. This preparation entails having read the
worksheet and pertinent information from the lab textbook before coming to class. You
also should have prepared your lab notebook for the collection of data and summarized the
work you will be performing. Copies of your notebook pages will be collected and will
constitute a small percentage of your laboratory grade. The pages should include: a
statement of purpose, table(s) listing each quantity to be measured and the device(s) which
will be used, equations showing how each derived quantity will be calculated, and a brief
summary of the procedure (preferably in bullet points). The lab will also be open during
my afternoon office hours on Thursdays for student to complete any trials necessary.
Laboratory Reports:
72
Extensions:
Schedule:
Most lab reports will be due one week after the laboratory experiment is performed (see
the schedule for exceptions) at the beginning of the lab period. Some reports will be in the
form of a short report sheet, others will be full written reports. For your first full written
report you will need to turn in a first draft, which will be returned to you with comments
and suggestions for improvement. You will then be given a chance to revise the report and
submit a final draft a week after the midterm exam. More information about how to write
and what is expected in a full written laboratory report will be given during the first lab
session. Late reports will be penalized 5% per day (unless permission for an extension is
given at least 24 hours before the due date). Though you will be working in groups on
the experiment, each student must submit an original report (either a report sheet or a full
written report). While you are encouraged to work together on thinking through the
concepts, equations and calculations, each student must write his or her report
independently. Overly collaborative reports will be penalized or rejected altogether.
On extremely rare occasions an extension may be granted on a problem set or laboratory
report. Permission for an extension must be received from Dr. Perrine at least 24 hours
before an assignment is due, in order for the assignment not to be penalized for being late.
NO PROBLEM SETS OR LAB REPORTS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF
FINALS WEEK, DECEMBER 12, 2011

Fall 2011
Prof. Susan Bates Meyer 264 x2341 s-bates@onu.edu b-wile@onu.edu
Welcome to the laboratory portion of Inorganic Chemistry I (Chem 3711) at Ohio Northern University! This
laboratory section meets Thursdays from noon to 2:45 in Meyer Hall 221 (aka “Synthesis Lab”). The experiments
chosen for this course have been carefully selected to complement the lecture offerings, and highlight the
synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of inorganic and organometallic compounds. These
experiments will be quite different in form and procedure from those you have encountered in Introductory or
Organic Chemistry courses at ONU.
In addition to the scientific objectives for each experiment, we hope to address aspects of communication in a
scientific setting in several ways. First, the practice of keeping good laboratory notebook records throughout your
76
experiments will be critical to later data analysis. These skills translate to the research laboratory, and even to
later graduate or professional work. Second, prior to attending lab, you will be asked to prepare a short outline or
proposal for the day. Since we only meet once a week for three hours, it is critical that you come prepared and
focussed, having already identified areas where you may have questions. Third, you will be asked to communicate
the results of your experiments in a variety of ways. As scientists, we have a responsibility to communicate with
the general public (not just fellow scientists) in a coherent and intelligible way. To this end, you will be asked to
conduct a “peer review” for one lab report, as well as to present some material in a group poster format.
We hope that you find these experiments fun, informative, and colorful.
Text & Materials
There is no formal lab text for this course, but several experiments are drawn from or based upon material in the
primary chemical literature, as well as Synthesis and Technique in Inorganic Chemistry, 3rd Edn. by Gregory S.
Girolami, Thomas B. Rauchfuss and Robert J. Angelici (available in Dr. Bates’ office, or at the library). References
to the chemical literature are presented in the text for each experiment.
You are required to wear safety googles and a lab coat at all times in the lab.
A bound, quad lined laboratory notebook (carbon copy not necessary) such as those available in the bookstore or
from online retailers is required. You may also wish to keep a binder for lab handouts and spectra/data for each
experiment. All other materials required to complete each experiment are provided.
Prof. Bradley Wile Meyer 264A x2986
Attendance
Attendance and completion of all laboratory activities for this course is required. If you must miss a lab as a result
of an illness or a University approved function, your are required to notify the instructor(s) well in advance. If it is
possible to arrange another meeting outside the scheduled hours for the course, you may do so only when an
instructor and/or the TA are present. No unsupervised work of any kind is permitted in the laboratory. A report of
some kind (see individual labs, “For Your Report” section) must be submitted to receive any credit for each
experiment.
Lab sessions are scheduled to run two hours and fourty five minutes, and you should expect each meeting to fill
that time. On occasion, a lab session may be slightly shorter than normal, but you should not make appointments
on or off campus during the scheduled lab time. On occasion, you may have to set up part of an experiment for
the following week. If this cannot be accomplished during the scheduled meeting, and would compromise your
ability to perform the subsequent experiment, you may arrange to work outside of lab with the permission of an
instructor at least 24 hours in advance.
Cleanliness in the Laboratory
Out of consideration for the other students using this laboratory please keep shared work areas clean, including
capping solvent and reagent bottles, promptly disposing of any waste (as directed in each experiment), brushing
solids from balances and benches, and washing/returning all glassware at the conclusion of each laboratory
meeting. Cleaning up is part of the experiment!
Safety
You are expected to read and abide by the safety policies for the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, as
well as the specific rules for the lab. If you are unsure about any aspect of safety in the lab, please ask your TA or an
instructor. Safety glasses must be worn at all times in the laboratory. Any unsafe or inappropriate behavior in the
laboratory may be reflected in your grade.
Lab Reports & Grading
Most lab reports written for this course will be one of two types: short reports, consisting mainly of specific notes
and responses to the laboratory activities, with less emphasis on the background and introduction in your written
report; and full reports, which include a more in depth discussion of your laboratory activities, including a brief
survey of the relevant literature, discussion of the results and sources of error, and suggestions for future
improvement. Lab reports are due by the start (i.e. noon) of the lab period indicated. Lab reports should be typed,
and relevant spectra/figures should be inserted electronically. In addition to a paper copy, you should compile
your report as a .pdf, and upload it to the course WebCT page. Late reports will be penalized at a rate of 1 point
deducted per day late (weekends count as one day). Careful notes and sample calculations should be recorded in
your laboratory notebook.

Ohio Northern University students have an obligation to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct. This
guideline applies to all examinations and written work, including laboratory reports, submitted for a grade. If you
find yourself questioning whether an action might be considered academic dishonesty, chances are that it is.
Students are encouraged to discuss experimental data and work together, though material to be turned in for a
grade is to be completed independently (except where noted).
