General Guidelines for Working in the Laboratory: 

Lab is scheduled for a 2 1/4-hour period, once per week.  You will be expected to be available to spend this time in the lab, although it is possible you will occasionally be dismissed early.  Do not make appointments which conflict with your scheduled lab period.

Bring your safety glasses, a pen and paper and a copy of your lab procedure to lab each week.

During each lab you will be required to write out and hand in a written piece of work.  These reports will be used to determine your lab grade.  10 points will be possible for each week’s activities.  Lab reports will generally be due as you leave lab, although I may occasionally give you extra time.  Your lab grade will be factored in to your grade for the lecture course, however you MUST pass lab to pass the course. 

Labs are like kitchens, in that they can be unsafe places if you are careless.  We will discuss safety in detail during the first lab session.  You will be required to read, understand, and sign a lab safety sheet on the first day.  Unsafe behavior could result in your dismissal from the lab.
