Class/Lab
Expectations
-Attendance - Conduct
Attend all lectures and lab sessions, take notes in class, and behave in a way that is conducive to learning for all and
safety for yourself and your classmates. Disruptive behavior is not acceptable and may result in temporary or permanent
expulsion from the class with loss of credit. Ask questions when clarification is needed in a non-disruptive way. KEEP
ALL ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION APPLIANCES TURNED OFF AND OUT OF SIGHT. Laptops should not be
used to chat or exchange information during class. They should be turned off during major tests. All assignments turned
in for grading must be the work of the student. A student is responsible for knowing the substance of any assignment
he/she turns in. The instructor reserves the right of verifying that.
-OWL2 Homework Reading is not enough to develop the skills needed in chemistry. You develop those skills by doing
the assigned homework problems and questions promptly. Your homework is done on your OWL account which you must
purchase and register online. Each chapter is worth 10 points for a total of 100 points. That is 10% of your semester
grade. To register for OWL2 as a member of THIS class, go to:

-Laboratory
•You must wear SAFETY GOGGLES during the entire lab session.
•You must attend all labs and be actively involved in the planning and work needed to carry out an
experiment with your partner. Remember to record your partner's name under your own in the lab
report. No more than one partner is allowed.
[See next page]
•Safety must be the first consideration in all lab work. Follow both, the printed instructions, and the oral
instructions given by the instructor.
•Collaboration with your partner should be limited to lab work and sharing data. Each partner should
keep a complete record of data collected. The answers to calculations and questions in a lab report should
be your own, not group answers. Share the lock combination with your partner.
•Your lab report is due at the beginning of next class after the experiment was completed. There will be no
make up labs and no lab grade will be dropped. If you are absent during a lab session, you may write a lab
report using your partner's data for half credit.
•Before you leave at the end of a lab session, make sure the instructor has checked your data for that
experiment and INITIALED them. Plan on working the entire lab period without rushing or wasting
time. WORK WITH ONE PARTNER ONLY.
