Grading
Grade Computation	Laboratory accounts for 25% of the course grade. A minimum grade of 55% in lab is required in order to pass the course. The lab grade will be computed as follows: Experiments = 35% To obtain credit for the scheduled experiments, the student will submit a report as directed in the designated dropbox in iLearn. Products = 15% In experiments where a product is generated, the product sample will be turned in and evaluated with respect to yield and purity Notebook = 20%   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 tests = 30%  Quizzes covering both practical and theoretical topics from the scheduled experiments will be given. Relevant material from class lecture may also be included. Occasional pop quizzes may also be included for a portion of this grade.
