CHM 101 and CHM 110: A lab reminder

[This notice will stay at the top of the page for a few days.  Scroll down for the latest course notes.]

Just a few quick reminders::  You’re expected to come to lab on time each week.  As stated in the syllabus for both CHM 110 and CHM 101 …

Any student arriving to lab more than twenty minutes after the lab’s scheduled start time will be counted absent and will not be allowed to participate in the experiment

Please arrive on time.  If you’re late, you will miss the lab’s safety information and discussion, and I can’t allow you to work.

Also, remember your materials.  You need to bring these to each lab:

  1. Proper attire (long pants and closed-toe shoes – shoes that cover the tops of your feet.  Bring your safely glasses, too,  if you prefer your own pair.
  2. Lab manual
  3. Calculator
  4. Laboratory Notebook (CHM 110 only)

Thanks!
