Laboratory Exercises for Organic Chemistry, (5th Ed.) (LE) Crouse

SAFETY GOGGLES are required at all times. It is recommended that the student bring in paper towels, a lab apron, rubber gloves and detergent.

GRADING

EXPERIMENTS (35%) To obtain credit for the scheduled experiments, the student will turn in a typewritten report after the conclusion of each experiment.  

PRODUCTS (15%) In experiments where a product is generated, the product will be turned in and evaluated with respect to yield and purity.

NOTEBOOK (20%) A bound LABORATORY NOTEBOOK with numbered pages and carbons will be required. The notebook is required at all lab sessions and must be kept current for minimum credit.  Pre-lab carbons will be turned in at the beginning of each experiment for 2/5 of this credit.  Daily laboratory record carbons will be turned in following each lab period, for another 2/5 credit.  Notebooks will be subject to unannounced examination and evaluation at any time during the semester, for the remaining 1/5 credit.

LAB TEST (30%) Quizzes covering both theoretical and practical topics from the scheduled experiments will be given. Relevant material from lecture is also included.  Occasional "pop" quizzes may also be included for a portion of this grade.
