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, 6th Ed.; Freeman: New York, 2003. 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 two exams, a shorter take-home exam, and a comprehensive final (ACS Standardized). Exam dates (subject to change by unanimous consent):
February 17, Tuesday lab period
March 30, Tuesday lab period
April, Take-home
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

Academic Honesty - Unless otherwise stated, all work submitted for a grade must be your own. Students found cheating on examinations, quizzes, or laboratory reports will be dealt with according to the procedures in the Faculty Handbook, which allow for either a reduction in course grade or expulsion from the course with a grade of F. You are encouraged to work on homework problems with other students. However, for any homework that is collected for grading, you must submit your own work; outright copying of homework will be penalized.
