OFFICE HOURS:            MWF, 9:30 - 11:00 a.m.;  WF, 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.;   or by appointment

 

TEXT:          Harris, D. C. Quantitative Chemical Analysis, 5th Ed.; Freeman: New York, 1999.  Readings from other texts and sources will also be made.

                               

LAB POLICIES:          Safety glasses and bound lab notebook required; no bare feet, sandals or shorts in lab.  Carbons of lab data are due at the end of the day work is done.  Written lab reports will be due one week following completion of each experiment, or as announced.  Late reports will be docked five points plus one point per day late.

 

EXAMS:          There will be three hour exams and a comprehensive final (ACS Standardized).  Exam dates:

                                          February 13, Tuesday lab period

                                          March 20, Tuesday lab period

                                          April 10, Tuesday lab period

 

HOMEWORK:          Will be assigned regularly, collected and checked. 

 

GRADING SCHEME:          Exams                              300                    Extra Credit:  3 pts added for each

                                Final                              120                    Chem Colloquium attended, in excess

                                                                                                Lab Experiments                    300                    of class absences; max of 21 pts; grade boost limited to
